1984 (song)
"1984" is a 1974 single by David Bowie, from his album ''Diamond Dogs''. Written in 1973, it was inspired by George Orwell's ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' and, like much of its parent album, originally intended for a stage musical based on the novel, which was never produced because permission was refused by Orwell's wife.〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.64〕
==Music and lyrics==
The centerpiece of Side Two of the original vinyl album, in the context of Bowie's adaptation of Orwell's story, "1984" has been interpreted as representing Winston Smith's imprisonment and interrogation by O'Brien.〔 The lyrics also bear some similarities to Bowie's earlier song "All the Madmen", from ''The Man Who Sold the World'' ("They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air").〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.153〕
"1984"'s wah-wah guitar sound is often likened to the "Theme from ''Shaft''" (1971) by Isaac Hayes.〔〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': p.214〕 Played by Alan Parker, it was one of the few instances on the ''Diamond Dogs'' album where Bowie himself did not take the lead guitar part.〔 The track's funk/soul influence has been cited as a clear indicator of where Bowie's style was headed on his next album, ''Young Americans''.〔
