Black Dug :

No mention of the phone at the end? Accident, the phone actually rang in the studio and you can hear the producers anger.

meatjuicejames :

Fun fact: Paul Anka is Jason Bateman's father-in-law.

Stevejonajones :

Bowie My Hero

Chairwoman of the Bored :

Am I the only one who thinks the songs sound nothing alike?

minimouthuk :

My funeral song

steamcat :

Mick Ronson done the arrangement and Rick Wakeman played piano

Ynohtna :

real bowie fans know he had many clunkers mixed in with his hits

King Mob :

sinatra was insanely overrated even among the low effort crooners of his time

Jjjjjjjjj :

Love Bowie but how can you compare Life on Mars to My Way. My Way is a classic. Life on Mars is ok.

Ejjog 🇬🇧 :

The Laughing Gnome is way better.

Andy Gall :

So this song is better than "My Way", ? IDK

KCTK Radio :

Shouldn’t Bowie have been mad at Anka instead of Sinatra?

LazerPrincess🧚‍♀️🦸‍♀️👸🧙‍♀️ :

it soothes my soul to know bowie disliked frank sinatra for some reason.

Brian :

1. It's not a diss track. 2 My Way was hugely successful and is the better known song. 3 "One of the greatest recordings of the 20th century" is major hyperbole. It barely cracks the top ten of Bowie songs, let alone all songs.

Happy Donkey 🫏🌕 :

Pretty thin, no? Even if it's true, so what? The songs have nothing in common.
