Lyrics
Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember like everybody has to wait in line
Oh, Blue Jean, look out world, oh you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can tempt me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody sent me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can tempt me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody sent me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody, somebody
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
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.

Only Bowie can steal Bowie's girl
Fuck ik prince can steal any girl with higheels, lipstick and maybe a motorcycle😂😂😂
Bowie could steal any girl if he really wanted to
@Toshino kyoko senpai Lol. Great comment...
That comment is 100% perfect.
Any man too apparently
I don't think it's possible to not love David Bowie
Sadly everything and everyone has haters.
sad but true. one of those haters is kanye.
I know people who don't. I find it...odd...criminal, really...
@@thevoid99 howcome ?
Disliking David Bowie is about to be classed as a mental illness....
When Bowie played the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1997, he picked up a light and shined it on the crowd, just like in this video. We waived and hollered when he aimed it at us, up in the balcony. David Bowie shined a spotlight on me.
That was Bowie's genius! In a way, he shined a spotlight on all of us.
Thanks for sharing this!
❤️💔
❤
I think David Bowie shined a light on ALL of us, really...
Twenty years earlier he said he'd wouldn't play in Seattle again
Fun fact: When Bowie was asked what favorite character of his he played, he said it was the dork in the suit he plays in this video 🤣❤
He can play what he wants...
Because that's his real character.
that character is like Dony from the Big Lebowski or also Steve Buscemi's one from the Mystery Train
He does a lot with both characters in the _Jazzin' for Blue Jean_ 20 minute expanded version of this video.
Love " Vic the nerd " which was Bowie's loser/ nerd character here.
I freaking love the make-up, It's so iconic
Me too :D
Yeah
Makeup!!! Is that all you can say about this freaking GEM🤣🤣🤣 I'm kidding the make up ROCKS!!!
Yes he's my Favorite singer R.I.P.
Bowie's sense of humor is on full display here, and it's great.
weehawk who else would go on a video with a plaster over his nose?
yeah David sure has or had a sense of humour nice person as well natural an down to earth I met David as a young pp erson at a concert of his in Melbourne my big brither worked fir Paul Dainty the promoter so i got free ticket and backstage pass what a buzz 13 years old smashed on opiated hash and buds in a big 3 paper at the parry after the fkn conceet one of the biggest events in my young life David was surprised by a 13 year old handing out joints at his party I was a huge fan from age 8 make up hair style clothes yeah the 70s was a wild child had fun
@@primaabadi2597 Lucky you!
weehawk if you haven't seen it yet this is part of a short movie he made which is very funny, watched it all the time on VHS when I was little.
@ Samantha lewin there is a whole extended version of this video that is around 18 mins long and you can see the full back story behind this and it's hilarious ! BOWIE playing a hapless chap plus SCREAMING lord Byron this version has these damn pop -ups that block one last funny clip IN THIS! anyways LUV you enjoy!
I was singing this in CVS pharmacy waiting for my son's asthma meds. People was looking at me like how did I know this song or who it was. Sorry y'all I was born in 69 and graduated from high school in 87. I'm a old school chick! RIP Mr. Bowie
And probably too because you, like myself are Black women. Most people of a variety of ethnic groups don't expect to see us jamming in the isles to music other than that of our own people, but if the groove is good, it just transcends a myriad of thresholds.
I am also class of 87. When ever I hear any 80s songs on the radio or in a store I also sing and get the same looks from people.
Speaking as someone who works at CVS, I can tell you that every time it comes on I can’t help but sing and dance. My coworkers laugh at me because I get excited. It never gets old!
Did YOU drink cough medicine at CVS?
Did YOU sniff some glue? Often in CVS, they respond
quicker if you sing "Dancing In the Street" or
if you show the counter person you're carrying
a switchblade. CVS is the new Vegas!
You are young!
Life has been on planet Earth for 4 billion years. How lucky are we to have existed at the same time as Bowie :-).
David Bowie was always light years ahead of everyone else. And, by the time everyone else caught up with him, David had moved on to something completely different. A genius.
Tedisntakidanymore you are so right in saying so! 👍👍👍
yes that is also why i liked him. i grew up with him. this was my favorite video . he is so beautiful in it.
And some of his earliest records, like Low, are still so very up to date. Absolute genius.
So few are worthy of the title ‘genius,’ but he’s one of them. As you say, always ahead of the curve.
Yes, an artistic genius... However, he often got lost about what is truly important: eternal life in Heaven with the King of Kings who is also the only beautiful Savior.
Every "beauty guru" on TH-cam should watch this just to see what contour can *really* do!
meg arbo I am taking note....just getting into contouring.
meg arbo funny you said this I’m a fan and he is one the first facepainters/ makeup artists
Lol they need to get on bowie level
David Bowie
Yes
1000 years from now David Bowie will still be 1000 years ahead of people
Bowie was years ahead of his time RIP sir
Bowie is the most beautiful being i've ever seen
we saw the sound and vision tour - they had "stage gause" which you can see thru but also project images on . so they had a lot of close ups on him thru the show - it was super cool effect . i bought the tickets to see adrian belew as he played guitar / was musical director for that tour and belew was astonishingly great , even better than usual , but bowie was like truly something special- magical , like an allien or super human ?? that guy had some undefinable magical star quality , he really was one in a trillion . i never saw anyone like that in my life and i cant put my finger on it ( i am straight/ dig women) , but yeah bowie was the real deal rock star - the only real one i ever saw and i have seen a LOT of shows . it kind of translates on camera but you have to be there really . that guy had everyone under a spell ... really sad he went when he did in 2016 . i wish i could have met him. RIP DB- a true rock star .
@@peteytwofinger You're so lucky to have witnessed that. I really wish i had got the chance to see him on stage :(
I have these same feelings.
Shut up, butt munch! (:
I’m a dude, and I argee
Never play for the audience but play for yourself ! That's David Bowie.
I actually saw him live in concert in Pennsylvania in the 90's , what a performance, so memorable.
Inventing his own moves, gestures, make-up melody, story PURE GENIUS
That was mainly the Style Back then.
Yes,what a beautiful mind
Yes. Bowie should get the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Award for being the most fashion forward. Quite a claim to be made when you consider the industry he so excelled in...
Yeah? Bowie is impersonating Marc Bolan who also used a sort of sumo squat style of dance.
th-cam.com/video/ww6252Db47I/w-d-xo.html
Bowie gained fame as a closet Bolan tribute act.
That does not mean that Bowie was not a genius. Geniuses stand on the shoulders of giants.
this is got to be one of bowie's most underrated songs
I agree, it's as hot and catchy as Modern Love or Suffragette City!
I sing it in my head whenever I’m about to get off work for some reason
The fact he's constantly taking the piss out of himself in this short film is amazing. A man at the top of his game - dominant, seminal, era-defining - and totally aware of how ridiculous he is. You don't find that anymore.
Not every man has same sense of humor and same sense of acceptance. Not just a male artist.
si 👍 sempre Bowie canzone Piccolo gioiello 💙
Rest in peace David Bowie 🤒
I miss David Bowie.
This video was recorded at O'Neill's pub in Soho, China Town ,London. You can still see few pics there. Just a tip for Bowie lovers.
There will never be another "BOWIE"!
By 1985, Bowie could have been a legacy rocker, playing his greatest hits and touring to pile up the cash (like the Rolling Stones et al), but instead, he constantly reinvented himself and his sound, changing his look, so that we never knew what we were going to get next. Bowie's music was ALIVE, a growing, living thing that continued changing until his death. Bowie's one of the greats and belongs in whatever pantheon exists in popular music. Bowie didn't follow trends; he made them.
Bowie is a master of reinvention. So cool and outstanding artist.
After 50 years of adoration I still can't get past how utterly divine Bowie looks. He never took a bad image. Sublime creature
Really an epitome of elegance, cool and natural heauty. There are tons of amazingly great photos and video clips of him, in all kinds of costumes and postures. Just watched "Moonage Daydream" in the theatre last night - Brett Morgen's film is going to be a classic - and it is absolutely flooded with stunning shots of this superb man.
@@louise_rose Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@diamonddog4708 D A Pennebaker once said about the Ziggy concert film that >this movie has shown a powerful erotic impact on men and women alike, even on dogs > , and its easy to see why. The take of Width of a Circle from that film is one of the greatest pieces of live footage he ever came up with, astonishing, brave and vulnerable.
@@louise_rose if it's the concert footage of that song where he wore the striped knitted body suit and the thick bangles, I had that poster on my wall at 10 years old 🥰
I'm a female but Bowie appealed on several 'levels'
@@diamonddog4708 Yes, that's the one! Such a truly divine look - and it's like it was made for him (well, maybe it actually was!). :) I also love the way he used his mime acting skills in that one, the moment where he is pulling at the bars to try to break out of a jail cell, and then flying away....!
By the way, the brunette girl watching Bowie in the video here has the same first name as me: the actress is called Louise Scott. Nice detail... :)
The man can pull off white/silver skin like no-one else!❤🤘😊👍❤
Michael Berthelsen well he is an alien from mars u know?!?
And gilded lips that break a heart in two/too.
Criminally underrated song and performer. He was one of a kind and missed badly...
He was never in my top 10 but to be completely honest, I never turned him off while on the radio
…. Is the correct response to this. 10/10
Underrated performer? He's pretty popular, dude. In fact, he was a superstar.
David got a lot of praise and recognition. Don't feel bad for them.
"underrated" how? One of the biggest rock stars of the 20th-21th century.
Ahhh Bowie’s stage presence and showmanship is just flawless. A true artist, this kind of artistry is lost now a days. Rest in greatness Blackstar 🙏🏽
Davie Bowie was truly a pioneer. The man was ahead of his time.
This is seriously one of the best music videos ever. The man was a god. Still is. The punchy lyrics "SOMEBODY SEND ME!" The horns. The costumes. The tight editing. The choreo. The makeup. The man's epic bone structure. It's all just too much. Too much!
It is too much but! he was a god so he IS immortal. I was lucky enuf to see him perform in Vancouver. Peter Gabriel was the opening act. First Peter put the entire audience into a trance. Then David appeared and we bowed down, as we knew we would! before our god. Seriously gifted, his voice had amazing range and emotional nuances. Everything was carefully designed. The costumes, his moves, all choreographed in synch with the band. The entire performance was elegantly and expertly delivered. Yet his chatter with the audience was always self deprecating[!] and charismatic. Made us all feel like we were his guests. He was magical! A true artist! Rare and hard to define.
@@barbfraser7194 Hey, thanks for the great reply. I'm a huge Peter Gabriel fan, and had been wondering if PG and DB ever collaborated on anything considering all their similarities, so it's awesome to hear they toured together! And yes, one of the most endearing things about David Bowie is his humility. He was so truly down to earth (considering he was Major Tom and a space alien and all) and had a great sense of humor. His interviews with Conan O'Brien perfectly exemplify his humor about himself and life in general. th-cam.com/video/P4d8QrRJvsE/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
This man is music history. Genious.❤️
All in one location. No telling how takes it took with him playing two characters but to do it at one place cut down on time and cost. My favorite shot is him with the band going in a circle.
@stillhousefilms6165 This is an excerpt from the long version, Jazzing for Blue Jean video.
He smiled and touched my hand in Houston
A real genius ! One of the greatest ever. Unforgetable. How not to love this starman with so many faces ?! Still the Best. 2022
Is it just me, or was he the most beautiful creature that ever lived?
nope not just you, he is & was
No it's not just you but you're brilliant
I dunno, I think she was in close contention.
He will forever be beauty personified.
Ofc he was
The makeup is gorgeous in this video! The detail and contour lines on Bowie's face~~what's not to luv?! Over thirty years later...still jealous. LOL
RIP
His perfect, imperfect teeth
I was born in 2005 and never got the chance to see him live... No words can describe how much I miss him
I was born in the same year too. I was too young when he was alive 🥲
same
Was lucky enough to see him live twice. Wembley stadium and Wembley Arena. His voice was phenomenal
I love Bowie's dancing in this video, so confident. He said this song was about picking up birds, not too cerebral lol. I love it
Sometimes it seems that DB is still with us. I've just discovered this song recently! He looks stunning in this clip! 💙💙
Rebeka Tassinari you should look up the full video, Jazzin for Blue Jean! It’s hilarious
Part of a 30- minute MTV short film Jazzin' for Blue Jean released in 1984
He does doesnt he girl!xx🤑😨🙏
He was a looker for sure, Rebeka Tassinari, in addition to being a uniquely talented musical genius.
Of course he is, Love! Of course he is. ❤☺
Rest In Peace David Bowie, your legacy will live on!
"Remember they always let you down when you need 'em."
Very true Mr Bowie.
Very true.
⚡👍👍👍💔
Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?
She got a police bike
She got a turned-up nose
Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)
One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
Blue Jean, look out world, you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything
Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)
Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody, somebody (oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)

The facial makeup that David wears while singing on stage is just fantastic. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍
Blue Jean by David Bowie was released on September 1, 1984!
I absolutely love Bowie's look in this video, the make up is superb & hair style/colour is great. Tried copying it years ago at the barbers & it looked pants compared to Bowie's! lol
BengeJ Uknowit
I love his lookon this video. If I went out looking like that, I would look outrageous, but Bowie is so cool, he could pull anything off.
And The costume of the band
I tried the same thing when I was a kid back in 1985 but with the make up and just like you said, ...pants! 😆 I looked bizarre, like some poor reject in shitty Halloween make up. Lol
To a girl, this was her favorite Bowie song, I sing the chorus when I'm in a good mood.
David Bowie isn't gone, he's just there, OUTSIDE.
Forever The Chameleon of Rock.
I love when he do his Dance moves !😭😭I love every little thing about him
He's so pretty.
I still remember seeing this as child and just wondering Who he was!
Who was he?
One of the Greats!
This was THE VIDEO to stay up all night to watch in '84 (I was doing Stage Management at GSA, Guildford...having grown in in Salford! Only got there thanks to my Brave Mum!..standing up to that bastard!)
Brilliant, Gorgeous and funny!
Stunning Vocal performance, funcy catchy song...Spot On DB!
One of my favorite David Bowie songs.
YESSS ❤
Moi aussi
I really like this song. I feel like it never got the respect it deserved. Same with Panic in Detroit.
Yes it did. It was a hit, and played very loudly in all the clubs in New York.
Damn, this Bowie fella sure seemed to write a lot of music, didn' he?
Genskiel It's what happens when you're a genius like Bowie or Prince...😉
I know people who have been Bowie fans since the 70s and are still discovering his stuff.
Nearly 30 albums worth
Yeah.right all by himself you think..?
This song is really underrated. It deserves way more views
A magician, an actor, incredible singer!
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
After all!
Incredible songwriter also.
Fun fact: At 0:57, you can see Richard Fairbrass on bass guitar. He would later go on to sing lead vocals on the song "I'm Too Sexy" in his band, Right Said Fred, which he formed with his brother Fred in 1989.
MattCraftDotDerp I was going to mention that as a jokey look a like, didn't realise it was actually him lol
My girlfriend at the time was in Right said Freds video Deeply Dippy :-) But i really came here for Bowie
Haha that's awesome!!
Wow!!is he a real bassist?
@@williammclauchlan2610 he is! he was in Bowie's band at the time, hence his presence in this video
i love this song and the short film to promote it is classic as it has bowie being the rock star and a dork. i miss him....
When I was in the ambulance I could hear the song "Heroes" playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness, everything was really bright and I remember thinking, "Wait, is David Bowie really God?"
Garcia: Criminal Minds
I just came across this song and I can't stop repeating it.. I so love David Bowie always been a big fan...loved this man since I was small I'm 52 now and even in Heaven I will still love this man❤❤❤
David Bowie is the very very best of the music. Is my favourite singer ! Thank you David !
Unforgetable unic man/woman ! The artist with so many faces ! We still love you timeless artist !
4 years without you... I miss you so much. I have to say I’ve never felt a bond towards someone as I do to Bowie. Your music has helped me through some dark times, hope you’re happy in heaven, the most talented being to exist....
I have *always* loved his makeup. The jean Genie? Love this.
Just... Bowie 💙
No, that's Vic and Screaming Lord Byron
Mr. Jones lives forever
nice pfp
By far one of my favorite David Bowie videos
This is the greatest artist to ever live pure genius on another level
The greatest artistic chameleon of all time!!! How he managed to stay on top of the game generation after generation... something that only comes along once in a lifetime if that often. So glad I got to see this guy's entire career unfold for the ages. You earned your rest David. Go in peace you beautiful soul you.
Bowie at his best, we always loved this track.
This has been one of my favourite Bowie songs for years- LOVE this video 😍
I was an 80s teen and not familiar with Bowie’s earlier stuff. This was my intro to him. Have always loved this song
Producer - So who do you want in the music video?
Bowie - David Bowie, Hot girl, Hot girl, Hot girl, and oh David Bowie.
the first David Bowie video I ever saw.... I was a teenage girl who was feeling very left out at the social scene at Highschool... I fell in love with evvvverything. And so my journey continued with the otherworldly and accepting who I am... Thank you, David Bowie.
One of my favorite songs of all time, he could honestly do no wrong
5 years without you, David .. but you are always on our minds !!
We miss you ............................... !
David Bowie was a gorgeous man hands down he was Hot !!! Rest In Peace Beautiful man with a killer voice.
I was 9 years old when I saw this video with my brother. We were immediately a
fan.
me too...
The extended video blew my mind when it aired on MTV.
Irreplaceable.❤️⚘️
I love that there are roles for both David Bowie and David Jones here.
I probably hadn't seen this since around the time it came out. Bowie's mastery of adding visual arts to his music transferred over the MTV perfectly. He did it with Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, way before videos
Even when Bowie went fully pop, it was still classy and arty as hell.
Bowie you'll be missed. Your creativity is phenomenal!
My goodness! I totally forgot about this song and I haven't seen the video since the 80's. Great song!
One of the best videos and songs....in my mind i relate this with the Jagger's "just another night"...fantastic both...
His make-up is So flawless. I love David Bowie.😎😘😋
Beautiful, with or without make-up and costumes. A singular, beautiful man.
Man, rock'n'roll in 1984 was so much FUN!!!!
This dude was just always way ahead of his time and operated on a different level.
I never thought I'd utter such a sentence but his makeup job is fucking impeccable here.
On the old EMI page for this video, one of the lighting guys who worked on it told a story about how he figured out the way to light Bowie's eyes and face in the opening sequence with something he ran out and picked up at a Poundland/Dollar General-type of store. Now that the EMI version has been taken down from TH-cam, all the comments are lost, including his story. :|
I remember that! He said something about us being able to see the lamp reflected on David's eyes at the start of the video.
It looks like some kind of homemade ring light - they probably wanted direct from-the-front lighting to make it obvious that the shadows on his face were made with makeup.
This is what?? David Bowie is pop rock and soul forever ❤️
Yes, he was, is, a perfect creature and beloved by so many of us!
This man is my hero since I discovered labyrinth back in the 80's and delving into his music..all I can say is wow..I was only 8 when I discovered him..
大好きな声と曲❤
Now this is what we call British Soul and Rock blended.
I miss him so much. This video is way ahead of its time.
That's the craziest coolest most freakingly awesome makeup he's wearing. It's 3D effect screws with you at first but you can't look away. Reach I time you see it you forget it's effect, then you're reminded again. He probably designed it himself. Only Bowie.
David Bowie was art.
Such majesty. He was so beautiful.
I searched for this song for over 20 years and felt foolish when it's no other than the MAN OF MUSIC DAVID BOWIE !!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU DAVID BOWIE
Sjajna stvar......Bowie u duploj ulozi - legendarno
Love this look actually Love both looks
Screamin Lord Byron
Dorky nerd Vic
Bowie is spectacular a one of a kind true talent. ❤️🎶🎵🎶
David Bowie and David Jones. 😉

Era un genio de la música QEPD Mr. DAVID BOWIE
Bowie was so cool. His music will live forever. One of kind.
