Lyrics
Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(Let's dance)
To the song they're playing on the radio
(Let's sway)
While colour lights up your face
(Let's sway)
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms
And tremble like a flower
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
For fear your grace should fall
(Let's dance)
For fear tonight is all
(Let's sway)
You could look into my eyes
(Let's sway)
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
And if you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms
And tremble like a flower
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(Let's dance)
To the song we're playing
(Let's sway)
(Let's sway)
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
(Let's dance)
(Let's)
(Let's)
(Let's)
(Let's dance)
(Let's)
Let's dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
(Let's dance)
(Let's sway)
(Let's sway)
Let's dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
(Let's dance)
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.

Greetings from Singapore
Took my daughter to see him in Vancouver in 1984, she was 5, had red shoes and thought this song had been written for her. She danced in the aisle with her red shoes on.
Love this story 😁. I was only born in 88 but i have to say most of the music i like was produced before then. I do love 90s stuff. Most of todays is trash. Bowie is a legend..and im proud to say english 😎
Ginny Scott that’s pricless
thats amazing love it. i imagine that moment and you daughters face full of joy.... thank you for sharing ...im from 87
That's sweet. ♥️🖤♥️🖤
Cute
David Bowie released this masterpiece in 1983. In 2023, this song still rocks!
It is a memory of the US festival when the sun was setting and friendly fires were lit all around the crater. David Bowie began performing this song and people including myself began dancing. I heard somewhere he had arrived from being in Australia, probably true.
It does
Will in 2023 such song will be created?
@@larskruger3589 Doubt it!
Keep it coming what a song man
All you poor folks who didn't live the late 70s,the 80s,and early 90s I feel for ya... The greatest of times to be young in America bar none...
Oh yes you are so right, I wouldn't change it for nothing!
A foretaste of heaven and in my opinion proof positive that God exists.
40 years later I'm still listening to him , R.I.P David Bowie you made us dance.
40 years later, gonna cry now
I am listening to him now absolutely love him xx
Damn right!!
He had a fresh haunting voice. Nobody sounded like him.
agree with you a voice like no other
And nobody ever will sound like him again 😢
True...and funny enough a lot of 80s male singers tried to sound like him
70's and 80's produced the greatest voices in history --- a very unique 20 years in our culture!
It’s sucks when he had cancer his voice deteriorated as he aged.
David Bowie: let's dance
Me: sure
Juan Perez Rude.
@Juan Perez Rude af my man...guess u are a little bit jealous lol
@Juan Perez LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE!
@Juan Perez Yeah, all those drug killer, look at cartels that kill and torture you. Even the killers who act against the indigenous peoples. How many will be that hundreds or thousands?
@Juan Perez easy to tell you've never had sex foreign trash
Stevie Ray Vaughan and David Bowie is just a masterful combo. SRV knocked it out of the park.
RIP David. There will never be another like you.
David Bowie was one of the biggest Humanitarian people you’d ever known, the reason he featured the Aboriginal people in this video was to shine light on them because their Lives Mattered too. David Bowie was against unfair racist mistreatment of fellow human beings. I remember him making MTV to show more black entertainers, and if they didn’t he’d boycott himself. As a black American man I love and respected what David Bowie stood for, may he rest in heaven.
Video WAS RECORDERED IN OUTBACK AUSTRALIA PUB , BEST PUBS ION THE WORLD David Bowie WAY THE COOLEST GUY EVER TOO LIVE ,, Didn' t Have TOO DANCE
@chucky. Thanks for the info, Listened to this for years. Didn't realise until now
I heard this song growing up as a kid, always loved the song. But this is my first time watching the Video. Awesome work there Mr.Bowie
Not much has changed for Aboriginal Australians. There are more in the workforce but they still have less opportunities than most Australians. Still, small steps I suppose. These days it's not just Aboriginal people, there is a lot of ageism and sexism. More male CEOS than female, more male representation than female in politics, that sort of thing. Australia is like a smaller version of America in some ways. This video was made only 16 years after they were granted citizenship by the way. Good old David, 6 years gone next Monday, R.I.P. great man.
Man I understand where you're coming from, just think how savage some still are in the world my daughter told me she was lesbian I still love her just because she's different peace out.
There will NEVER be another David Bowie...he's truly a legend!

Let's hope there is someone to not replace Bowie, but follow in his foot steps for we need talent to regenerate itself, or we will end up with nothing but shit

Me, hello there fellow David Bowie fan😅
Born in the early 90’s. Listening in 2024. But knows the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s had the best music.
And 1983 had the best music and best videos.
@@ajs41 Definitely
VERY astute younger person❗😊
Bet you didn’t know Stevie Ray Vaughn actually created the guitar part of this song and Bowie didn’t want to credit him for it. Look it up.
@@maximusextreme3725 I shall.
An undeniable fact about Bowie: He had an incredible voice.

I love how David Bowie tells everyone to just dance and all he does is stand at the wall being Bowie.
I LOVE IT!!! 😁
does it mean you love how david bowie tells everyone to dance and all he done is stand at the wall being himself as it be reluctantly?
@@user-bx5iq8cm6v yep. he's too cool
I love this song.. but it's a commentary on racism.. the red shoes are a symbol of wealth..apparently this was filmed in Australia and the local dancing at the beginning was making fun of the aboriginals in the video.. although it was edited is was a true depiction of racism... I love this song.. the seriousness of the words
As do i, what an artist i say. Don't let your eyes deceive you.
The gods do not dance.
He was a pure genius. RIP Bowie.
Hhh
@@angelamoes240 He said that it was a commercial album and he don't like it 🙂
My son(30) and his friends are amazed at the music I grew up with. So I pop in A Reality Tour DVD, they can't stop watching and are saying, we barely heard of the Bowie guy, yet he is much better than anyone today.
Agree. I'm 66 and my daughter, 26, grew up on this music and loves it just like I do.
Reality was his last tour.🤗🤗🤗
1:28 Om
So much better.. no one can compare this century.
So very nice special GBU!
As an Aboriginal man, I really appreciate the fact that David Bowie loved everyone. I've always loved his music, this just makes me love his heart. Rest In Love & Peace David Bowie.
Its what we all should be aspiring to. That was the Australia of my youth.
Happy Australia day
Along with Les hiddins 🙂
I am as well. Hello from Saskatchewan
I think he had a special place in his heart for Australia ❤❤
The blonde woman in the off white dress walking away from the camera in the mall is me. I was 19 years old and had met him and he asked me if I'd like a few seconds in his Let's Dance video. I thought I might die.
Lmao
Bowie was there at the mall even though he wasn't in any of the mall scenes? I find that suspicious...
Oh wow!!!! That was an amazing opportunity you had!!!! Beautiful memory.
@@pepothepigthemysteriousgam3694 😂😳 i just read the comment. I didn't even ask myself if it was true or not. So, i guess it's a lie!! 😤
We met! I am the old jeweler in that video. I’m doing well for my 110 years of age
2024 we all still LOVE David Bowie 4 -ever
RESPECT and R.I.P. David Bowie🤔💯
This song just turned 40 years old.
Never gets old. ❤
I'm glad you mentioned that. Well done on reminding us that!
Yess
Absolutely 💯 ❤
Never will! 👍
Happy belated birthday!
This hits you hard from the start, and never lets up. Absolute classic. Will never get old.
yes :)
The best song ever & I have a pair of red shoes my cuz gave them to me she is not with us but ever time I hear & her saying was what the skinny
Classic indeed...forever 😊💗
This clip was filmed during the Serious Moonlight tour. The pub scene is at the Carinda Hotel, which is a long way from Sydney. A very long way. Almost the outback and it was up for sale last year for $220,000. Fun fact.
@@misterdavid5400 I am from Poland and... do you want watching some stars from Poland ? Wy got great artist too
In 1983 I was working in Saudi Arabia and every Friday we would receive Betamax tapes of MTV and The Tube. I can still remember watching this for the first time and thinking WTF!! Rewind, repeat, rewind, repeat. Still love it 40 years later....
My daughter is now 28 and just discovering Bowie. God I hope she shares!
brah your daughter only discovered bowie now ?
You know this song is 37 years old and it sounds like it was just recorded yesterday. Now that is what music is supposed to sound like.
Still slaps
Steevie Ray Vaughan jump's out in final solo...
I couldn't agree more timeless.
Sadly, it "doesnt sound like it was recorded yesterday" because nowadays they would put way less Delay and reverb on his voice, and everything would be stuck "to the grid" ... Without mentioning pop songs have less riffs and solos 😳 (Let's remember Let's Dance was DB take on mainstream music)
Don't sound like it was recorded yesterday, but still a masterpiece.

Credit where credit is due. Many great musicians.
Killer line up!!!!
.. and that's not including the pub.
This song was the biggest hit of David's comeback career in 1983 !I couldn't get enough of the melody or the lyrics David's voice really suited this rhythm!
David Bowie worked with Nile Rodgers who helped provide a guitar solo during the recording of the song. Including having songwriting credits with him. An inseparable duo!
As an Australian seeing aboriginals in a song of this age made me almost spit out my water
David bowie was truly epic

@Golden Cube I was TODAY years old when I found out SRV played that solo. I should have known, immediately recognized the tone and sound afterwards...I always heard it, always knew somewhere in my heart...I just got fooled...
LOL - it also happens to be my birthday, so I am actually 41 years old today. :D
CUANDO LA MÚSICA ERA DE VERDAD!! perdimos mucho con tu perdida 😢

David Bowie a true Legend and one of the greatest male artists ever!!!!
I love this song with David Bowie's vocals and Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar. Timeless.
I never knew this
Debbie Aussie land Central West.
@@andrewpollard5958 Yes SRV on guitar. Not sure how much Steve was into this track and the Bowie scene (although Bowie helped to promote SRV).
Yeah made it look like he was playing it instead of SRV.
Did you know Stevie ray Vaughn actually sued Bowie for pretending to play the solo in the song. As he couldn’t be in the video because he was on tour and didn’t appreciate Bowie acting like he was the actual guitarist on the track. Even so both legends dearly missed
Who else is jamming to this timeless bop while stuck in quarantine?
Pretty much
yep
Everybody
I'm listening whilst on my gym 💪
Ghala . Me! I’m listening to this song ! It makes quarantine tolerable today!
This video was a plea for the rights of Aboriginal Australians. The red shoes represent the Western way of life that the girl wears for a while, then rejects and returns to her own culture. Great music video, amazing song with Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar. ❤
Thank you was wondering wondering where it was set.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I had no idea
David Bowie always had his own style... And a great artist
I’m indigenous Australian and I love this song, and this song actually put racism rates lower towards indigenous people of Australia ❤️❤️❤️

Released on March 14th, 1983
David Bowie was a muse and pure genius, he is missed.
David Bowie's voice is like heaven. I appreciate that this video was made in Australia covering the issues of racism and oppression against the aboriginal people's. David Bowie is a true legend in his own right!
And when I watched this video in 1983, I thought that this video was recorded in the USA and was about American indian tribes, and a few years later discovered, that was recorded in Australia and was about the poor aboriginals... really the bad guys were Australians and not the Americans, poor aboriginals oppressed like the American Indians!🤔🤔
@Peter Raja Morgan Very well!!!😊😊😊😊
Peter Raja Morgan exactly what have the government done in the last 10 years to help indigenous people? Oh that's right, we had a prime minister that called their lives a 'lifestyle choice' and have reduced or taken away funding to help aboriginals. You can be both proud of your country and acknowledge that it needs to do better.
@Peter Raja Morgannot really. What's reported in the MSM outlets especially ones owned by Fox News and in the history books does not reflect accurately how badly our government has and still continues to treat the Aboriginal people. The standard response by the government and general public is to "get over it".

I accidentally saw SRV in Louisville literally just before he was killed (late '89 or '90). I had zero interest in either him or "The Blues" as a snotty 19 yr old skater punk kid from SoCal, but fortunately I had an older & much wiser friend who had a friend with xtra tix, so I said "whatever", because of course I did 😂, & went.
I don't use the phrase "I was humbled" lightly or as hyperbole. We were RIDICULOUSLY front & center (maybe 3 rows back? No more than 5), & just **seeing** him play was every bit (if not more, to my uninitiated ears) as mesmerizing as hearing him play. He was 1 of a kind, fersure. I don't think I said 3 words after the show, I just looked like ----> 😳 lol...& then I didn't shut up about it until, well ever, apparently. 😁 RIP King
Interesting that both srv and nile rodgers were playing on this track
apparently when SRV first saw this clip, he was incredibly pissed, because it looks like bowie is playing his solo

My mom would play this album when I was little starting around 5yrs old.... and of course older. We would dance all over the living room, those are some of my happiest moments!

Great. You should check Queen too.
bad idea. no seariously Bowie in those tights. you may never sleep well again.
that was me like 6 months ago dude
I did that when I was 14 one of the best things I did at that age
The legendary Stevie Ray Vaughn played lead guitar on this track. RIP SRV and Bowie!!!
Vaughan even
AMEN, brother!
The legendary Niles Rodgers composed and arranged all this, and the demo with him on guitar is by far superior to this.
SRV left us was too soon. A true master.. Bowie was outstanding. Check out his mural in Hoboken, NJ.
SRV is the reason I revisited this song.
RIP MR. BOWIE. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING JOY TO THE WORLD.
"I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.
My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.
I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.
O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.
Free my soul.
That we might Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious."

Actually, I find it insulting that he played it like it was him doing the solo instead of Stevie Ray. He treated Stevie like shit and Bowie was the one who insisted Stevie play on the song. I wish in retrospect, Stevie would have told Bowie to stick it!!!

He died at 35???
@Melissa Bonenge Yes I was a young girl like 6 or so and I faintly remember he died in a helicopter crash. My brother has just been born, and my mom made a big deal about how SRV was her age.
@@notimportant1006 Yes, in a helicopter crash after a gig. Like Buddy Holly, he took the last seat on a flight he wasn't supposed to be on. Eric Clapton should've been on that flight. He had a dream the night before that he saw himself at his funeral. There will never be another like him.
@@Steelers2116 such a strange coincidence...not even just about the vision but about the fact Eric clapton was supposed to be on the flight! Kinda similar to buddy Holly's situation 🤔...after a gig too. Crazy how many older artists died of air malfunctions
For those who don’t know who’s the guitar player,it’s Stevie ray Vaughan
Yep. And Stevie was PISSED David pretended to play the guitar at the end of this video! He was quoted as saying, "That mf'er shouldn’t be pretending to be playing s**t he wasn’t playing!"
A Legend...and thats Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar too ;)....as well as China Girl
*A message to the future* *generations: Don't let*

I’m ashamed to admit that I never listened to David Bowie until this song played on the 80s playlist at work just recently. What an amazing song! Quickly added it to my playlist.
Welcome to david bowie then !
I come here today for the same reason!
Welcome to the wonderful beautiful music of the 80s! 🎶🎧🎶🎧
No need to be ashamed, better late than never. I'm discovering artists all the time, many before I was born that are excellent, Django Reinhardt one such artist. A mate of mine got me onto Jimmy Reed back in the 90s'. I finally caught on to the 'Band' in the late 90's after seeing and being floored watching the 'Last Waltz' concert DVD. It goes on like that. One good thing about music being so crappy today is that you can seek out great music from decades long gone.
Probably his only decent song, you didn't miss much.
A nearly 40-year-old classic and still sounds as great as it did in the early-to-mid 80s. Bowie was one cool dude, a true original. Well done, Mr Bowie. You really made the grade.

My father and I had an emotionally stifled relationship but connected in depth through music, my dad took me to see Bowie in 1987, I was way to little not only to have remembered it but also to appreciate it, we saw him again on the reality tour in Singapore 2003. Both Bowie and my dad are deceased now so those are memories seared into the embers of my mind’s eye 🤗
That's a great memory 💘

your dad told me you were a rotten kid, never listened, got bad grades and caused trouble. Hopefully you changed for the better.
I think it was 1987 when I saw him LIVE in Chicago !!!

David Bowie, Nile Rodgers and Stevie Ray Vaughn. What an incredible collaboration. They should have formed a band, would have been one of the greatest bands in history.
Bowie screwed him and Double Trouble and Stevie quit his tour before it started..
@@lifeisacarnival1359 how did he do that?
@@DJDanceClassic There are actually two different versions of what happened in the great book "Texas Flood". In one version, SRV quit; in the other, Bowie fired him. Either could be true; Stevie didn't take a lot of crap from people, and Bowie could be a prima donna asshole.
SRV, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon all said that once Bowie decided he wanted SRV to play on his upcoming album and Stevie agreed , Bowie immediately asked him to join the tour as Bowie's guitarist.
As part of Stevie being in the tour band, Double Trouble would open a select number of shows. Of course, nothing was ever signed to confirm that, and trusting Bowie, Stevie went ahead and began rehearsals with the tour band.
As the start date for the tour got closer, Layton and Shannon said they received no specific tour dates for them to open for Bowie, and Bowie's people would not return phone calls. Layton and Shannon finally realized it wasn't going to happen.
At some point, Stevie was also told that he was not going to be allowed to mention Double Trouble or his own music in interviews before or during the tour. Fed up, Stevie said he quit the tour as the band was about to board the bus for their first flight; Bowie's camp continued to say he was fired, for what they don't specify. Stevie showed up and played at all album sessions and tour rehearsals.
Stevie is quoted as saying he never intended to be no more than a sideman for Bowie, and that he had an album about to be released to promote on his own. Apparently, he expected that when Double Trouble opened for Bowie, they'd play songs from the album to promote it.
Double Trouble's first album was released shortly before the Bowie tour started, and the band launched a massive tour of their own to promote it. The rest is history.
Thanks. I belive the SRV story
@@DJDanceClassic So do I. S And I highly recommend that book. One of the co-authors wrote the great Allman Bros. book "One Way Out" and the book is packed with interviews from friends and fellow musicians who knew SRV well.
Love David Bowie. Legendary even to this day
Legend ❤🎉
There's just something that makes you feel so nostalgic about David Bowie's music, even if you weren't alive during the time it was first released...
MY Dad genuinely had all his albums growing up, so his music was part of the background of life to me. He's the Hercules Mozart of our time.
Nostalgic indeed!!
Luckily I was alive when David Bowie was around I was in my twenties when he was at his prime and to this day I still listen to his music One of my favorites He is timeless
Oh I was alive for sure. This song would come on in the club (decades ago) and we would jump up and dance our way to the dance floor. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Sundays were for recuperating. 😂
Totally Agree ... Bowie Fans are ace .. Fantastic ... I love doing his covers on YT ... such a great artist ... its great to connect with his genius
In 1997, I was in the middle of Costa Rica far from any tourist traveled paths & and while we were having lunch in a teeny little diner in a jungle clearing, this song was playing. It's hard to paint the picture of the situation, but at the time it was amazing ~
WOW!
perfect 'Picasso'.been there and you just took me back
awesome! around what city/jungle? I studied in heredia and samara in 2011. I picture the scenery of volcano arenal as I read your post. I miss it. pura vida
Did you meet any Italians by chance?
@@jarrettthomas4865 Between Telire and Dikoguicha (Central C.R.)
He was an Artist with capital A.
such a great song. Rest in Peace David Bowie you were a great singer and an even finer actor!
RIP David Bowie. A true legend!
Up all night working on that one
Absolute legend never see the likes of him again RIP david Marty fennemore.
also rip Stevie Ray Vaughan who did the guitar solo at the end
Maybe he just went back to his home planet..? The guy never seemed to age , had a style no one on earth had ever heard or seen, and Literally outed himself to be a spaceman .. just saying
RIP David Bowie. A true legend!
40 years later and this song grabs me and takes me into the magic world of music. Thank you, David, for the songs and stories that you gave us.
One of the greatest music clips off all time on many levels, primarily giving aboriginal Australians a deserved spotlight, and secondly - it's Bowie.
My late step father was a muso, and proclaimed in the early eighties that D B was way....way...ahead of his times. I agreed then, and I can now see why, ...so much of his music was esoteric, meaningful...etcetra..many levels
You can thank Nile Rogers for this one too
Perché?
The song is about child sacrifice ... The childs blood dripping on their feet to create red shoes... now does it still resonate with you?
‘83. Great year. Being 40 myself, I feel a connection with this masterpiece and brilliant musician ☮️
Timeless masterpiece.
It's unbelievable that such masterpiece has only 8 million views.
Should have millions!!! Great song and forever be 😊
Not a masterpiece.
No, there was an original uploaded here for years by EMI Music that had 87 million views.
@@Vomrom a fucking masterpiece
masterpiece? Plain pop song
My parrot goes crazy when he hears this song!😂😂
iirante that bird, main one 👍💞
I think we all nod Our heads to this .Ure parrot got the beat lol great
One of the best song ever made !
Happy Friday lets dance
It's funny that when this album came out critics accused Bowie of selling out. The man knew good music and was never afraid to experiment. A true musical icon. All of his songs are timeless!
If the critics accuse you of selling out, you know you've done good.
@Trista Fravel I'm a goldne oldie....been a fan since the early 70s ....
❤
He was way ahead of its time..
This album does suck though, comparing to his previous and later work. This is my least favourite Bowie song.
This was filmed in the town of Carinda, Australia in it’s only pub. The population was 158. The main characters are the Aboriginal people of Australia. They were treated different than the white Australians and lived outside the city limits.... why do you think the girl stomped those red shoes 🤔 .....this world needs lots of prayer.
I always struggled to understand the purpose behind the music video.
Look for internet red shoe club. This is much more than you guys know! Pedophilia and the red shoe club. Oh, did I say that out loud???
@@RS-gi9hu If you didn’t understand the meaning of this video
Then you didn’t want to understand
Pray into one hand and shit into the other, see which one fills up first ahahaha
Just saying, the world needs a fuck of a lot more than prayers. I just think this is an especially ironic comment considering the good-ol' "Christian values" behind some of the more silent genocides on the planet(including what happened in Australia). The same sort of thing happened in the Americas, btw. What part wasn't perpetrated directly by the church was allowed/supported by its members. But yeah, let's pray on it-- irony aside, that's much easier than actually doing anything.
@@MrRock1878 I blame the media and those hiding the truth. If you're Australian, the ignorance is inexcusable. Imagine my surprise as an 11yr old in the 90's in the UK when my dad told me Neighbours and Home & Away isn't an accurate representation of Australia, because neither show had not even one Native Indigenous Australian person in them
Heard of his passing on
10.1.16. Very sad news. I have been a big fan since buying the Ziggy Stardust LP in 1972. The 'to be played at maximum volume' message on the back cover was the height of rebellion to a 15 year old kid. Thanks for all the pleasure you give us. RIP
He still lives through this song and video in a moment in time captured for many to experience even if you are just discovering this song for the first time.
First Bowie song I loved as a kid!
Same here
Same!
Same
Agreed .........thanks to Video
The same, first concert 1990
Quite possibly David Bowie's greatest song. The 1980's were awesome for great music.
One of the Greatest Videos Ever.
The 80's were a special time, not duplicated. When MTV was MTV, before the Corporate Conglomerates took it over for Global Social Programming.
Quicksand 1971
It takes you back to when Mtv actually played music.
Fame
I miss his brilliance 🌟❤. What a legacy😘 ♾️
David Bowie was a musical genius
