David Bowie played Murrayfield in Edinburgh in 1983 but my parents couldn't afford to go see him but we lived in a tower block in the city and could hear the concert and i remember my mum and dad dancing with me to this on the balcony of our flat. I was only 4 but it's etched on my memory forever ❤❤

@mangasky7 "Bowie first started to distance himself from the record in 1987 when he claimed Let's Dance was more Rodgers' vision than his, which the producer has since refuted. A full decade later, Bowie revealed the album's accompanying tour confirmed one of his biggest fears: "I was something I never wanted to be. I was a well-accepted artist. I had started appealing to people who bought Phil Collins albums." Even more worryingly, Bowie acknowledged he'd stopped caring about his audience - which perhaps explains the existence of 1984 follow-up Tonight, a surprisingly throwaway record which he'd eventually concede was the nadir of his career. "I really shouldn't have even bothered going into the studio to record it," he told Interview in 1995, also adding that he'd pandered to the success of Let's Dance and subsequently "put a box around" himself. Reeves Gabrels, guitarist in the Tin Machine group Bowie put together to help restore his creative integrity, could vouch for such despondency, telling Uncut, "[David Bowie] felt he had lost his way after Let's Dance. He didn't like where he was going and wanted to change it, so Tin Machine fell on that grenade." " From article "Let's Dance' At 40: How David Bowie's Biggest Album Became His Most Conflicted" by Jon O'brien.

@@troilusand Look up "David Bowie 1983 Dallas rehearsals" on KZbin. There were disagreements between management for Bowie & SRV on how to proceed, but the end result was Stevie went on to tour in support of his own debut album rather than Bowie's album. Guitar World did did a good piece on it all: "SRV was slated to hit the road with Bowie to promote Let’s Dance in May 1983 - but Texas Flood was about to come out. The Bowie tour would keep him on the road for a year, keeping him from promoting his own album. Bowie’s management decided to let Vaughan open select dates on the tour. That sounded fine to SRV. But shortly before the tour began, Bowie’s management reneged. Not only would they not allow Double Trouble to open for Bowie, but Vaughan couldn’t give interviews about his album while on tour for Bowie. SRV never got to decide whether or not to stay with Bowie. Chesley Millikin, his manager, did it for him. Moments before Vaughan boarded Bowie’s bus, the tour manager pulled his gear and bags off the vehicle. The bus took off without him, leaving SRV on the sidewalk with no idea what to do next.''

Bowie's lyrics are overlooked (or not understood) by so many people, I appreciate you guys recognizing that part of his talent. A quick personal story...I loved his "Cat People" for years before ever seeing the movie he wrote it for. Never quite got the meaning of the lyrics. Then I saw the film. OMG! The film is all from the view of the girl/cat. What did Bowie do in his lyrics? He writes from the point of view of her brother/cat who wants them to avoid killing by having an incestuous relationship. The film (& audience) sees him as the villain, yet Bowie saw him as a tragic figure in his lyrics. For those who have seen the film...listen to the song from that "angle".

Because it didn't fit the criteria for commercial radio. Three minutes and done. Need your obnoxious DJ blabbing through the intro and ending. Mindless babbling from local car dealerships, etc, etc. Only now decades later are we able to find alternatives through streaming.

This song rocks! Saw him sing this at the Sound + Vison concert in 1990 and just saw Nile Rodgers perform this last year at his concert, touring with Duran Duran. Both performances were amazing!

This song absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it around 13 or 14 years of age, I'd never heard a song with that sort of rhythm before. A or A+, it would be the best song by far of most artist's careers but he has at least 10 songs I'd put ahead

I went to see Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour venue (launching this song in his new album) at Longchamps Race Course in Paris in 1982. As it was standing rather than seats, it was possible to move to the stage to praise the legend. He also did his earlier stuff ... The whole trip, including the bus from London, one night in an Airport Hotel, entrance and a free t-shirt came to around $90 ... Got back exhausted but with a glow of contentment. His stage presence was extraordinary!

I really have to thank you, fellas, for this one. I graduated HS in '83 and this song was on heavy rotation, big time. I never heard this version before though, only the radio edit which mirrored the music video. I'm so glad you chose this version. I never would have heard it otherwise. It has so much more sauce than the 4 minute cut. This is definitely the one going on the playlist. 🔥💃🕺🔥 Great analysis as well. ✌

I don't know how you can make a better 80's song. Maybe you can tie it, but I don't think you can beat it. This is one of those songs that, on first listen, you recognize it as being iconic in greatness. One hearing, and you won't forget the song for life. That's beyond S tier.
