    And here I thought David Bowie was actually doing his voice in these videos - not only because it's so spot on, but because he was exactly the kind of guy who would love to take the piss out of himself in this very clever and funny way.

      I knew it wouldn't be because it just wasn't practical to get the whole band to perform in his shoes. A bit like an episode of Blake 7 where they plan on invading an alien home world all episode but you know it's not going to happen because the BBC couldn't afford the sets.
