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.

If I've got it right, ..David's musicians here 0:14 , referred to as "The Goon Squad", 1:02 👹 are Carlos Alomar (guitar), George Murray (bass), Dennis Davis (drums), and G.E. Smith (guitar), who didn't actually play on this album... Robert Fripp (King Crimson) actually played the cool lead 🎸 parts on the album, 1980's "Scary Monsters(..and Super Creeps)". 😎 ... # D.A.R. Band

It is funny how Bowie talk about fashion while he looks half asleep

Beginning of The New Yorker Bowie phase which would be him til his untimely death.AT that time it was the height of the fashion world (at least the country). And it was becoming rather stale. By 80 the glam of Studio 54, and Fire Island parties became boring and drab. Meanwhile Antifashion chic became the rage in areas like the Bowery.

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.

@@BK-yb3qd I don't think Bowie was that badly down on the New Romantics: he hired several of them to appear in the "Ashes to Ashes" video. (The New Romantics were in turn infatuated with Bowie, it seems.) The song is really (at least partly) about something whose name sounds like 'fashion', but isn't...

I think he's meant to look strung out not simply tired. In the first segment he and the bass player (see the blinking at 0:25) both do things which suggest that they're on cocaine.

I wish that he was still around today. May his legacy continue to live on. This is one of my all-time favorites.

Bowie's haircut in this actually aged pretty well, impressive considering how distinctive fashion was at the time

Bowie is a BABE here, I'm sorry, I'm just pointing out the coked up obvious. And I love it.
