45RPM David Bowie - The Laughing Gnome

Uploaded by: 45RPMs
Video Description:
David Bowie's first major hit 'Space Oddity' was another two years away, when he wrote and recorded this track in 1967 for the Deram label. Deram Records was set up by Decca Records (UK) ostensibly as a label for "alternative" or "progressive" artists. Mint copies of this 7" single, with an 'inverted' matrix number printed on the label are worth in the region of £70. My copy has the matrix number the right way up and is worth around £5.

This is just a joke ... ( 8 months ago by knab69)

This is just a joke song, no artist would want to be haunted by such a song his whole career. Bowie would not want people to get the wrong idea about his music by playing this song.

I was thinking that!
I was thinking of an alleged conversation that Bowie and Eno had , when Eno first heard some of the Disco productions from Studio 54. "Listen to that Teutonic beat" Eno reportedly exclaimed :)

It is true that ... ( 7 months ago by madmonk66)

It is true that David Bowie was a Syd Barrett admirer. And Syd wrote songs that sometimes made reference to fairy tales and yes the occasional gnome. But with the silly sped up voice and all, he would never have done something as gay as this. I like Bowie. But I don't think he is the absolute genius people make him out to be. A genius would not do the Labyrinth soundtrack. Or Let's Dance. Or the Dancing In The Street video. Have you had enough or do you want me to taunt you some more?

Dude, wtf??? Of course he is a wonderful musical genius. I bet you haven't made an album or music video or soundtrack before, so you have no say in how good or bad David Bowie's music is. It is like as if you are trying to change our minds or something. Try a little harder next time, because the only reason why anybody is here is because they like David. Not to agree with you.

I'm actually a huge Bowie fan, but I have to say that even he is embarressed by this song. Don't blame him really...

...madmonk, like your oppinion really matters!! Im no fan of Bowie but as far as im concerned he can do what he wants. Who appoited you the arbitter of taste all of a sudden?

The guy was 20 when he recorded this, and probably even younger when he wrote it. xD

bowie denies the ... ( 3 months ago by Kimbercakes)

bowie denies the fact that he wrote this song..something tells me he's ashamed of it. But never-the-less, this was the song which started his career. I'm so happy he changed his musical direction to make songs such as Ziggy Stardust and Life on Mars.

please i have to get this on record.does anybody know which one it was on?

I find it very ... ( 2 months ago by rioknee)

I find it very amusing the NME "allegedly" tried to rig a contest so that Bowie would be forced to play this song live once more.
Thing song is purely a shame.
It does however show just how innovative and unique David Bowie was for that time, but could prepare us for what was to come. He is a brilliant artist and I would take this over his affair with "Dancing In The Streets"

he wrote this when he was trying to get away from the record company in the description, but it back fired due to its popularity and he's done every thing he can to distance himself from it ever since

This brings to mind Leonard Nimoy singing about Hobbitts! Awesome.
