David Bowie is 67: happy birthday! Exactly one year ago we celebrated this glorious day in the most surprising way: with a new song (Where are we now?) and the news of a new album to come (The Next Day). This year it seems we are not going to get a similar chance. So let's dance in a different way: with two playlists. First one is the Spotify version of Top 24 David Bowie Songs published last march by Paste. A good list to be heard & questioned. Second one collects the same songs in cover versions. Possibly bizarre: with Portuguese & German lyrics, taken from animation movies (Shrek 2) or sung by actors (John C. Reilly), unexpected (Paul Young? Frankie Goes To Hollywood?) and definitely classic (Nirvana's The Man Who Sold The World, Bauhaus' Ziggy Stardust). Hint: pay particular attention to Ragazzo solo, ragazza sola ("Lonely boy, lonely girl"). It's pure Major Tom... singing in Italian!
Enjoy.
