Fashion (David Bowie song)
"Fashion" is a track from David Bowie's 1980 album ''Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)''. It was released as the second single from the album and was accompanied, like its predecessor "Ashes to Ashes," by a highly regarded music video.〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': pp.113-114〕〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': pp.75-76〕
==Music and lyrics==
According to co-producer Tony Visconti, "Fashion" was the last song completed in the ''Scary Monsters'' sessions, its bassline and some of the melody taking inspiration from Bowie's 1975 hit "Golden Years."〔 Guest guitarist Robert Fripp contributed a series of harsh, mechanical riffs to complement the band's funk/reggae arrangement.
The track was noted for its emotionally vacant choir effect, and the recurring onomatopoeia "beep beep" that Bowie had first used in an unreleased 1970 song called "Rupert the Riley."〔 Another phrase in the lyrics that Bowie borrowed from his past was "People from Bad Homes," the title track of a 1973 album he recorded with his protégés The Astronettes, which went unreleased until 1995.〔David Buckley (1999). Ibid: p.207〕
References to a "goon squad" coming to town provoked theories that the song actually concerns fascism ("the National Front invade the discos", inferred ''NME'' critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray).〔 However Bowie played down this interpretation in an interview shortly before the release of ''Scary Monsters'', saying that what he was trying to do was "move on a little from that Ray Davies concept of fashion, to suggest more of a gritted teeth determination and an unsuredness about why one's doing it".〔Angus MacKinnon (1980). "The Future Isn't What It Used to Be". ''NME (13 September 1980)'': p.37〕 Biographer David Buckley believed the song "poked fun at the banality of the dance-floor and the style fascists" of the New Romantic movement.〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.372-374〕
