David Bowie and Mick Jagger – “Dancing in the Street”


David Bowie and Mick Jagger,with collaboration had released a video 'Dancing in the Street',it is really hard to inhale that how can two people as eternally cool as these two come up with something so embarrassing?

They both gives one hell of a performances in there video, it has no head and tail. The video entrance gives no sense and its hard to analyze what they actually want to demonstrate in this video

“Dancing in the Street” is more like two dads on a rare night on the town after one beer too many. Is it just my imagination or did Bowie’s trench-coated dark alley dance later go on to be adopted by none other than Rick Astley in, yes, that video which must not be named? The simultaneous butt-wiggle at the end confirms that they are definitely in on the gag, except the joke here seems to be bigger, and more hilarious, than ever intended.

'U2 owe David Bowie a lot'

Band owe most of their success to David Bowie revealed by the U2's Bono.

The frontman of the band praised that it is the Bowie who brought new style of singing in our band and the success of that can be seen since last 30 years.

He told Rolling Stone: "U2 owe him a lot. He introduced us to Berlin and Hansa Studios; to collaborating with Brian Eno.

"It's the high singing, beyond your 'man' voice into the feminine. And there's the staging, the attempt to be innovative.

"Bowie wasn't afraid to use scale, to dramatise things. His setlist was not just a jukebox he could run through. It was drama."

The 'Vertigo' star also described Bowie as a UK version of Elvis, because he caused a "radical shift" in the music scene.

He continued: "It's not exaggerating to say what Elvis meant to America, David Bowie meant to the UK and Ireland. It was that radical a shift in consciousness.

"The first time I saw him was singing 'Starman' on television it was like a creature falling from the sky. Americans put a man on the moon. We had our own British guy from space - with an Irish mother."

We still don't want to give too much away just yet, suffice to say that David Bowie has been working on a book entitled Bowie: Object."

Lady Gaga Says She's Like David Bowie, Queen & Madonna

Gaga said, "What I have in common with David Bowie and with Queen and with Prince and with Madonna is the way that I combine theatrics and the visual in all of my performance. The fashion and the imagery and what I am trying to say as an artist goes much further beyond the music".

She continues, "I don't like when bands compare themselves to artists from the past and try to mimic them and their music and it sounds like a copycat. The intention for me is not to sound just like Bowie or Madonna or Prince. It is to pull references from all of these different people and create something fresh and new and futuristic and pop and different."

She also said, "I do sing more like a guy than like a girl so all of those male references that I am pulling, you can hear it in my voice."
