"Andy Warhol" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album ''Hunky Dory''. It is an acoustic song about one of Bowie's greatest inspirations, the American pop artist Andy Warhol. The song starts with some studio chat where Bowie explains to producer Ken Scott, who has just been heard to mispronounce Warhol's name when introducing the take, the right way to say it. Scott solemnly reintroduces the take with the correct pronunciation. There follows several seconds of silence before Bowie asks if the tape is rolling. Upon realising they are indeed recording, Bowie bursts into laughter and begins playing. The song is memorable for its distinctive, flamenco-sounding opening riff on the acoustic guitar, which continues through the track. Originally the song was written for Dana Gillespie, who recorded it in 1971, but her version of the song was not released until 1973 on her album ''Weren't Born a Man''. Both versions feature Mick Ronson on guitar. ==Other releases== * It was released as the B-side of the single "Changes" in January 1972. * It also appeared on the Japanese compilation ''The Best of David Bowie'' from 1974. * An edited version, with the dialogue in the introduction cut, features on the 2005 compilation ''The Collection''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Warhol (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
