The band opened up a lot of David Bowie's concerts before and after he got big. One day they told Bowie that they were going to call it quits because they just weren't making enough money to justify touring. So Bowie sat down and wrote this song for them in like 10-15 minutes and just gave it to them for free and sang backing vocals as well. It was such a huge hit that the band was able to keep playing until they wanted to retire. This is just one example of what an insane talent and great person Bowie was.

[@greygreen5610]

he actually wrote it for himself, for an album and gave it to them

Brilliant song. David Bowie wrote this but Ian Hunter really brought it to life. It is both real hard and real fun to be young! There was a new generation bringing the news...oh well. Who hasn't wanted to do this for years?

[@immoralreplicant1332]

In the early 70s my Dad ran a greasy spoon cafe catering to long distance truck drivers amongst others. Like most such places at the time it had a jukebox. My first job was washing dishes in his kitchen on Saturday mornings. I was 8 years old. This song was played endlessly most days & every time I hear it, it brings back memories of that long forgotten world. Also, every time I see the video I remind myself that those young boys & girls in the street scenes are now either getting ready to collect their pensions or already have done. Then I remember I'm only 9 years away from collecting mine !! When it came time to empty the jukebox to change the records out for new ones, I got the guy who came to do it to give me this one.They were usually happy to do so, old records that were no longer hits were no use to them. I still have it. 51 years later. It's the oldest possession I have. Music is memories, but maybe not so much anymore? I suspect if it was today I'd have deleted the download to make room on my phone, or moved it out of the streaming playlist. Times change.

[@cindiaker5778]

I am 58 years old, and music really does carry so much of my memories...so intertwined together. I have always loved music so much. Even now, hearing an old song just transports m back to the time in my life that I first listened to it, especially the teen years. So many great songs were popular in the 70's and I spent so much time at the skating rink and recording cassettes on my old boom box....lol. I remember listening each week to Casey Kasem's Top 40....oh, those were just the best days....and the best memories. Technology has changed everything so much for our youth growing up....and it seems sad to me...but I guess they never knew anything else so us old folks have to grieve all they missed for them.

[@stephenbrough8132]

FOR A MINUTE I thought I thought you might be the person who ran the cafe where David Bowie and Marc Bolan used to meet up every day and kept giving demos, clothes and other stuff that would become memorabilia to the cafe owner ... An Ebayer I bought some memorabilia off, told me of her friend who ran that cafe and how she ended up with a suitcase full of treasure from Marc & David - but how she fell on hard times and sold the lot for £50 or thereabouts, before Ebay came along. Apparently, they used to ask her opinion on demo's. Would be interesting to hear that woman's story directly.

[@mdl3r1]

This group and this song in particular were such a product of it's time. It's dated as can be and yet it's sound still holds true as each generation comes through.

[@mikechiarelli6895]

This was a huge hit - on the radio all the time - David Bowie wrote it for them. Mitt the Hoople was a headline act for a few years in early seventies & Queen opened for them many times - hopple is mentioned in the Queen song Now I’m Here on their Sheer Heart Attack album. All the Young Dudes was performed by Bowie & Ian Hunter - lead singer on Hoople at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Awesome song.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

I remember being shocked when I finally saw the lyrics to this song written out and realized they were singing "All the young dudes carry the NEWS" - back in the day, I thought they were saying they carry the "LUDES" - as in Quaaludes, which were a popular drug in the '70s. (I still sing it the way I originally thought it was!) 😄

[@sporkfindus4777]

Mott the Hoople are from my county of Herefordshire. My dad was best man at one of the members' wedding back in the 70s. All the way from Memphis is another good one by the Hoople. Other notable acts from this county are The Pretenders, Thunderclap Newman, Albert Lee and Ellie Goulding. A guy called Dave Edmunds who was in Rockpile is from Monmouthshire, one of the neighbouring counties, and was a prolific producer of some big names back in the day, including my hero Jeff Beck who we have just tragically lost. I met Dave Edmunds in a pub years ago and the landlord persuaded us to jam together. My claim to fame and a proud moment was when he said "you're quite a good guitar player actually." That's about as good a compliment that you can get from an occasionally waspy 70s guitar virtuoso!

[@doreybain]

I saw them in concert back in the 1970s. Ian Hunter always wore sunglasses on stage. It was part of his persona. One time, the glasses fell off and the stage lights immediately went completely dark so he could retrieve them without surrendering his look. While he was on his hands and knees still feeling around for the glasses in the dark, the stage lights blasted back on exposing him. He let out a big curse, retrieved his glasses and looked miffed the rest of the concert.

[@LeftysLefty]

Brings me right back. I was a dude. The mid-70s were amazing Plse make sure this gets played at my funeral.

[@lawrenceschabell5740]

This song brings back some great memories from that time frame. Thanks David for a awesome song.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Lead Singer and Guitarist Ian Hunter, Guitarist Mick Ralphs (later of Bad Company) and Overend Watts on Bass, were the core of Mott The Hoople. Their first album had a few really cool tunes on it, like "Driving Sister (Rock and Roll)", "All The Way From Memphis", and a song that features a self-described "punch-up sequence" called, not surprisingly, "Violence". All very worthy of a listen.

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

sorry, but you are incorrect. You are thinking of some sort of compilation album. Mott had 4 albums before All the young Dudes, and the songs you mention were released after All the young dudes was released. Also Buffin the drummer and Verden Allen were instrumental in their early success.

[@Brandi6666]

This was the generational anthem for young dudes who took over the corners in the early 70s from the 1950s-60s Elvis - Beatles crowd . That is what the reference to the stones & beatles is about . They are saying we are the bowie generation .. Lex is right !

All my friends and I growing up in the '70s assumed this was *The Beatles.* That chorus being so reminiscent of, "Hey Jude", is what had us fooled. Last year I saw a list online called, "Top Songs Thought To Be The Beatles But Weren't", and this song was # 1, which didn't surprise me at all. Great, great song. ps~And Lex, even though the song is technically about Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, your interpretation was very good, and I bet shared by a lot of the people at the time.

[@traci4187]

Mott the Hoople, one of my favorite bands, growing up in the early/mid 70s. Lead singer Ian Hunter, great guy, salt of the earth. Mott did an anniversary tour of the US back a few years ago. I saw what was left of the band in a small venue in Boston. I had a chance to meet Ian Hunter afterwards. They were very fond of many of the places they played on tour in the US back in the day.

This song is from 'The Endless Party" that was the late 60's , early 70's. There was a feeling that our time as individuals and as the Human Race might end at any moment. At 18 years old Vietnam was this 2 years of Death and Insanity facing every boy. We grew up, with "Nuclear Drills" in grade school, 7-8 year old kids, crouched under our desks, waiting for the Nuclear Bombs to Fall. We partied Hard, believing everyday could be our last. We danced almost every night, drove our cars and rode our motorcycles to the limit. We wanted to squeeze every bit of Life from whatever time we had left and our Music reflected that

What a slice of the early 70's this was in the UK. I've no idea if it was big in the US, but it was massive in the UK. Played everywhere in summer 1972, I particularly remember it being blasted out at travelling fairs and the seaside amusement arcades. Reminds me of wearing Ben Sherman style shirts (cheap copies with penny round collars from Boyes in Grimsby, because we couldn't afford the real thing), green Levis Sta-Prest trousers, brown loafer shoes, with bright green socks. I really thought I was a "Young Dude", I wish I'd got a photograph of myself. That video they were watching reminded me of going to the football match with a Grimsby Town silk scarf tied round my wrist. I never tire of hearing that song.

I remember having breakfast with my dad the next morning and he asked me how the gig went last night. I told him how good Mott were but I said I’d just seen a band that were going to be massive. Two weeks later they made their first appearance on TV on Top of the Pops………..it was Queen singing Seven Seas of Rye.

[@nancystanton955]

My favorite band!! In my opinion their bass player Overend "Pete" Watts was one of the best. He filled just enough and didn't drown out the rest. Sadly he and Buffin the drummer are both gone now , Pete to cancer and Buffin to Parkinson's or dementia, I can't quite remember. Their lead guitarist, Mick Ralph's went on help form Bad Company, another great 70s band. To be honest the only one of the band I couldn't stand was Ian Hunter the lead singer (the guy with the shades). I saw them in New York in 1974 at the Uris Theater. Absolutely loved the concert! An interesting fact, their opening band at that show was... Queen! Yes, that Queen, Freddie Mercury Queen.

Very cool band. David Bowie loved them, and the singer is named Ian Hunter. He sang, “once bitten twice shy” originally. Great white covered it later. Back to David Bowie, did you know that he wrote this song and gave it to them? The guitar player from this band was later the guitar player for bad company. Lots of history with this band!!! By the way, I was the tour manager for bad company. “Cleveland rocks” was the theme song for the Drew Carey show and they wrote that too. You should check out their songs Sweet Jane, which was redone by Lou Reed, and ready for love, which was redone by Bad Company later.

Lou Reed wrote Sweet Jane and recorded it with the Velvet Underground in 69. It's on the VU's Loaded album. Back in the 90s Lou Reed's full, longer version of the song, as he intended it, was finally released on a reissue of Loaded.

This song was on every jukebox even up to the late eighties. Lots of memories listening to this in my local pub, whilst drinking underage!

This was an outake from the Ziggy Stardust album that Bowie gave to MTH. The Bowie version is available.
