bootylicious' mix inspired this mix of other favorite David Bowie song covers. My additions are few, but fun.

The image is from an animated gif I made some time ago. Bowie's coat always seemed Vader-esque.

tracklist

1 The Langley School Project : Space Oddity
This beats the food group and patriotic songs we had to sing in elementary school. Most kids should learn Bowie at an early age.

7 Syria : The Motel
One of the very few cases where I love the cover more than the Bowie original. I really think they captured the stark mood that Bowie was somewhat shooting for. This song gets more rotation than The Outside album does. I love the bass and guitar lines on this song too.
