one of my favorite songs is 'Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered'. David Bowie used it as the intro to his album Diamond Dogs, and when my mom heard it, she told me about the song and sang it to me. I remember that like it happened yesterday. Every time I hear it I think of her.

i didn't know bowie covered that! it's a great old song. i listen to a lot of romantic stuff from the 30s-50s, probably because it feels like home to me -- mom used to listen to a local radio station that played a hodge-podge of old music. no doubt they had it all on 45s!

no, he didn't cover it, he sampled it. He just used a small bit for the intro, but it's so powerful that it really stood out.

Me, I did that thing kids do--go through a nostalgic phase when "oh, such and such a time was so much cooler than now..." I think my folks were startled, but pleased. ;)

oh, i see. i somehow missed the boat on bowie. the only song of his i ever really went for was "let's dance." (it turned up in one of my stories, even. *g*)
