"Teenage Wildlife" is a song written by David Bowie in 1980 for the album ''Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)''. Running at almost seven minutes, the song was the longest track on ''Scary Monsters'', and Bowie's longest composition since "Station to Station" four years prior in 1976. ==Music and lyrics== The song's original title was "It Happens Everyday." Producer Tony Visconti said "Instead of singing 'Not another teenage wildlife' () would sing 'It happens everyda-a-ay.'" Against a musical backdrop that owed much to his classic song "Heroes", including textural guitar work from both Robert Fripp and Chuck Hammer, Bowie appeared to take aim squarely at his post-punk artistic godchildren, particularly Gary Numan: A broken-nosed mogul are you In a 1980 interview, Bowie commented on Numan and his "whiz-kid world": Renowned Bowie fan, Boy George has said that his all-time favourite lyric was "As ugly as a teenage millionaire".〔''Smash Hits'' flexi-disc, 1985 Boy George interview〕 In a recent article for the ''Mail On Sunday'', Bowie revealed that his vocal performance on this song was an imitation of American girl group singer, Ronnie Spector. 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「Teenage Wildlife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
