Does anyone remember Mott The Hoople?

[Reciprocity]

Great song
"All The Young Dudes"

Well billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive dont want to stay alive
When youre twenty-five
And wendys stealing clothes from marks and sparks
And freedys got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy saying were juvenile deliquent wrecks
Oh man I need tv when I got t rex
Oh brother you guessed
Im a dude dad
All the young dudes (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up come on)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (and I want to talk to you all of you)
Carry the news

Now lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule its a real mean team
But we can love oh yes we can love
And my brothers back at home with his beatles and his stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag too many snags
Now Ive drunk a lot of wine and Im feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
Yeah
Im a dude dad
All the young dudes (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear ya)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (and I want to relate to you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (what dudes)

Carry the news (lets hear the news come on)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (hey you there with the glasses)
Carry the news (I want you)
Boogaloo dudes (I want you at the front)
Carry the news (now you all his friends)
All the young dudes (now you bring him down cause I want him)
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here bring him come on)
Carry the news (bring him here you go)
All the young dudes (Ive wanted to do this for years)
Carry the news (there you go)
Boogaloo dudes (how do you feel

2. "All the way from Memphis"

[Richard Steele]

3. Yeah- I thought that was Bowie until about 1990 or so.

Great song still.

[WCGreen]

4. Bowie wrote the song and I believe he also produced it....

[Floogeldy]

5. I remember!

Loved them. :)

[Reciprocity]

6. Ozzy also covered it.

You know Queen would have done justus to this song as well.

[Katina]

7. How weird, I just heard a cover of it yesterday

and I'm wondering who it was. I know that Ozzy did a cover in 2005, but the version I heard yesterday didn't sound like Ozzy. Dudes was a great song..Bowie's music and lyrics at his best, with a touch of Velvet Underground..and Mott performed it perfectly.

8. Didn't they also record the original version of "Cleveland Rocks"?

The same song that was used for the opening of the Drew Carey show? Although that version was by the Presidents of the United States of America (if I remember correctly).
