David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

Bowie won a Grammy for this short film. I love the in jokes and surreal touches. When Bowie committed to a project, the result was always quality.
How very true. Bowie is amazing here, as just about always. It also helps that the project was directed by Julien Temple, the prolific music video director for the Sex Pistols, Judas Priest, Culture Club and so many other prominent artists.

@@bobhebel4116 Julien Temple also directed Absolute Beginner 2 years after this...
in which Bowie both had a key role on-screen...
- AND performed the absolutely epic and unforgettable theme song, (never listen to the radio edit/single version). Which also had incredible instrumentation and production.
@@danielpujol8266 Yes, Absolute Beginner, great movie. Would have been better shot in the SAND dunes of the Middle East...
Even when he's playing a dork, he's absolutely adorable and irresistible!!!
Love this video
YES! me too - he is SO funny
oh shut up
But he really was a dork his whole life, which added to his witty charm when he was doing dramatic visual and audio arts. He made peace with his own awkward insecurities throughout it wll, which truly made him a cool person. He wasn’t going to be denied by others hateful bullshit.
I actually had the honour of meeting David on set to this Video ❤
I had no idea this existed until today. Now I finally know the entire story behind the Blue Jean music video. I love this.
@FlashakaViolet I actually recall this from my youth and in fact was commenting on this just today i searched and thankfully they posted this what a great comedic performance and oh yes the music !! enjoy luv!
I still have it on VHS . I tunes took it down even though I bought it . WTF
SAME! I always loved the video on MTV (and the song as well) but this adds so much more to it! I never knew about it until today.
@@ceecoursian They can do that after you’ve purchased something? WTF indeed.
I remember this from best of bowie DVD. it was hidden in the interface
Things this video taught us : the only guy who will easily steal girls from David Bowie is David Bowie! Period.
Hahahahah
Exactly 😂
"Ive got a teensy-weensy little headache. I wonder if you might
switch that thing off... until I finish passing out. Thank you"
Adorkable Bowie is the bestest Bowie...
Early Ground Control Bowie is precious and must be protected.
He had a great sense of humour, he is so funny in this. I am still feeling the loss of him departing this earth. Thank you Bowie for all your amazing creativity.
He may have left us physically but he is a Starman now - he'll return someday ❤
Screaming Lord Byron is easily spotted as an reference and critique to his Thin White Duke persona. Bowie is such a damn genius.
Could he have been any more beautiful as Lord Byron?! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Laughing Lark Nope
@@TinyDancer250 I saw that video when they showed it the first day on MTV I was a teen and a fan, my jaw dropped when I saw him in that makeup!
He also looks much like Rudolph Valentino, a legendary figure of silent films era, the video is co-inspired by him
of simply Screaming Lord Sutch !
19:22 "I've had this band-aid on for about five days."
LOL I wish all of his music videos were as long as this one.
One of the first long form music videos back when MTV was fun and innovative -- and primarily a music station. Bowie was an innovator.
+Nelson Smith I miss those days. I used to love to watch MTV as a tween/early teen in the eighties.
Me too. I remember the first day MTV aired. I don't think I left the house that day. Music Videos fascinated me.
+Nelson Smith BRILLIANT.
The ascendancy of MTV in the early-to-mid 1980s gave a huge boost to the mainstream popularity and commercial success of Bowie.
roguenation Yes, although artists had been using music videos primarily as tools to get the attention of record agency's way before Mtv, Bowie understood the entertainment and artistic applications of the media early on and took it to another level.
BOWIE = IRREPLACEABLE GENIUS
Along with his genius, Bowie had a sharp sense of humor.
'Your record sleeves are better than your songs', I always remembered that line.
Im sure Ricky Gervais got a lot of inspiration from this for The Office lol
And this video made David Bowie win the only Grammy he obtained in his lifetime.
He did win a Lifetime Grammy in 2006, this was his only competitive win during his lifetime.
He deserved so much more, especially music awards, he was too brilliant, the blind couldn't see it.
@@mystical0319 er better yet, the deaf couldn't hear it.
He also turned down a knighthood. DB didn't need baubles.
The last bit where he is complaining about the ending...omg funny!!
When u feel sorry for David Bowie losing against David Bowie
+Ithaela neli Shields I was like...awww...I would have dated the sweet billboard dude...wait who am I kidding.
kivircik ali
+Jimmy Cooper mk
kivircik alo
+Ithaela neli Shields Only David Bowie could stop David Bowie from pulling. "You conniving, randy, bogus-Oriental, old queen!"
@5:40 Bowie's character - when he sees the Malcom X t-shirt, " I caught that tour in Berlin."
Absolutely brilliant.
It's a lot subtler than some videos.
That's been my favorite moment since I first saw it on the MTV World Premier about 36 years ago. WOW. 36 years.
Only David could have played a such a character, who’s kinda goofy ,all the while trying to be cool for the girl,but she understands what he is,it’s a sad funny take! Wonderfully done by David!
This video was always a fave of mine...watching him pretending to be clumsy and awkward is just hysterical!
Imagine telling everyone you shoved Bowie to the ground
I remember watching this a lot on MTV back when they used to show nothing but music videos. This brings a lot of great memories. David Bowie was not only a great performer but a great actor as well. His acting skills in this movie are just totally out there as Vic The Preppy Nerd and Screaming Lord Byron.. Thank you for posting this movie.
Jennifer Felan
A true Renaissance man.
He was gorgeous in both way and very sexy😍
RIP David Bowie❤💝❤
You should see his brief but stellar perf as Pontius Pilate in Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. He’s also great in John Landis’ Into the Night.
"I've had this band-aid on for 5 days!I haven't seen my bed in days"!LOL!!!!
If you loved this, you will love Bowie in Absolute Beginners!
He's a living legend.Never get tired of this video.
Gary Macrie Weeeeeellll, legend ,yes, living......
I rate this a 💯 and David Bowie and everybody did a incredible job on this 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛♥️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛♥️💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Absolutely adore this film with Mr david bowie unforgettable and unbelievable and unbreakable and unthinkable icon everlasting forever more than life itself
Not only was he a true music genius, he could also switch accent and act! Can never get enough of that video
Most underrated video of all time. RIP. :(
+Kimberly Anderson
Agreed! I was always astonished that this never seem to catch fire the way that say Michael Jackson's long-form Thriller video did. Though the short (song only) version of this video got some play in the day, this long version was quickly and unjustifiably forgotten. The performance was outstanding here. Showcases everything there is to love about Bowie - the acting, the music, the charm, the fashion. All in one showcase.
All of that. Yep.
+Levine2001 Yep, I always felt David was underrated as an actor--just look at The Prestige. If I hadn't known going in that this was David Bowie playing Tesla, I wouldn't have recognized him--he disappeared into the role that perfectly. Then there was that run onstage as The Elephant Man (which, unfortunately, was never completely recorded), and this--where he's so convincing both as the rock star who's a parody of himself, and the awkward everyman. If he'd chosen to focus on acting and not singing, we might be mourning Sir David Bowie of the Royal Shakespeare Company, every bit as respected as Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.
+Jennifer Schillig I definitely did not think much of his role in The Prestige. Here though he's brilliant, essentially playing himself. This is my favourite Bowie role.
+Jennifer Schillig What???!!! Holy shit...I'm just finding this out NOW? WOAH.
Screaming Lord Byron... Brilliant.
David Bowie knew exactly what to do.
And he was the most beautiful man on earth with the most precise baritone voice. He was the most good-looking bloke on earth, that´s why he got so far. And the most intelligent, too.
This is the first time I've seen this. I didn't know there was a extended version of the video.
Very cool. Poor billboard David. He was just too cute.
BILLBOARD DAVID
13:23 I love that moment where the security guy comes up to him and just LIFTS him and carries him away, like one of those old ladies with chihuahuas in their handbags.
Loved hearing little bit of warszawa while putting make up on in mirror. Bought this video on Betamax when it was released. Anyone remember betamax…better than vhs I think. Bowie was and still is my idol. Miss him much.
Still got a Old Copy of it on VHS.
Even though I no longer have the Machine. I just can't throw it away..!! 😢
"You conniving, randy, bogus Oriental old queen." Vic got dogged. Love this video.
+1
I am watching this tonight in the memory of Bowie. I heard he passed away tonight at the age of 69. So sad. :(
You've got to feel bad for Bowie - *especially* when he loses to *himself.*
Lady Stardust real shits
Fight club starring david bowie
Sort like when Saddam said that Saddam isn't worthy of judging himself 😂
3:25 - all guys trying a hair dryer for the first time.
"Your record sleeves are better than your songs." LOL Thought David was handsome in the blue suit....always a blue suit.
Ha! I just watched The Man Who Fell to Earth yesterday. In the movie Candy Clark buys him a blue suit, and Bowie's character says, "I HATE blue suits."
@@gmaher17 😂
He was! It was a good look on him.
@@gmaher17good find!
I've never seen this before. What a gem. Does this mean Screaming Lord Byron is another Bowie character
Just made up for this one video.
Holy crap this is amazing. I've seen long storytelling music videos before, but to see a pioneering one from the great David Bowie makes you see how he really had an impact in the music industry. He was so innovative! I loved both his characters. The awkward David was such a sweetheart, and Screaming Lord Byron was dazzling (but you also had a soft spot for him since you could see how troubled he was offstage). Then we had awkward David breaking the fourth wall and that bit just made me laugh. Bowie is a treasure.
Not trying to argue but while Bowie did a lot of innovative shit I fail to see why this is one of them.
This isn't even a longform music video, it's literally a short film with a extended music sequence that was later edited out to be used as a music video.
This was also like '84 when Michael Nesmith did it 5 years before and did it bigger/better with his elephant video album.... ...he also kinda invented MTV but since the media tells everyone The Monkeees are a joke stuft like that gets ignored
my poor ziggy. one of my favorite videos of him. RIP you sexy genius.
His Screaming Lord Byron makeup is stunning!
RIP David. When I first saw this as a teen, I always wanted to see a final shot of Lord Byron...just a silhouette...looking through the grated window at the end.
Or is that too clever clever?
+schmittelt hahaha....i found myself still wanting this.
+schmittelt Clever clever? Are you calling me clever clever?
@@deirnoel Clever Clever is when you start filming in the daylight. It was night ten minutes ago.
"I'm not advertising Frankie until they tell me who he is"... Fantastic.
When this song was released I immediately loved it. On the weekend music shows they used to play Blue Jean over and over, which I never tired of. And on the odd special occasions, we got to see the extended version which ran for nearly six minutes. I absolutely love Bowie in this. Despite being a singer first and foremost, I thought he was a bloody great actor also. This extended extended short movie only proves it. I saw him live here in Brisbane in 2004 and absolutely loved every second of that concert.
Such a shame we lost him so early. I truly think if he were still alive, he would still be making fantastic music
That was excellent. Byrons make up was excellent. Bowies performance (both of them) fantastic. He's a natural comedian. I rate this as his very best acting performance and that includes Mr Lawrence and Man Who Fell.
Brilliant.
Fantastic. and David was a ver good actor.
I agree with you too. He really was a great actor too. My four year old niece Dia, is a big Bowie fan and she and I loved his portrayal of Jareth The Goblin King in Jim Henson's "Labyrinth".
+Jennifer Felan Also merry Christmas mr Lawrence , the hunger, the man who fell to earth, and countless other films he did or did a small part in like the movie into the night where he plays a bad guy.
Everybody loves that portrayal
@@TheSensfan09 Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me
Brilliant. R.I.P. David Bowie.
I had never seen this video. It is simply delightful, Bowie was a great actor and to see him is always amusing. He was not only beautiful, he had a lot of charisma.
Remember seeing this when it came out…Real style…and humour….classic Bowie !
Love that hes listening to Low, in the mirror at 11:50, as Screaming Lord Byron, another eccentric character among a lifetime of brilliant art, film, theater, and music.
When he held up the mesh Ziggy shirt and said "This is all I've got that goes with it." To say I wheezed is an understatement.
This was such a classic short film. Watching this on MTV almost every day was so great! David, you will be forever missed. Rest in peace, Lord Byron!
Hope this gets an HD upgrade and subtitles someday!
Was just bloody genius. What a guy, not only managing to clean himself up and get free of drugs and drink but POKING FUN at his former self at the same time. Somewhat incredible really. Oh and the small matter of a FANTASTIC single at the same time. Thank you for all of the laughs David and thank you too Julien Temple for being entirely on the same page. What a truly brilliant short film. I loved it at the time and love it even more so now. RIP DB. There will NEVER be another like you and nor SHOULD there be. What a total LEGEND x
This is gold dust! Especially when he breaks through the fourth wall and complains 'rock star's got no boots on'. Oh, 1984 must've been such a swell time!
I was there. It definitely had it's moments, especially musically. 👍
It was pure magic!🎉
Nearly 25 years later and I am still Jazzin' for Blue Jean.
Bought this on VHS tape back in the day. Been a Bowie fan since early 70's. Still have the tape. There will never be another one like him.
It just so happened that we got cable tv on my first day of high school , and this was the first video I saw when I got home and turned on MTV. September 1984
He's hilarious. Shaking-my-head-in-awe hilarious.
I have never seen this full version. This showed his comedic side. Delightful! I sure do miss him. Glad he left us so much.
The best part 18:02 and 17:27. Bowie doing the best impression of a rock star. He was fantastic.
When he sang that line "I'm gonna get the faculty together", as a kid I thought he was singing...well, a word that would NEVER have been allowed on mainstream pop radio in the eighties.
He actually dropped that F bomb in the song Sweet Head from 1972, but in England it means cigarettes. It was nonetheless cut from the Ziggy Stardust album...for sexual content. 😅
He was brilliant.... We will miss you David Bowie!
The end of this video is ironically funny. I've always wonder who the girl is that David Bowie's character was chasing. RIP Thin White Duke. There is another star shining brightly in the heavens. Shine your electric eye on us.
absolutely brilliant -so underrated as an actor. Probably just so underrated - period. So sad.
+Debbie Bowyer Underrated? He was one of the biggest acts of all time, and influenced everyone who came after him, influenced music, fashion, the whole culture. He filled huge arenas until he retired. He toured the world many times. He blew the whole scene apart in the early 70s. He changed everything.
Yes. But he was even better than that.
😏that taint the only things he “blew apart”……..
Have you ever seen Bowie in the 1991 film “The linguini incident”? He is simply delightful.
Unbelievable and unthinkable and unspeakable and unforgettable and out of this world icon forever more than life itself
Love the song, love the story, love David Bowie. RIP :'(
rest in peace darling.
David Bowie was such a creative and talented person. He was a musician, writer, painter, actor and I understand he sculpted as well. Talent that he possessed is rare in today’s world.
I haven't seen this since the '80s, when MTV would show this regularly. Back when MTV was something you wanted to watch.
I recalled this was bloody brilliant.
I remember watching this on MTV back in the day. He played the dual role in a very excellent matter. I forgot how funny he was in this.
What a flood of memories! I recall the controversy when this came out - Bowie wanted music stations to pay to show the full video - MuchMusic in Canada refused! He gave in shortly after. Bloody hell I loved this!
I remember MTV playing this short film a few times. I haven't seen it in 30+ years. Thanks to David Bowie for providing a creative and diverse soundtrack to my life, to-date. Cheers and Rest In Peace!
I've only seen the video of Blue Jean where's he's just singing as the genie and now I know what the whole deal with him and the girl sitting at the table is all about, lol. This is great and a tad funny as well. Thank you for uploading it for us :)
This was the video that deepened my crush for Bowie. He was so gorgeous.
Rin Wesley
He was completely gorgeous. He had a great smile, good looks charisma, sense of humour...the lot!
Love Blue Jean , it’s a beautifully constructed song ❤
8:28-
I'm a friend of Paul's! He said to mention it! Linda (Linder) and he, I introduced them!!! LMAO
11:49 Warszawa LOL, Bowie was the best !
Happy Birthday David 🤍
"I'm speechless! You conivin', randy, bogus, oriental old queen - your record sleeves are better 'n your songs!"
Saw bowie 3 times in concert, love the rock and roll.
First time i see a clumsy DavidBowie and i love it!
Everything is so lovely and magical when is Bowie doing...Man i love this guy and i miss him so much T.T
Vic is absolutely adorable
And the self-deprecating sense of humour, for someone who was so famous by this, it´s refrehing and just shows how intelligent and lucid about fame and the likes he is...
The Two Bowies reminds me of what Iman said about meeting and marrying Bowie. She said she married David Jones; David Bowie was this guy up on stage. He shows those two very different personas so well in this video.
I still want to go to this club!
David in mode, nerd, i think... looks so adorable, so cute; but in mode: Screaming Lord Byron, looks so marvelous, so handsome. Loved this video!!, without a doubt, he had so much talent like a singer and as an actor too
thank you David Bowie for your art and as a wonderful person. Your music will be appreciated well beyond all our years on this planet. RIP
🇲🇽🤗🎵🎵🎵 excelente videoclip 🎬🇲🇽 y track.
The noise Bowie makes at :57 when he falls is just a funny and weird noise, ah got to love David Bowie.
and also in 8:37
God, I remember when this video premiered on MTV back in 1984...has it really been 35 years? I was only just 16 yrs old when it debuted. Here's to better days...and of course to Screaming Lord Byron...and Vic.
What a wonderful trip down memory lane. Love you David ❤️
Being able to re-watch stuff like this makes my "Top 5 Reasons I'm Thankful for the Internet" list.
Maybe someday more than one person ever will "get it" when I call them a conniving, randy, bogus, Oriental old queen. 🙏
"You're calling me 'cleverclever'?" brilliant!
i so love this short. bowie being a dork in one part and as screamin' lord byron. a diva of sorts who is so full of himself. i love the fact that he's got a sense of humor. the ending kills me. i wished bryan ferry did take on the role as the roomie.
Love it! Bowie is hilarious, particularly at the end.
Thank you for every thing Mr. Bowie. R.I.P.
I've never watched this till now, 1/10/17. One year since David ... left. Such talent. Such a loss. Love you and miss you forever, Bowie.
I love every minute of this movie. I always have since the moment it came out. Hilarious.
he is absolutely adorable in this.
he's still adorable even now!
I remember when MTv premiered this video. To this day, this is still one of my favorite songs. Thank you David Bowie for touching my life with your music. Clever Clever!
R. I. P
0:56 his scream 😂
LMFAOOOO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"on your bike, son" - I love that bit.
