Rebel Rebel
"Rebel Rebel" is a song by David Bowie, released in 1974 as a single and on the album ''Diamond Dogs''. Cited as his most-covered track,〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': pp.90-92〕 it was effectively Bowie's farewell to the glam movement that he had helped pioneer.〔Mat Snow (2007). "Hang on to Yourself", ''MOJO 60 Years of Bowie'': p.51〕〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.210-217〕
==Music and lyrics==
Originally written for an aborted Ziggy Stardust musical in late 1973,〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': p.140〕 "Rebel Rebel" -- recorded in January 1974 and released a month later -- was Bowie's last single in the glam rock style that had been his trademark. It was also his first hit since 1969 not to feature lead guitarist Mick Ronson; Bowie himself played guitar on this and almost all other tracks from ''Diamond Dogs'', producing what ''NME'' critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called "a rocking dirty noise that owed as much to Keith Richards as it did to the departed Ronno".〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.60〕
The song is notable for its gender-bending lyrics ("You got your mother in a whirl / She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl") as well as its distinctive riff, which rock journalist Kris Needs has described as "a classic stick-in-the-head like the Stones' 'Satisfaction'".〔Kris Needs (1983). ''Bowie: A Celebration'': p.29〕 Bowie himself later said, "It's a fabulous riff! Just fabulous! When I stumbled onto it, it was 'Oh, thank you!'"〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). Op Cit: p.170. Pegg also credits Alan Parker with augmenting Bowie's guitar work on the album and UK single version of "Rebel Rebel", although the ''Diamond Dogs'' sleeve acknowledges Parker only on "1984"〕
Transsexual rock artist and former Bowie associate Jayne County claims that "Rebel Rebel" was based in part on County's own song "Queenage Baby", which was recorded in January 1974 by Bowie's Mainman Records, but not released at the time. The song later surfaced on the independent 2006 release ''Wayne County at the Trucks'', and some critics, upon hearing the track, echoed County's claims.
