David Bowie - Jazzin' For Blue Jean

[@NoelArtMedia]

Bowie won a Grammy for this short film. I love the in jokes and surreal touches. When Bowie committed to a project, the result was always quality.

[@bobhebel4116]

How very true. Bowie is amazing here, as just about always. It also helps that the project was directed by Julien Temple, the prolific music video director for the Sex Pistols, Judas Priest, Culture Club and so many other prominent artists.

Most underrated video of all time. RIP. :(

[@Levine2001]

+Kimberly Anderson Agreed! I was always astonished that this never seem to catch fire the way that say Michael Jackson's long-form Thriller video did. Though the short (song only) version of this video got some play in the day, this long version was quickly and unjustifiably forgotten. The performance was outstanding here. Showcases everything there is to love about Bowie - the acting, the music, the charm, the fashion. All in one showcase.

[@kimberlyandersonamft3031]

All of that. Yep.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

+Levine2001 Yep, I always felt David was underrated as an actor--just look at The Prestige. If I hadn't known going in that this was David Bowie playing Tesla, I wouldn't have recognized him--he disappeared into the role that perfectly. Then there was that run onstage as The Elephant Man (which, unfortunately, was never completely recorded), and this--where he's so convincing both as the rock star who's a parody of himself, and the awkward everyman. If he'd chosen to focus on acting and not singing, we might be mourning Sir David Bowie of the Royal Shakespeare Company, every bit as respected as Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.

[@OzoneoceanMJM]

+Jennifer Schillig I definitely did not think much of his role in The Prestige. Here though he's brilliant, essentially playing himself. This is my favourite Bowie role.

[@akdlg9sjjslk8]

Holy crap this is amazing. I've seen long storytelling music videos before, but to see a pioneering one from the great David Bowie makes you see how he really had an impact in the music industry. He was so innovative! I loved both his characters. The awkward David was such a sweetheart, and Screaming Lord Byron was dazzling (but you also had a soft spot for him since you could see how troubled he was offstage). Then we had awkward David breaking the fourth wall and that bit just made me laugh. Bowie is a treasure.

[@kaed_f]

Not trying to argue but while Bowie did a lot of innovative shit I fail to see why this is one of them. This isn't even a longform music video, it's literally a short film with a extended music sequence that was later edited out to be used as a music video. This was also like '84 when Michael Nesmith did it 5 years before and did it bigger/better with his elephant video album.... ...he also kinda invented MTV but since the media tells everyone The Monkeees are a joke stuft like that gets ignored
