Bowie, David - Fashion Lyrics






There's a brand new dance
but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
do again and again
It's big and it's bland
full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here

[CHORUS]
Fashion! Turn to the left
Fashion! Turn to the right
Oooh, fashion!
We are the goon squad
and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep

There's a brand new talk,
but it's not very clear
That people from good homes
are talking this year
It's loud and tasteless
and I've heard it before
You shout it while you're dancing
on the whole dance floor
Oh bop, fashion

[CHORUS]

Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
La-la la la la la la-la

Bowie, David Fashion Comments
  1. M.... G....

    It's the beginning of the 2020's and I'm sitting here watching this video wishing I could re-live the 80's again.

  2. R.... I....

    Happy Birthday In Heaven

  5. S.... G....

    "people from good homes are talking this year." That's so me. 😂

  6. C.... M....

    May Pang is looking quite lovely in this video.

  7. T.... B....

    look it’s G.E. Smith !!

  8. P.... R....

    The best

  9. s.... h....

    Modern rock 지금 들어도 전혀 촌스럽지 않은 음악.
    진짜 시대를 앞서간 사람다운 음악임.

  10. K.... B....

    R I P David Bowie

  11. D.... W....

    David made this music 40 years ago. Time passes so fast ..

  12. J.... m....

    One of the most beautiful men in the world ❤️ 😔

  13. R.... P....

    I can tell who Gary Numans idol was.

  14. E.... F....

    Who else is here because of G.E. Smith?

  15. T.... T....

    Omg he is gorgeous

  16. P.... O....

    Who is here for Clueless?

    P.... O....

    Pablosky Otárola Rivas me! Was looking for this comment x

  17. P.... M....

    Superbe 👍🏻😍😘

  18. 5.... ....

    I think I like the video because of its randomness. It could mean something but I just find it random :)

  19. A.... P....

    That was a waste of my time. Idol worship is so sad.

    A.... P....

    AS PE you probably didn't like him that much in the first place if just one song is enough to put you off him

    A.... P....

    Well, at least you learned that you have no appreciation for his music, but I'm guessing you could have figured that out when listening to the radio. No need to make snide remarks where his fans are still watching and listening.

  20. S.... A....

    No one does it like David!👍❤

  21. T.... R....

    Didnt know G.E Smith was with Bowie before he was with Hall & Oates

  22. C.... C....

    The Goon Squad knows #EpsteinDidntKillHimself. Beep beep.

  23. R.... T....

    Ah, cocaine and 1970s New York City… you gave us nearly everything good that we enjoy today! 🙂❤️✌🏼

  24. P.... T....

    GE Smith with the short hair!

  25. S.... G....

    We are the goon squad and we’re coming today. Beep beep

  26. m.... d....

    Fantastic song. Adore it. Bowie forever.

  27. L.... ....

    G.E. Smith with the Telecaster in this video. Legend!

  28. T.... M....

    G.E. Smith is the guitarist playing the blonde Telecaster

  29. A.... ....

    Nice drum fills going on at 0:16, without hitting anything

  30. l.... ....

    2:27 is me on my period

  31. C.... B....

    The bourgeois are coming to town!😰

  32. J.... ....

    3:14 the way that girl dance doing the "herky jerky" is the same dance the dancers used in Bowie's Blackstar video

  33. P.... ....


    “Are you alright?” I asked Liz, whose left breast was swollen
    really badly. “No,” she said, “I have 8 glandular problems that
    are slowly killing me. I'm very thankful that I'm queen of a
    country with gland in its name.”; “Oh yes, England. You
    have much to be thankful for. You have your obedient
    son Charles & his woman and other stuff.”

  34. B.... G....

    Peaked only as high as No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981, believe it or not. Great, catchy fun song.

    B.... G....

    Number 5 in the UK in November 1980.

  35. w.... s....

    Just beyond. Pure gold.

  36. s.... ....

    0:40 first there was Fashion then the Blackstar

  37. t.... c....

    Goon sqaud..getting millions of views Bowie not even a million..Shh keep it to yourselves

  38. L.... P....

    Kylie Minogue me trajo aquí.

  39. �.... ....

    このシニカルな歌詞が堪らん

  40. V.... D....

    R.I.P Big chap from us Scottish n Irish 2019/2020style

  41. f.... ....

    In the 1970s we took him for granted, Bowie was normal shit then. It's only now, when you were through the shite. How fantastically brilliant he was.

  42. C.... D....

    Whose here after watching the legendary Kylie Minogue perform a mashup of this and her song ‘Slow’ on The Graham Norton Show?!

    C.... D....

    LOL! I had to reset my brain. I love Kylie but I just couldn't handle what she was doing there.

  43. D.... ....

    This song is full of sounds I want to hear more of

  44. P.... D....

    "On the-uh-uh-dance floor" Only Bowie could get away with that.

  45. p.... ....

    If people danced like this on the streets... I would run lol

  46. s.... w....

    Did spot the guy from level 42 in that stage lind up ?

  47. M.... M....

    Disco + LSD = this.

  48. L.... G....

    For me the visual narrative in this video seems to be saying that in our society people follow these trivial empty fashion trends (for example in this video the meaningless gestures that the dancers learn from Bowie's nightclub perfomance...) whilst ignoring the real issues in society epitomized by the homeless people cueing for soup... this is all interspersed with adverts for products to provide further distraction. Finally at the end the girl in blue comes to her senses and 'wakes up' (mirroring a gesture that Bowie makes at the start when he yawns) she looks around at the other dancers and realises the stupidty of what they are doing, and becomes an awakened citizen. That's what I get out of it anyway... :)

  49. B.... R....

    Sorry Bratz did it better

  50. L.... ....

    i love how people who made bratz forever diamonds stole this song

  51. P.... L....

    Björk ? 0:53

  52. P.... C....

    That's a big adderall
    ..that lady has there

  53. R.... ....

    God I loved the 80,s 😎👍

  54. R.... ....

    Carlos was the coolest, man

  55. n.... ....

    0:54 Bjork !

  56. A.... D....

    Anyone else notice G.E. Smith in this video 🤟

  57. S.... S....

    0:31 in his video Ashes To Ashes the black nun also bows down like this. I wonder if it had any personal meaning to Bowie.

    S.... S....

    I have always asked the same thing... In the video with Mick, they do the same... 🤷🏻‍♀️

  58. T.... J....

    I remember this record when I was about 9 or 10 back in the very early 1980s.

  59. K.... L....

    Absolutely oot his tits on gear but who cares

  60. j.... p....

    I love this video so much..

  61. N.... S....

    1:20 me in my period.






    i love u, david. you are the king

  62. e.... i....

    No boy will ever create the emotion in my heart that 0:40 ever will. That squirrel dance will be the end of me

  63. D.... ....

    **********************************************

  82. l.... ....

    Smart as anything you wouldn't believe. He took a page from The Beatles in terms of Reinvention. John Lennon as you know wrote "Fame" for him and he was one of the very few white acts to do Soul Train. Now he owns The Beatles Catalogue along with Michael Jackson. You saw how Cocaine had a impact on him.

    l.... ....

    John Lennon hardly contributed to Fame.

  83. N.... P....

    Check out "Fashion" in my playlist: Vh1 We Are the 80's - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYJiDOhfGiGxkypoTEBrlo8YyHSHmYEo8

  87. J.... R....

    What a bad ass!!!

  88. t.... ....

    for the good guys, diamond dogs song by bowie. but for the antagonists' song , I vote for "Fashion" by Bowie

  89. s.... e....

    David is easily the most beautiful who ever lived!💔💔

  90. H.... B....

    Robert Fripp. At least he influenced a whole Decade

  91. H.... ....

    Everyone else: *Compliment about the song and/or the artist*
    Me: "Why did they put a ring around that dog..?"

  92. B.... ....

    MY WIG.

  93. K.... H....

    MTV in its infancy. Great times. Bowie was so far ahead of his time. Miss you bro. ROCK ON

  94. e.... ....

    the irony is that this is an anti-fashion song . Bowie seemed to be a clothes hanger for the fashion industry . On the other hand he created new fashions himself

  95. E.... K....

    The bi energy is strong with this one

  96. y.... k....

    my favorite Bowiesong... God i danced so much on that one!

  97. L.... C....

    Don’t talk to me!!!!!

  98. L.... C....
