    this has been sitting in a vault for years and it's finally aged to bizarre perfection.

    I vividly recall this one "flooring" me when I watched the original airing. One of the more bizarre performances I'd ever seen. Marianne was basically living on the streets, strung-out and destitute after Jagger dumped her. Amazing that Bowie managed to get this performance from her at all. Since she wasn't taking care of her health, her voice definitely had begun to suffer at this point. Even though her voice suffered more damage in the years after this performance, she kicked the drugs, made the best of things, and fashioned a considerable career as a solo artist and actress that still continues.

      Yeah, I wonder how much that whole "living on the streets" thing was overegged for shock value aka press interest. She doesn't exactly look like a homeless person here.

      I only saw it as a rerun but it's one of the best things ever. As far as all the people who complain about the vocals or the costuming, I say, look in a mirror. It's rock and roll people. It ain't supposed to be perfect, it's only meant to entertain.

    I wonder what the Wolfman made of that performance? It's so totally out of whack it's brilliant. Bowie with feathers and high heels, Marianne dressed like a nun and I don't really know where the backup singers came from but they fit in perfectly. May I remind everyone of the quality of this recording/video, it's 50 years ago.

    • @pammyfersure
      @pammyfersure Рік тому +11

      ​@@TonyGPizza this is from November 1973 and Blazing Saddles came out in February 1974. Brooks was likely done filming and it was in post-production by the time Marianne and Bowie sang this duet. Was Marianne channeling Marlene? Perhaps. Madeline Kahn absolutely was, the whole character of Lili Von Shtupp was a parody of Marlene.

    On the bootleg versions of this we get to see Marianne's right leg up to her waist for a couple of seconds at the start. Looks like she had nothing on underneath that habit. Recorded at London's Marquee. Great to see a good quality version of this performance.

    I have been watching bootleg videos of this and other Bowies videos from this particular show for years and most with a lot of quality flaws or missing spots but was happy to see them and could live with them! ...But finally, it's so great to start seeing very high-quality original TMS videos here on "The Midnight Special" channel from Bowie's 1980 Floor Show that aired back in 1973 and I remember it like it was yesterday! ...I sure hope eventually the whole show will be shown in its entirety! ...As there was nothing else ever like it ever since as it was almost the end of his Ziggy-Aladdin persona! ...Absolutely Bowie fantastic!
    Thank you Midnight Special for releasing it and the many other shows and artist you have been sharing as I have been praying for many, many, many years for this musical history day to come from you!

    Eu tenho você meu bem
    Eles dizem que somos jovens e não sabemos
    Nós não nos encontraremos até crescermos
    Bem eu não sei se isso é verdade
    Porque você tem a mim, e baby eu tenho você
    Meu bem eu tenho você, eu tenho você meu bem
    Eles dizem que nosso amor não paga aluguéis
    Antes de começarmos nosso dinheiro foi todo gasto
    Eu acho que , nós não temos muito dinheiro
    Mas ao menos tenho certeza de que de todas as coisas nós temos
    Meu bem eu tenho você, eu tenho você, meu bem
    Eu tenho flores na primavera
    Eu tenho você para usar meu anel
    E quando estou triste, você é um palhaço
    E se fico assustada, você está sempre por perto
    Então deixe eles dizerem que seu cabelo é muito comprido
    Porque eu não me importo, com você não posso dar errado
    Então coloque sua mãozinha na minha
    Não há montanha ou colina que nós não possamos escalar
    Meu bem eu tenho você, eu tenho você meu bem
    Eu tenho você para caminhar comigo
    Eu tenho você para falar comigo
    Eu tenho você para segurar minha mão
    Eu tenho você para entender
    Eu tenho você para dar beijos de boa-noite
    Eu tenho você para me abraçar apertado
    Eu tenho você, e não te deixarei ir
    Eu tenho você para amar-me então
    Meu bem eu tenho você, eu tenho você meu bem
    Meu bem eu tenho você, eu tenho você meu bem
    eu tenho você meu bem.
    I Got You Babe (feat. Marianne Faithful)
    They say we're young and we don't know
    We won't find out until we grow
    Well I don't know if all that's true
    'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
    Babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    They say our love won't pay the rent
    Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
    I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
    But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
    Babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    I got flowers in the spring
    I got you to wear my ring
    And when I'm sad, you're a clown
    And if I get scared, you're always around
    So let them say your hair's too long
    'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
    Then put your little hand in mine
    There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
    Babe
    I got you babe
    I got you babe
    I got you to walk with me
    I got you to talk with me
    I got you to hold my hand
    I got you to understand
    I got you to kiss goodnight
    I got you to hold me tight
    I got you, I won't let go
    I got you to love me so
    I got you babe
