I'll give an HM for David Bowie, but "Absolute Beginners" isn't a very good song.

His second version of it is much better. Or third, maybe... :)

Why did he use the scary voice for the "Stand By Me" trailer? And whyyyyyyyyy do we have to hear this song? Ugh.
It was written by Ben E King, Jerry Leiber (who died this week) & Mike Stoller and was a hit again in '86.

I figured that, too. I still would rather never hear it again.

damn I forgot that -- it makes perfect sense now. She could've done a "'50s Friday" built around Leiber/Stoller.

are you standing by that statement?  nyuk

it's a great time to hear it, IMHO.  

Like the David Bowie.
BOS Echo and the Bunnymen.  When they did this song back in May, Ian M sang maybe two lines and then just stopped singing while the band played the rest of the song.  It was one of those crowd sing-alongs.  The kind where you feel ripped off by some drunk rock star.

ETA: change my BOS vote to Abs Beginners.  It's gorgeous.

OMFG2 and BOS3: "Human".

I *lurve* the spoken bit at the end.

And this was on my '86 wishlist!

No, but maybe I'm just thinking of the Live from the BBC version. I thought I had another studio version somewhere...

As silly as this song is, it ALWAYS gets me doing the white girl shoulder dance all enthusiastic-like.

In addition to the Bay Bridge 50th anniv, '86 was also the 100th anniv of the Statue of Liberty, I was in NYC then for that huge fireworks/celebration that July 4th.
