I saw Labyrinth when I was 5 years old. That movie terrified me. :( But I do love his music.

my 2 favorite guys, bret and gemaine from flight of the conchords have an entire episode devoted to david bowie-it is hilarious. their song "bowies in space" covers several of bowie's more famous songs. you might be able to pull up their song video on you tube-some of their stuff in on there.

I love David Bowie's cameo on the show Extras and the song he makes up about Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais).

David Bowie: [sings] The little fat man who sold his soul...
Andy Millman: The little?
David Bowie: [sings] Little fat man who sold his dream...Chubby little loser...
David Bowie: [turns round and plays piano] Chubby little loser... National joke...
David Bowie: [stops singing] No, not chubby little loser...
David Bowie: [sings] Pathetic little fat man... No one's bloody laughing...
David Bowie: [sings] The clown that no one laughs at... They all just wish he'd die...
David Bowie: [sings] He's so depressed at being useless... The fat man takes his own life...
David Bowie: [stops singing] No, no
David Bowie: [sings] He's so depressed at being hated... Fatty takes his own life...
David Bowie: [stops singing] Fatty? Fatso?
Maggie Jacobs: Fatso, I like fatso
David Bowie: Yeah, let's go with fatso
David Bowie: [sings] Fatso take his own life... He blows his bloated face off
David Bowie: [stops singing] No
David Bowie: [sings] He blows his stupid brains out
Linda: But the twat'd probabably miss!
David Bowie: [stops singing] Yes, Linda, I like that!
Andy Millman: Yes, so do I. It's brilliant Linda.
David Bowie: [sings] He sold his soul for a shot at fame... Catchprase and wig and the jokes are lame...
David Bowie: [sings] He's got no style, he's got no grace... He's banal and facile... He's a fat waste of space...
David Bowie: [stops singing] Yeah, yeah. Everybody sing that last line. One, two, three...
David Bowie: [sings] He's banal and facile... He's a fat waste of space... See his pug-nosed face... pug, pug, pug, pug
David Bowie: [stops singing] Again!
David Bowie: [sings] See his pug-nose face... pug, pug, pug, pug. The little fat man with the pug-nosed face... Yeah! pug, pug, pug, pug. Little fat man... pug-nosed face... pug, pug, pug, pug...

Dear God I loved that movie as a kid.

There's a new bar in town called Bowie Feathers. It's above a live music venue and features a few pictures of Bowie so I'm assuming the bar is named after him. I was telling a coworker about the place and can you believe he's never heard of David Bowie?

I played him Changes, REbel Rebel and Under Pressure. The only song he recognized was the last and that's only because of Vanilla Ice...facepalm...

I love Bowie. I've grown up hearing his music but didn't really get into him until High School when I went through a little glam rock phase.... T-Rex, Lou Reed, Velvet Underground and Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. :cool:

One of my favorite Bowie songs "All The Young Dudes"
