If you have a chance to see his pictures of earth (our one and only planet!) taken from the space station ...they are simply stunning!

You crazy Canadians! Thank God he sings ok. He could have sent the space
program back to the 60s if he sucked. That's good. The bad part is that
every Tom, Dick, and Harry, rocketman is going to think they have the
right stuff to be YouTube stars.

A good PHD theme for an extensive research!

Don't they call that a cover of? We call it interpretation!

Anthony Newley was weak to start with--who needs a clone?

I never thought of it like that but you're right. Thanks for ruining
Bowie for me buster!

I never was a big early 70s Bowie fan and didn't think much of that
tune. One night I had a dream about it. I was in a movie theater and
some guy gets up behind me. He's playing a guitar and starts singing
that song. It was the saddest and loneliest song that I had ever heard.
I woke up midway and realized that it was the alarm on my clock-radio
that I was hearing. After that, things were never the same between me
and "A Space Oddity."

Jesus, it could have been "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies that was playing
instead. That would have been too horrible to imagine.

Speaking of one of a kind, here's Bowie working with the craziest and
most awesome Quebecois-type person I know - other than you, of course.

In the time honored tradition of veering off topic at ten percent of the speed of light, I always thought "Sugar, Sugar" was inspired by the groove of this, but with the funk ironed out:

There were plenty of other shuffle beat minor hits, and Chubby Checkers "The Twist" busted out of the blues charts to become nationwide number 1 in 1960, but few could match the crazed manic funk of Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

You could do the Twist, the Madison, the Monkey, the Swim, all the Philadelphia steps that came out on American Bandstand. It was a little too fast for the Texas dirty bop, an evolutionary descendant of the jitterbug, so it kept the showoffs from taking over the floor.

"Wooly Bully" was popular at parties thrown by my old pal Don L., the inventor of the "Partial Panther": Welch's Grape Juice and 90% ethanol--95% wouldn't work, you could taste the acetone. The Partial Panther was served absolutely ice cold over a block of ice in a punch bowl. You could hardly taste the alcohol at all, and the action of the drink on sorority girls was prompt and highly effective.

The Partial Panther rapidly drove the earlier Panther Piss into obsolescence.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming....

I'm just happy that there's at least one person with a respect for
things traditional.

"Sugar, Sugar" was mostly aimed for girls of ages 8 to 12. They're
mostly interested in dollies and little pretties. I have a hard time
equating one with the other.

"Wooly Bully" makes me think of hot rods and custom cars and Southern
California - those good things in life. Of course, Southern CA of the
mid-sixties is gone and so is the joy. Hot rods, who need 'em...?

That's what happens when the need to do your own thing obliterates all
other considerations. People think you're weird, other folks admire you,
some folks fear you. I think she's goofy as hell but in my book, that's
not a bad thing.

Nope. Sam the Sham was Domingo Zamudio from Dallas. The other Tex-Mex in the Pharaohs was Vincent Lopez. The other three Pharaohs, at the time of "Wooly Bully," were gringos. They knocked around Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee before they had their big hit.

Frpm Wikipedia: "After paying to record and press records to sell at gigs, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs wound up with the Pen label in Memphis. There, they recorded their first and biggest hit, "Wooly Bully", a song about Sam's cat.[4] "Wooly Bully" ended up selling 3 million copies and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard charts on 5 June 1965 at a time when American pop music charts were dominated by the British Invasion. It was awarded a gold disc.[5]
Although "Wooly Bully" never reached #1, it lingered on the Billboard Hot 100 for 18 weeks, the most weeks for any single within the calendar year 1965, 14 of which were in the Top 40. It became the first Billboard "Number One Record of the Year" not to have topped a weekly Hot 100 and remained the only one for 35 years until Faith Hill's "Breathe" and Lifehouse's "Hanging by a Moment" in 2000 and 2001, respectively."

Well, thank you - not that a have any control over any of that.

I knew the guy was Mesican, I guess most people though he was Persian.
That doesn't matter. CA was where it was at back in 64 and they fit the
scene perfectly. These guys don't sound like a mariachi band either:
