Bowie has written some strange songs before and this one is one of the more unique ones. I

It is actually my favorite song by David, but I was wondering if anyone else likes this song and/or knows the inspiration for it?

Me likes! Me loves, in fact! The inspiration behind it was propably that white powder that he used to take back then. His vocals are just genius on this.

I love it. Have u heard the version of David Live? It's incredible

One of my absolute favourites. The music! The lyrics:

I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up

Diamond Dogs is my second favourite album from Bowie and that suite is the reason why...

i'm a big bowie fan and i love that song. my buddy joan as policewoman actually covered it for a b-side, recently. her version keeps all the sexy and leaves out most of the menace.

The song has very haunting vocals. It is so dark and sexual in its own way that it stnads out in Bowie's catalogue (and that says alot).

What stands out is just two or so years before, he was the glam rock king. He just glided so easily from genre to genre.
