The year is 1973. The singers are David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull. The song is "I Got You, Babe". Try to imagine that. Oh, wait, you don't have to!
I'm still not sure if this is real or if I'm dreaming it. I mean, this is like something I would dream while napping after scarfing down a pizza with too many hot peppers on it.
Since I first found out that there was a video for this song -- like, twenty years ago -- I've wanted to see it. Now, thanks to YouTube, I have. And you can, too. :)
Housemate Chris has this on videotape, complete with a Danish TV host's introduction. This is the first time I've seen it uninterupted.
This is an early version of Anarchy In The U.K. from 1976. I love the guitar sound on this version, with the distortion complimented by the phase shifter. A very cutting-edge sound for the late-'70s. Enjoy! :)
I wonder if anybody thought: "Are these kids a threat to the Bay City Rollers?"
