Say's Who?
Added 'needs citation' tag to this sentence: “Let’s Dance” would turn Bowie’s public profile from “weird art rocker” to “global megastar” almost overnight Rojomoke 16:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bowie LetsDanceSingle.jpg

goal of this song
Didn't Bowie say "I really needed money at the time", about this song ? falk 14 january 2008 (UTC)
 * If he'd needed dough, the easy way would have been to re-release some of his old stuff and do a mid-range tour. That woudld have got him millions of bucks without much creative input. He actually waited till 1983 to release a new album because he wanted to make sure RCA and MainMan wouldn't be cashing in on any part of it - their old settlement expired on New Year's Eve 1982.

 * It was a #1 hit in both UK and US. AnonMoos (talk) 13:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

SRV a musician?

Video
I like to add some more details to the video section, particularly the fact that the men in the bar were not actors, on purpose, to record their real gestions and mocking at the couple, plus depicting the references in the video to the fairytale "The Red Shoes" and to the "Stolen Generation". Please tell me your thoughts.. Giovanni-PSV (talk) 12:22, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * So long as any new information is reliably sourced, these would be welcome additions! Thank you! 87Fan (talk) 15:36, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi @Giovanni-PSV - I have just amended your citation to the Red Shoes fairytale to include the source article "Confronting Bowies Mysterious Corpses" in addition to the Book editors. ;) IsabelsPicnic (talk) 05:47, 24 March 2022 (UTC) cheers

The white house 'mansion' used for the floor scrubbing scene (~2m into the video) is located at 14 Douglas St, St Ives NSW — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.172.228.30 (talk) 09:26, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
