"What in the World" is a song by David Bowie released on his 1977 album ''Low'', later making appearances as repertoire in the 1978 world tour as well as other major tours. "What in the World" showcases some of Bowie's Berlin-era songwriting and production techniques. The song, like other songs on the ''Low'' album, is disjointed, with seemingly random sentences and free-associative phrases appearing throughout the (lyrics ). The song makes heavy use of synthesizer and recording studio techniques, heavily influenced by the work of Brian Eno, who collaborated with the album. A "blip"-like sound comparable to the sounds later made by Pac-Man and the Nintendo Entertainment System pulses throughout the song, which, coupled with extremely rhythmic guitar solos, creates a frantic pace. The song also makes use of the Harmonizer which Tony Visconti brought to the studio through the sound of Dennis Davis' drumming. The song also features Iggy Pop on backing vocals. ==Live versions== * A live performance recorded in the spring of 1978 was released on the album ''Stage''. To make the song more accessible for the concert audience, it had been lengthened by some two minutes. This was achieved by first playing the entirety of the first and second verses at a much slower tempo, practically at dance speed, and then repeating the song once again at album speed with its ending reinstalled. * A live version recorded on 12 September 1983 was released on the concert film ''Serious Moonlight''. 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「What in the World」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
