THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
334-Mott The Hoople-All The Young Dudes.
1972-Number 3 single.
Best Bit-At 0.54.A dude is a term of address for a man.In the late 19th Century a dude was a person who dressed outlandishly.In the 1970’s Glam Rock gave people the opportunity to cross dress,maybe giving Aerosmith a good idea for a song title.
The song originated after David Bowie came into contact with Mott The Hoople bass player Peter Watts and learned that the band were ready to split due to lack of commercial success.
It is said Bowie wrote the song in less than 30 minutes and had Mott The Hoople(see also best songs 661) not recorded it Bowie would have added his version to the classic ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust’ Album.
Bowie offered Mott The Hoople ‘Drive In Saturday'(see best songs 807) as a follow up single but they chose to record their own material instead.
‘Man I need a TV when I’ve got T Rex.’
