807-David Bowie-Drive-In-Saturday.
1973-Number 3 single.
Best Bit-At 1.32 Bowie was a genius and this is just one example of Pop Music’s greatest talent.
Drive-In-Saturday describes how the inhabitants of a post-apocalyptic world in the future(Bowie once said that the year was 2033)have forgotten how to make love and need to watch old porn films to see how it is done.The lyrics name-check Mick Jagger(when people stared in Jagger’s eyes and scored),the model Twiggy and Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung.
The song was written with the band Mott The Hoople in mind as a follow up to ‘All The Young Dudes’ but this time they declined the offer,a surprised Bowie decided to record it himself.
