Funtime
You may well be aware of this, but I've only stumbled upon it comparatively recently. It's a short video comprising extracts
from David Bowie & Mick Jagger's 'Dancing in the Street' clip.....minus the music. The uploader removed
the song, then added various incidental noises for comic effect - and it's a hoot. Apparently Bowie himself even thought
so. This is Ben Monder, who played guitar on 'Blackstar', recalling the atmosphere during the recording sessions. 'I remember us watching this thing...somebody did a series of music videos without the music. Somebody did one of
those for the video he (Bowie) did with Mick Jagger for "Dancing In The Streets." But there's no music, just footsteps
and grunts and burps and stuff like that. He thought that was hilarious and would just have us watch the whole thing.'
Bowie's entrance gets me every time.
