    Lyrics
    Blue Jean, I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
    Blue Jean, she got a camouflaged face and no money
    Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
    Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
    She got a police bike
    She got a turned up nose
    Sometimes I feel like
    (Oh, the whole human race)
    Jazzin' for Blue Jean
    (Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
    Blue Jean can send me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Somebody send me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
    One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
    Remember like everybody has to wait in line
    Oh, Blue Jean, look out world, oh you know I've got mine
    She got Latin roots
    She got everything
    Sometimes I feel like
    (Oh, the whole human race)
    Jazzin' for Blue Jean
    (Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
    Blue Jean can tempt me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Somebody sent me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Sometimes I feel like
    (Oh, the whole human race)
    Jazzin' for Blue Jean
    (Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
    Blue Jean can tempt me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Somebody sent me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Somebody, somebody
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    Somebody send me
    (Oh, somebody send me)
    About David Bowie:
    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 at 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.

    When Bowie played the Paramount Theater in Seattle in 1997, he picked up a light and shined it on the crowd, just like in this video. We waived and hollered when he aimed it at us, up in the balcony. David Bowie shined a spotlight on me.

      we saw the sound and vision tour - they had "stage gause" which you can see thru but also project images on . so they had a lot of close ups on him thru the show - it was super cool effect . i bought the tickets to see adrian belew as he played guitar / was musical director for that tour and belew was astonishingly great , even better than usual , but bowie was like truly something special- magical , like an allien or super human ?? that guy had some undefinable magical star quality , he really was one in a trillion . i never saw anyone like that in my life and i cant put my finger on it ( i am straight/ dig women) , but yeah bowie was the real deal rock star - the only real one i ever saw and i have seen a LOT of shows . it kind of translates on camera but you have to be there really . that guy had everyone under a spell ... really sad he went when he did in 2016 . i wish i could have met him.

    By 1985, Bowie could have been a legacy rocker, playing his greatest hits and touring to pile up the cash (like the Rolling Stones et al), but instead, he constantly reinvented himself and his sound, changing his look, so that we never knew what we were going to get next. Bowie's music was ALIVE, a growing, living thing that continued changing until his death. Bowie's one of the greats and belongs in whatever pantheon exists in popular music. Bowie didn't follow trends; he made them.

      It is too much but! he was a god so he IS immortal. I was lucky enuf to see him perform in Vancouver. Peter Gabriel was the opening act. First Peter put the entire audience into a trance. Then David appeared and we bowed down, as we knew we would! before our god. Seriously gifted, his voice had amazing range and emotional nuances. Everything was carefully designed. The costumes, his moves, all choreographed in synch with the band. The entire performance was elegantly and expertly delivered. Yet his chatter with the audience was always self deprecating[!] and charismatic. Made us all feel like we were his guests. He was magical! A true artist! Rare and hard to define.

I'm a huge Peter Gabriel fan, and had been wondering if PG and DB ever collaborated on anything considering all their similarities, so it's awesome to hear they toured together! And yes, one of the most endearing things about David Bowie is his humility. He was so truly down to earth (considering he was Major Tom and a space alien and all) and had a great sense of humor. His interviews with Conan O'Brien perfectly exemplify his humor about himself and life in general. ua-cam.com/video/P4d8QrRJvsE/v-deo.html Cheers!

      Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
      Oh, Blue Jean, is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean?
      She got a police bike
      She got a turned-up nose
      Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
      Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
      Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
      Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)
      One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
      One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
      Remember that everybody has to wait in line
      Blue Jean, look out world, you know I've got mine
      She got Latin roots
      She got everything
      Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
      Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
      Blue Jean can send me (oh, somebody send me)
      Somebody send me (oh, somebody send me)
      Sometimes I feel like (oh, the whole human race)
      Jazzin' for Blue Jean (oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)

    Bowie' s Screaming Lord Byron is a wonderful mix of poetic Byron himself and silent era Hollywood idol Rudolf Valentino. Love his role as Vic too. Worth checking out the full video if you haven't already. Bowie is charming as both the rock star and the everyman boy next door role. Bowie is essentially satirising himself and it is brilliant.
