BOWIE, QUEEN - UNDER PRESSURE

Besides having one of the smoothest basslines (which Vanilla Ice Stole)
this song is one of my favorite Collab songs
Queen and David Bowie, this song blew my mind the first time i heard it
as far as collab songs go
, this is probably one of the top in my own opinion
anybody agree

yes indeedy - and although nobody can ever hold a match to freddie's vocals on that recording, bowie's bassist gail ann dorsey does one hell of a job singing his part when bowie performs the song on tour. nod

Classic. It only gets better with time.

By the bye, I'm very fond of Bowie's verision with Annie Lennox at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in '92.

Pretty much every version I've heard of it is remarkable.

At the show I was at, after they did Under Pressure, the crowd went wild. Bowie kinda gestured upwards and said, "Hear that, Fred? They liked it."

I absolutely love that song
I was humming it at work and a guy I work with
started singing "Ice ice baby.."

He promptly got pimp slapped, shut down and schooled by me razz
