Sex Pistols-Pretty Vacant

"Pretty Vacant" was the third single released by punk band the Sex Pistols. This ode to apathy was released on July 2, 1977. Provocatively, the chorus is sung as "va-cunt" rather than "vacant". Despite this, this song marked the bands only appearance on the British music show Top of the Pops.

Наверное. Если будет суд о плагиате, выступлю свидетелем обвинения. Или защиты. Как настроение будет ;)))))))

David Bowie - Starman

The first single from the Ziggy Stardust album - "Starman", was released on the 28th April 1972, just over a month before the album itself was released. The song "Starman" was a late replacement on the Ziggy album for "Round & Round" (which was dropped altogether).

"Starman" was recorded in a separate Trident studio session to the bulk of the Ziggy album - sometime in early 1972, after it was considered that a new song was needed as the album's main single. "Starman" remained in the UK charts for 11 weeks reaching #10. In the US, it was again less successful reaching only #65.

On the same day as the Ziggy Stardust album was released in the UK (6 June 1972), BBC radio broadcast a special version of "Starman" which had been recorded by Bowie and The Spiders in one of its studios on 22 May 1972 for promotional purposes. Altogether, this special radio version was broadcast four times on the Johnnie Walker Radio Show from 6 June 1972 to 9 June 1972.

On the 5 July 1972 (some sources mistakenly report this as being on 14 April), David Bowie, the Spiders and Robin Lumley on keyboards appeared on the BBC's Top Of The Pops and performed "Starman" to a special backing tape, adding 'live' vocals and guitar. For many this was the first time they had ever seen David Bowie and he achieved much notoriety with his unique costume and hairstyle and by singing most of the song with his wrist dangling limply around Mick Ronson's neck and shoulder. Bowie and The Spiders also performed "Starman" earlier on the Lift-Off With Ayshea TV show.

"Starman" - Press Reviews:
DAVID BOWIE AND HIS FOUR MINUTE GEM
Now this is magnificent - quite superb. We played this 15 times, roaring along with the lyrics and boogying in front of the fire. When I'd finished listening to all the other records we played it a few times more. David Bowie is, with Kevin Ayers, the most important, under-acknowledged innovator in contemporary popular music in Britain and if this record is overlooked it will be nothing less than stark tragedy. Its 4 minutes and 10 seconds of major achievement. It starts slow, brooding, menacing, with little hint of the massive power and exhaltation to come. David mumbles one or two indistinct lines behind the instrumentation before starting on the song proper. "Starman" is out there in the sky waiting and "he'd like to come and meet us but he's afraid he'd blow our minds." Sometimes the lyrics are hard to catch but the story seems to be that Starman takes over radio from his waiting station in space - ""that were no D.J, that was Hazy Cosmic Jive". Then he's on TV as well but "don't tell you Papa, he'll get us locked up"."Let The Children Boogie" he seems to say and there follows a thudding, hand-clapping, body-shaking slow boogie that must be Mick Ronson and Mick Woodmansey. Jesus - it feels good. The whole record is a sheer orgiastic delight. If you hear it a few times you're never going to be able to ignore it. A classic, a gem - what more can I say to convince you? The B-side is David in Velvet Underground mood and its a shuddering, slightly malevolent stomper. "That's great, is that B-side" said Pig from the other room - and it is good enough to be an A-side at that. Good on yer, David. - John Peel Disc 29/4/72

BI-GUY DAVID BOWIE SCORES
David proves he's not just a pretty face on this cosmic 45. This is quite an elevating and energetic song with some super "teenage" lyrics. It takes a few listens to do it to ya, but "Starman" is obviously single of the week. The B side - "Suffragette City" is one of the many highlights of David's monumental live performances.- New Musical Express 29/4/72

"There's a Starman waiting in the sky" says David in that strange voice filled with premonitions and doom. "He'd like to meet us but he's afraid he'd blow our minds." Fascinating lyrics as usual and a space truckin' tune that should appeal to all at Mission Control and points west. David is taking longer than most to become a super star, but he should catch up with Rod and Marc soon. There was a lot of talent wandering loose in the mid-sixties. Whose left from those days who hasn't made it yet? George Catsmeat! - of course! - Melody Maker 29/4/72

I think Davie will eventually climb his way into superstardom with his incredible songs, which, I think, would have been better received in 20 years time. The A side is a haunting song with David's 12 stringer playing an important part whereas "Suffragette City" is more suited to this century. I think that if it had been the push side it would have stood a good chance of making the grade. (RCA) - Durham Advertiser

Bowie has been around a long time waiting in the wings to pick up on the echelons of glory that have come to many of his contemporaries. In an effort to come through with impact he has developed his outward appearance into a succession of "high camp" poses. Certainly it's brought the press scurrying but I don't know whether it's strengthened his position as an artist in this country. Which, in a way, is a shame because - and I hasten to say this - his talents as musician and writer and unchanged from their former brilliance and have, if anything, come through strengthened in the past year or so. "Starman" is, as nearly all his tracks these days, a perfect example of David's very under-rated talents. In many ways it's atmospherically comparable to "Space Oddity" with the mellotron and guitar work that came to light on that lauded track. It doesn't have quite the same instant appeal about it until the chorus line takes off - which unfortunately may be a little too late to get it into the chart. But it's well worth having: "Let all the children boogie" and I like the "Reach Out" rip off mid-way through. GLORY - Sounds 29/4/72

BOWIE MAY TAKE TIME
May take a bit of time to register at full power, but this sounds a definite hit for the talented David. Good, strong guitar backing, a rather rambling opening, but later on he sings out with both personality and dramatics. He is a first-class performer, this bloke and that is herewith translated to disc - CHART CHANCE. Record Mirror 6/5/72

Вдруг кто-нибудь что-нибудь вспомнит? Прошу воздержаться от закидывания меня камнями. Журналистика, статьи какие-то... Просто напишите, если что-нибудь знаете, или плюньте на эту тему.

А почему, уважаемый знаток музыки, "Rudy, A Message To You" именно в исполнении Спешлс, да еще и featuring Rico? ;))

"Уважаемый знаток музыки"? Ладно, какой уж там уважаемый... Если вы намекаете на название этой темы (которую, я надеюсь, прикроют в блиижайшее время), то я назвал ее так только для того, чтобы привлечь внимание, а вовсе не для того, чтобы иронизировать над кем-то.
А вот вопрос "почему"... Ну вот просто так, интересна мне эта версия. Причем песня назвается не "Rudy, A Message To You", а "A Message To You Rudy", а Rico (Рико Родригес) - это ямайский тромбонист, игравший со Specials. Не знаю, что вас тут удивило.
Надеюсь, этот вопрос - простое любопытство, а не попытка посадить меня в лужу, чтобы доказать, насколько я не состоятелен и туп! :)))

Кстати, я обращаюсь к тем, кто следит за сайтом. Официально прошу закрыть эту тему. Я благодарен всем, кто искренне мне помог. Спасибо всем!

Ахем. Спасибо, все понятно. Теперь пара заметок на полях: песня называется "Rudy, A Message To You" и "A Message To You Rudy" и даже "Rudy (A Message To You)", в общем, строго так, как захочется тому, кто ее сегодня каверит (это вам не Grapeville)). А не каверил ее, к слову, только ленивый - ввиду этого факта я и поинтересовалась, почему именно Спешлс: были куда более хрестоматийные версии, наличие или отсутствие Рико тут никакой роли не играет - последний тоже играл песни посвежее :))

>> Песня называется "Rudy, A Message To You" и "A Message To You Rudy" и даже "Rudy (A Message To You)", в общем, строго так, как захочется тому, кто ее сегодня каверит (это вам не Grapeville)).

Спасибо большое, про варианты названия ничего не знал. А Grapeville - это просто очепятка! Тут еще и не такие очепятки можно встретить!

Версия Specials меня заинтересовала потому, что я ей только и обладаю. С какого сборника? Вынужден признаться, что мне ее просто нарезали на болванку среди многих других (теперь, наверное, можно подумать, что у меня вся коллекция - нарезки невнятного происхождения, о которых я ничего не знаю! уверяю, это не так) Не могу даже сказать, что она мне как-то безумно нравится. Для меня это просто милая песенка. Дело в том, что я... не являюсь поклонником стиля ска! (только не бейте сразу!) :)))
