Tuesday - 8/24/2010 An Ocho-rific Cover Tune - that'll show YOU, David Bowie...

Modern Love
David Bowie
1983


David Bowie and his people don't want me to embed his video,
so you can click here to open it in a new window on youtube. =)

And by the way, David Bowie ... should you or your people happen to wonder back over here to my Ocho-rific little world (after you notice the spike in views on your 27ish year old song!!) .. please note that it's a total pain in the arse to not be able to embed a video.  Good Grief!! Natalie Merchant is the worst!! She just wears me out with her anti-online-socialness.  For the love of Peter, Paul and Mary ... it's MARKETING, you dingle-dwarfs!!
It's for the benefit of you!!


The Last Town Chorus covered the song and it was featured on the television series Grey's Anatomy and The Learning Channel's

ad campaign for Diana: Last Day of a Princess.







    MY favorite recording of this song is actually the cover done by The Last Town Chorus.


    I don't want to go out
    I want to stay in
    Get things done

    I catch a paper boy
    But things don't really change
    I'm standing in the wind
    But I never wave bye-bye

    But I try, I try

    There's no sign of life
    It's just the power to charm
    I'm lying in the rain
    But I never wave bye-bye

    But I try, I try

    Never gonna fall for
    Modern love - walks beside me
    Modern love - walks on by
    Modern love - gets me to the church on time
    Church on time - terrifies me
    Church on time - makes me party
    Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
    God and man - no confessions
    God and man - no religion
    God and man - don't believe in modern love

    It's not really work
    It's just the power to charm
    I'm still standing in the wind
    But I never wave bye bye

    But I try, I try

    Never gonna fall for
    Modern love - walks beside me
    Modern love - walks on by
    Modern love - gets me to the church on time
    Church on time - terrifies me
    Church on time - makes me party
    Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
    God and man - no confessions
    God and man - no religion
    God and man - don't believe in modern love
    Modern love - walks beside me
    Modern love - walks on by
    Modern love - gets me to the church on time
    Church on time - terrifies me
    Church on time - makes me party
    Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
    God and man - no confessions
    God and man - no religion
    God and man - I don't believe in modern love

    Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love
    Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love

    Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
    Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
    Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
    Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
    Never gonna fall for
    Never gonna fall for

    1. Actually, those opening lines are:

      I don't want to go out
      I want to stay in
      Get things done

      Not your fault, I know...just mentioning it. :)

      Peace,
