Does anyone know the actual date that this aired? I may or may not have taken my first breath yet.

This aired on 15th of December 1979, so I'm guessing you had taken your first breath. Congrats on that, well done indeed.

yeah 6 months! Im sure I took a few by then.

I've always wondered how the original sounded. There is a cover of this on the Nirvana Unplugged album.

Saw this live on TV aged 14..they did TVC15 as well-

now is the time that we dance.

Klaus Nomi (r.i.p.) was one seriously fucked up individual. look him up.

Immediate upvote for Klaus Nomi

Klaus Nomi, a man truly ahead of his time.

If it weren't for the Adult Swim show The Venture Brothers, I would have never heard of him.

btw I am sure I saw this live, but I barely remember it. At the time I didn't realize how great Bowie is, and how great a song The Man Who Sold The World is.

I was 13 when I saw this and all could say was, wow the guy who sings (I am a) D.J. has other songs.......it was late at night for a 13 year old...
