    Lyrics:
    There's a brand new dance
    But I don't know its name
    That people from bad homes
    Do again and again
    It's big and it's bland
    Full of tension and fear
    They do it over there but we don't do it here
    Fashion! Turn to the left
    Fashion! Turn to the right
    Oooh, fashion!
    We are the goon squad
    And we're coming to town
    Beep-beep
    Beep-beep
    Listen to me - don't listen to me
    Talk to me - don't talk to me
    Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
    Beep-beep
    There's a brand new talk
    But it's not very clear
    That people from good homes
    Are talking this year
    It's loud and tasteless
    And I've heard it before
    You shout it while you're dancing
    On the whole dance floor
    Oh bop, fashion
    Fashion! Turn to the left
    Fashion! Turn to the right
    Oooh, fashion!
    We are the goon squad
    And we're coming to town
    Beep-beep
    Beep-beep
    Listen to me - don't listen to me
    Talk to me - don't talk to me
    Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
    Beep-beep
    Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
    Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
    Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
    Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
    La-la la la la la la-la
    About David Bowie:
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    Some say he was ahead of his time. I say he was right on time. In a generation that needed to see what versatility, creativity, and originality should look and sound like. Both he and Prince personified images that people probably felt made them different. In their cases, different was cool.

    Fun fact: Many of the "dance moves" used in this video are re-used in later Bowie videos. The 'piano-playing' move at 1:02 and 2:51 is used in the "Blackstar" video at 2:10 and various other points throughout. The move where he suddenly touches the ground at 0:32 is used in the "Ashes to Ashes" video at 1:11, while Bowie and a couple of women are walking in front of a bulldozer. (Yes, you're missing context.) I'd love to hear other examples of moves in this video used in other ones if anyone knows of some.

      Wow, I had no idea Slow Burn was connected to Space Oddity & Ashes since I haven't seen the video. Hopefully that one gets uploaded soon, since it has yet to be on an official channel. The lyrics in the Pet Shop Boys remix of Hallo Spaceboy also have connections to Major Tom, and the 'clown' from Ashes appears in the shortened video for "Love is Lost". Bowie really liked keeping his characters intertwined.

      You people are ignorant of what he's even singing about. This is about the "New Romantic Movement" in Britain. A dead give away should be "They do it over there but they don't do it here." Meaning how British pop fans dressed going to the clubs. The New Romantic movement was a pop culture movement that originated in Britain in the late 70s (This song was 1980) involving fans and their style of fashion.

    Bowie was supposedly fascinated by G.E.'s "weird" face. G.E.'s also in the "Station to Station" concert scene of the German _Christiane F._ movie. Plus, Bowie had planned to tour in 1981 for this album, after his run with _The Elephant Man_ on Broadway ended. He went on the Tonight Show to perform "Life On Mars" and "Ashes To Ashes" with what would have been the touring band (including G.E.).
    Of course, that tour didn't happen because of David freaking out about Lennon's murder (David was, by some accounts, Target #2), so G.E. went on to work with Hall & Oates in 1981 while David calmed down in Switzerland.
    Isn't that something? If Lennon hadn't been killed, there probably wouldn't've been "Under Pressure", because David would've been on tour promoting the "Scary Monsters" album. I think he would've rather had his good friend John back over a hit song any day of the week.

    Suddenly the Goon Squad comes to town and to power and your marching off to War. What for? Who knows? They made up an Enemy for you to go die for fighting them.
    It’s Problem. Dilemma. Solution.
    George Orwell wrote in his classic book 1984 that the Party in power kept changing the enemy back and forth depending on the current climate. It was a state of constant War which you’re never meant to win. Your just supposed to train and march off to War and Die! You were basically being manipulated and used 24/7. Fascism back in Fashion.

      He actually wrote it as a reaction to the "Blitz" movement of the late 1970s in post-punk London. Blitz was like a rebirth of glam, with all the bands trying to outdo each other in the fashion department. It featured bands like early Spandau Ballet, Visage, and Midge Ure-era Ultravox. It was very much a precursor to the New Romantic sounds of the early 1980s.

    Robert Fripp's guitar playing in this song is phenomenal!

    Bowie had the coolest band in the world. I mean, look at them. Just look at them. They all look so f'ing effortless neat. Instagram could never. 80's video power. Can't get it anymore. Influencers will never know...
