Lyrics
Oh, Little China Girl
Oh, Little China Girl
I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning wheres my little China Girl?
I hear hearts beating loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down
I'm feeling tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My little china girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, Just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby, Just you shut your mouth
She says ... shhhhhhh
She says
She says
Oh, Little China Girl[x4]
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.

[@serdownofhousebad1127]

@@nagilumsnangilima Geeling Ng was a friend to Bowie, and she has nothing but good things to say about him. She's also a kiwi, so she likely went through racial prejudice in the past while growing up in a colonized nation (NZ can be pretty racist towards anyone who isn't British in some circles). Idk who Yuri even is, but I was laughing at Bowie's child like smile of innocence right after he pulled that move on his friend

[@Tedisntakidanymore]

The actress here, Geeling Ng, actually became Bowie's GF. By all accounts, Bowie was smitten with little Geeling. We're talking "thunderbolt." So, the tender expressions you see here were apparently genuine. And when they were done filming this video, they weren't done as a couple either. Bowie took Geeling on his Serious Moonlight world tour. She was a Bowie fan before she was chosen for this role. Can you imagine how thrilling this must have been for her? Like a dream come true.

[@steffischander8289]

@Anderson Cooper I did not know that. I read now that he had sex with underage groupies, but this was consensual sex, not rape. Of course, I realize that consensual sex with minors does not exist - for a good reason! Nevertheless, the case is different for me when a 40 year old man has sex with a child. Bowie was 26 when he slept with 14-year-old Lori Maddox, who looked and dressed much more mature. - He was charged with rape in the 1980s but found innocent. I do not want to defend him, he himself admitted that he was not always a good person in his life, especially when he was addicted to cocaine. Unlike Klaus Kinski I will not lose my admiration for him. He was an amazing artist and musican. (And he was and I guess will stay an attractive man to me.) - Sorry, if my english isn't to good.

[@cassandramartinez3068]

[@WhayYay]

Steffi Schander I don’t want to defend him but well she was dressed mature and at least he’s not 40 and it was consensual but I’m not saying consensual means okay but I’m just saying it’s consensual Dude just say you’re making an exception for him, you obviously are let’s just be honest that you’re willing to excuse his bad actions because of the positive contributions he made to society, no reason to skirt around and pretend that you actually care about rape.

Agreed one of my favourites too. You should check out the original by Iggy Pop. Naturally is a far more raw version but I love it. He wrote this and David covered it. Think Bowie wanted to help him out with some royalties. In the original version when in the song she says “baby just you shut your mouth” it’s in fact “Jimmy just you shut your mouth”. Because of course Iggys real name is James. Sounds so adorable. :)

I read where David encountered the girlk from this video, some 20 years after making the video, and he recognized and remembered her by name. Says a shit-ton about the kind of guy David was. The whole world lost, when we lost him.

Well, they did date for a while around the filming of this video, so I would expect him to recognize her.

Her name is Geeling NG and she is an ethnic Chinese Kiwi. She runs a Chinese restaurant in Auckland. After Bowie died she gave an interview to the world’s media, in which she confirmed how she and Bowie met before this video was made - and how they were most definitely in a relationship. They were in love. But like so often, all good things come to an end.

This song absolutely hammers me. One of many songs I have to listen to through studio quality headphones. Love the bass groove around 1:51. Love the desperation of the vocals and guitar at 2:20 and who can escape the sweet guitar solo at 3:30. This song is magic!

[@maikerugo]

I'm not as well-versed with Bowie as I could be, but if there were ever a version with an extended guitar solo at the end that would simply be fantastic! I mean there's something between bassline and guitar that just builds a really great bit of dramatic tension. Vaughn's guitar just seems to call out with a kind of heartache and it feels like he's just getting warmed up by the time the song fades out.

[@bigbopper6434]

Fun fact: Stevie Ray Vaughan played guitar on this entire album. Bowie had asked him to go on tour with him to promote the album, but Stevie said, “thanks man, but I got this little band out of Texas, and we’re going to try this record thing out.”

Saw him in '76 live. Sounded great. It seemed he cut the show short and it had a long intermission featuring avant garde film Un Chien Andalou, and the stadium was half full at best.

My mom saw all the greats in the 60’s including the Beatles Doors and Stones. Springsteen pre born to run etc.... To this day she says Bowie at the Boston garden in the early 70’ was the best show she ever saw. He landed on the stage in a fog shrouded flying egg to open the show. I’m thinking some psychedelics were involved.

Bowie was his own Genre🤷🏼‍♀️He got such clear visions that just came out of the cosmos catapulting him into such diverse tunes like this one. Each of his projects were so unique and musically/lyrically rhythmically perfect, so suited to the times they were written for. I love how unique his voice was. He had a haunting quality to it and I think he was a master lyricist. He was also a great dresser he wore very cool and sometimes traditional; suit skinny tie and wool overcoat for example. He definitely marched to the beat of his own drum.

[@TheMickaelD]

I explained exactly this to a friend the other day 😄

[@milkoberben2963]

The original beach scene was much hotter - it also featured shots of their butts and hints of their private parts and a full view of her breasts. That version was regularly aired in my country in 1983, so I still remember it. This is the toned down version - the edit was a result of public criticism in some countries, especially the USA, where Bowie lived at the time.
