The Secret Life of Arabia
"The Secret Life of Arabia" is a song written by David Bowie, Brian Eno and Carlos Alomar in 1977 for the album ''"Heroes"''. It was the final track on the original vinyl album, following the instrumental "Neuköln".
''NME'' editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray described the song as "like seeing 'The Sheik' on acid and laughing quietly to yourself. Bowie's vocal is genuinely humorous."〔Roy Carr & Charles Shaar Murray (1981). ''Bowie: An Illustrated Record'': p.92〕 Author Nicholas Pegg considered it an "unjustly overlooked" piece, remarking on Bowie's "outrageous extremes of bass and falsetto".〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p.181〕 However for biographer David Buckley, "The Secret Life of Arabia" was "a great song, but its position on the album spoils the dramatic effect... the last note of 'Neuköln' really ought to have been the last sound on the album..."〔David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': p.325〕
