STARMAN - David Bowie COVER by The Chip Shop Boys - Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London

[@florantemanuel5000]

Heard this song way back in the 70s and never really thought much of it. I did recall my Dad and I heard this song back then and we thought it was cool (from a then 7 y/o's perspective). My Dad died 2 weeks ago.. On the plane ride home I was watching The Martian. This song came up and brought back memories.... Come to find out it was by Bowie. When i arrived home (24hrs later), I played the song on YT. In my humble opinion... Bowie's version didn't have the same effect on me as you guys did. Here I am, a grown man sobbing like a 7 y/o. Your cover gave me my much needed closure. RIP David Bowie.. RIP Dad.... Thank you for the cover.

Florante Manuel, this is an amazing story that bought a proud tear to my eye. We are all sending our love to you ❣️. Thank you for the review and the fantastic comments.

Nice, just herd this on my mums radio station today, thought I'd check out a cover

[@glennrothkirch6627]

May he rest in peace and only good memories for you. :)

[@andrewjohnstone963]

No the original is way better than this decent effort the problem with this version apart from the orchestration is the voice is good but too X factor i was 11 when bowie released this and it blew my generations mind but it is a lovely tribute but ive heard this type of voice too often these days it has for me no singularity sorry but im just being honest

[@danielcostacruz1]

From a time I thought the world could only get better. And here we are living a distopic present. Love from Brazil... I can only hope things change for the better...

All the girls in the group are very beautiful.

[@damo128]

So was the blonde one in the black top at the end. A very beautiful face indeed

[@anniee6648]

This needs way more views

[@nick9191]

agreed

[@russm9495]

Absolutely agree!!...I have watched this video at least 230 times..if that counts!!!

[@entspannter_hase]

I am from Germany and one of the poor generation who first heard of Bowie when he died. I didn't look up his music though, and so it wasn't until the SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch this year with all it's Bowie references that I actually discovered his music. As a music enthousiast, I absolutely love his compositions. They are one of the greatest things that could happen to mankind. I absolutely love your cover, you nailed it.

[@ChipShopBoysOfficial]

Fickachu Donnercock Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We’re so glad you found us and our video. Hope you can enjoy many more and you get to see our live show one day; here in the UK or in Germany!

[@gandolphgander7297]

Such a fresh cover of classic very, very beloved song by some old and young dudes

[@soyunakk4128]

Hello! My name is Helena, I am 11 years old and I am from Argentina. I wanted to tell you that this cover is the best I have found ❤️

[@ChipShopBoysOfficial]

Hi Helena. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice comment. We had lots of fun recording this and it’s lovely to hear positive comments like yours. We try hard to make each song sound as good as possible, but with this one it felt really special. We’re glad you got to hear it all the way in Argentina. Take care. X

[@finnkyourface8958]

Agree it’s a great cover if you want another great cover please check out Josh Jebamony’s. He covers this song and many of my other favorites

[@ayurveg]

Hi Soy, a young singer like you does the best in studying David Bowie. My favourite was Cygent Committee kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXywhJqQpJ6WbtU, Which song do you like most of all?

[@markreddington3818]

As a huge Bowie fan I'd like to say that's a great arrangement enjoyed it

[@ChipShopBoysOfficial]

mark reddington Huge thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 😜

[@boeboe8802]

One of the greatest david bowie cover song

[@ChipShopBoysOfficial]

Thanks Hary

[@drugfwpmed]

Totally agree as I check out the various covers.

[@Marshiethemarshmallow]

I’m so glad young people today are still enjoying these songs like me. Me and my Parents weren’t around when this came out but my Mom heard it one day and ended up enjoying it. In turn, so did I even though I’m an early 2000s kid, and I used to be embarrassed that I liked these songs and thought I would be made fun of for liking this music. For years none of my friends knew I listened to this. I have decided to not hide this part of myself anymore. They will find out soon. 🙂 I enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@goodeyepa]

love his voice, its like a kind voice

[@ChipShopBoysOfficial]

jhayat azizi kind of you to say 🥰

[@tilikum2110]

Paige Mona beautiful. Thank you for the comment ❣️

[@robertperez9024]

Great Cover! Proof that it really takes a small orchestra to do justice to the 4-man original Spiders from Mars band. Great job!

[@tobiasbayer9023]

Best version of this song, I love it

[@rustyshackelford4503]

Love hearing well produced Bowie covers. He was such a phenomenal songwriter but the tone junkie in me always felt his material wasn’t fully realized like it deserved due to the limitations of the time. This is just beautiful. Love it

[@danielalml8317]

OMG! I think that this is incredible. I like so so much!!! I don't know why Fonsi is a super star and you not. This nice, great, incredible, amazing and I don't know what more. Thank you for the amazing cover. I love it
