Certain songs transcend pop and work as international soundtracks. Bowie’s “Heroes” sounded like a million dollars in a café. Madonna sounded good spilling out of a clothing store and onto the street. Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” sounded great in the bakery. Michael Jackson sound’s good anywhere. And T Rex’s “Bang A Gong” sounded fantastic on a bus this morning in Barcelona. Margaret Explosion has to work on its International chops.
Coke vs. Pepsi ~ that sort of thing.
Bowie wrote the lyric to Heroes while on a lunch break in the studio. The vocal on the track is not only the first take, it was the first time he had ever sung it.
