This thread is useless without links, Randy... Ooooh, thanks, Bbucko.
I was 6 or 7 when China Girl came out and recall it was one of those songs that made me strangely "tingly" after I saw the video - guess it was Bowie's androgyny. :shrug: Anyway, still can't listen to it without the tingles, so
Bowie wins.
Plus,
Iggy Pop has never been a favorite (although, he does rock in this version). :shrug: :shrug:
Totally wouldn't mind a Tom Waits cover of the song, though.
