Perhaps the best "sequel" song in pop music history.

Of course, every time I see it now, I think about Flight of the Conchords.

Then Peter Schilling came along and crapped all over the saga.

Thanks subby. I didn't know there was a video for that song, though I guess I should have suspected.

I wonder if Bowie will ever do another Major Tom song?

IIRC it was the most expensive video ever made at the time. Cost like 500,000 dollars for that crappy solarization effect.

Scary Monsters is such a great album.

best. video. ever.


I don't think it was the "solarization" effect that cost money but rather all the sets they used.

Apparently, Steve Strange was one of the three background actors done up in the pseudo-ecclesiastical garb.

i. love. this. song.

bowie is, without doubt, the coolest mf'er to ever live.

Seconded.
