Sadly I don’t know if this amazing Bowie cover ever had a life beyond the time it took him to record it. I’m sure there are better remakes out there but I can’t think of any. Bowie just skins the Easybeats original recording on this one. I mean, if you ever want to know how it feels to be young, get paid, and have a whole world of freedom and a honey in the wings ahead of you, and not even care if there’s a planet to wake up to on Saturday, then for God’s sake throw in the Bowie Pinups tape.
So yeah, don’t hate a guy for doing the obvious thing… recommending a song with Friday in the title on a Friday. Like Bowie shows, if you’re going to do an obvious thing, just sing the hell out of it. Come to think of it, I have some bread, some friends, and I ain’t that old yet… I’ll post photos!
