What foreign languages does David speak?
Leonid Andreev
-- I'm just curious. I mean, I heard him singing 'Heroes' in both French
and German :) , but can he actually speak any?
I remember reading in some book that early during their relationship
with Angie she was virtually serving as his manager and entrepreneur and
the fact that she was fluent in 3 or so languages helped a lot (I won't
bet my head on the accuracy of this information of course). Does it
mean that "it helped because he didn't speak any himself"?
thanks,

To judge from his pronounciation in "Heroes", he probably had the German
lyrics written out phonetically:
"Cuntest doo shvimmen
Vee delpheenuh, delpheenuh ess toon
.....................
Eeech, eeech bin dan curnig
Oont doo, curnigeen"

Bowie speaks, by his own admission, pidgin German - enough to ask for cigarettes in shops but
not much more. His French is a little better, but not much.
One of the highlights of the first Bowie concert ever in Ireland was an awful attempt at an
Irish language greeting, which he seemed to read off the back of his guitar. The most charitable
thing that can be said about his attempt was at least it was better than the Pope's. Also at
the same concert, he said "It's great to be in Dublin" even though he wasn't (in Dublin).
He usually likes to try a few words of the local lingo at his European and Japanese concerts.
And I hear his attempts in Israel this summer were very well-received.
Slan leat,

I'd have to agree with Kai on this one. I read somewhere ( why should i
be believing these stupid bios?) that David had the Italian version of
"Space Oddity," was written phonetically out for him, and it sounds as if
the french version of "Heroes," was written out phonetically or it could
just be that David was just beginning to seriously learn French, ( he does
live in Switzerland.) His German sounds quite good to me, but i've never
heard any German other than from stupid movies on cable t.v. ( the
downfall of western society), but if he lived there, he had to somehow
communicate, right? and we haven't even touched on David's Indonesian
singing abilities......what about Japanese? Can he speak this at all?
"Girls," has a japanese version, but can he speak it? He must know some
languages. 1. He's extremely intelligent which could allow him to study
a language and learn it quickly. 2. He's been around the world, oh how
many times? He's been around the world on more rotations than the moon!
love on ya!

I think he speaks a little Japanese as well, although not well enough to
understand spoken Japanese.

I saw a clip on television some months ago from the Berlin period. Bowie
says a couple of sentences in German. From what I heard it sounded quite
good, not much accent. (I used to know German pretty well in high school:)

Dave does seem to be geographically challenged from time to time.
Eg the Sound & Vision Tour, 1990, Milton Keynes Bowl - where I was happily
dancing away with one of those flourescent tubes on my head - and Dave says
it's the last time he'll play these songs in London. Like yeah right,
London is an hour's drive down the M1 away from Buckinghamshire.

PS My wife is German and she can certify that David's German accent is
"bloody awful!" and very English.

He also does an 'Indonesian' version of Amlapura on a Tim Machine
CD single.

Ooh, ooh,ooh, that reminds me of an even worse geographic faux pas Dave pulled at the second
Dublin Sound + Vision concert, when he introduced Ziggy Stardust saying that it would be the
last time he ever played the song in the UK. That went down very well with the Irish crowd,
I can tell you.

"Ooh, ooh,ooh, that reminds me of an even worse geographic faux pas Dave
pulled at the second"
And that statement reminds me of another faux pas:
His name's David. He prefers "David." Not *Dave*.

So, smarty pants, why does he refer to himself in one of his songs as Dave?

*Okay* then let me ELABORATE:
Recently, he has said that he prefers *David*.
Yes, he used to go by Dave, I imagine. Just as when he was young, he went
by the name Davey.
-Sort of like how when I was young, I went by the name Krissy, but now
it's Kris.
Or Cyg. Ciao.

I've read before that he hates being called Dave, and that the people on
the internet do it out of love or some such slovos. I don't know if what
you wrote is an attempt at sarcasm, in which case I am currently
displaying my idiocy.

Yes, I was aware of this. I take it you are referring to the dreadful VH-1 interview, where
it was probably the most intelligent question the interviewer asked.
This is actually the point at which I started calling him Dave. If you remember, he said "Only
people on the Internet call me that", so not to disappoint him, myself and a few of my Internet
friends switched to calling him Dave. I believe the term is "in-joke" (or running gag).
Anyway, the bottom line is even if he does prefer David (and I have my doubts that he cares
one way or the other about what people call him, since they frequently mis-pronounce Bowie
and he rarely corrects them): hell, we buy all his records, we've made him a rich man, we can
call him what we damn well want!
Actually, this sort of name abuse is quite common among fans of other artists. An ex-girlfriend
of mine whose life was ruled by Leonard Cohen told me once that his Internet fans often refer
to him as "Lenny", even though he apparently hates it. And Irish U2 fans like to annoy Bono
by referring to him by his real name.
>Yes, he used to go by Dave, I imagine. Just as when he was young, he went

If you scrutinise interviews, I think you'll find that many people in his circle still call
him "Dave". Particularly those who have known him for a long time. I heard once that the switch
from Dave or Davey to David coincided with the arrival of Angie in his life, because she insisted
on always calling him David, but I don't know if this is true.
Slan leat,
Dara.

I believe this song is talking about Bowie’s assisted suicide that he
planned and timed with the release of this album on Sunday and Monday
following, Where the fuck did Monday go? Girl Loves me refers to his wife
Iman who may have assisted in the suicide, her cryptic and hinting social
media posts leading up to Bowie’s death on Monday also suggest she knew the
exact day he would die as it was a planned suicide to prevent the pain and
suffering associated with his cancer. The drug in which he refers to is the
drug he used to kill himself, suicide drugs. The fact that he chose to write
this in code, and used Polari, gay slang that was used to communicate openly
amongst gay men in the 60’s and 70’s when being gay was basically illegal,
parallels the the code he used to write this song about another illegal act
in the UK, assisted suicide. Absolutely brilliant! -Melanie Deann
assisted fake death if you ask me
he retired
finally
THIS WAY OR NO WAY
YOU KNOW, I’LL BE FREE
it was the only way to make sure he could live in peace for what was left of
his life
he is now resting in peace
