Technically, I should be crediting “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” but if you don’t know this is Bowie, then I’m going to send the ghost of Chris Farley over to hit you on the head with a tack hammer. Only Bowie can pull off singing a song as a fictional character, about a fictional character that happens to be the same fictional character he’s portraying.
So sit back and enjoy the dulcet tones of David Bowie’s alter ego. If you somehow happen to be looking for a more modern interpretation of this song check out Boston-based The Daily Pravda who recently covered this song better than just about anyone. It can be found here.
