It seems more likely, counterintuitive as it may seem, that Bowie instead performed a song that firmly remembered them performing, which had been a hit in 1962, but for a very different kind of artist than the pacemakers.
Andrew HickeyHOST
What Kind of a Fool Am I had been introduced that year by its co-writer Anthony Newley in the musical Stop the World I Want to Get Off.

This mask of flame And live my life Why can't I fall in love Till I don't give a damn And maybe then I'll know
Andrew HickeyHOST
Newley is a curious figure who it's very difficult to sum up, but who was astonishingly influential on Bowie.

Anyway, Anthony Newley, the thing that got me interested in him was there's an amazing cult sitcom called that came out a bit before this copy of Punch, in fact nine years before, in 1960, called The Strange World of Gurney Slade, and it's a really ahead-of-its-time kind of post-modern sitcom.
Oliver DoubleHOST
It's very, very odd, and a lot of it is just... him wandering around, not even the world.
