Last night/early AM when I couldn't sleep I pictured this video and forgot some of the lyrics. It drove me crazy until I googled them and the video (the one on the top), sang along and was finally able to resume my sleeping. HBO showed a Bowie special on Jan. 8. It was very good and it described the making of this video.
