And I remember when we, when we, when we did the performance that night, if you look at it, when I do the solo in, uh, "Life on Mars?", I fuck it up royally.
Earl SlickGUEST
I, I was...
Earl SlickGUEST
It, it just hit me.
BibiGUEST
Although Bibi loved David Bowie.
BibiGUEST
We had that, whenever we had piano competitions, honestly, it made me resent some, like, Life on Mars, she would just listen to it on repeat, like, maybe 200 times in a row.
OonaGUEST
Yeah, a lot of, yeah
BibiGUEST
... before any, like, stressful, like, situation, she would, like, sit curled up next to the speaker and just, like, listen to Life on Mars nonstop.
OonaGUEST
Or I'd, like, be taking a shower, and I'd, like, belt it.
OonaGUEST
My mom showed me a video recently of it was, like, me, and she was like, "Bibi's about to have a piano competition," and it was, like, you could hear me in the background belting Life on Mars in the shower.
OonaGUEST

EnzoHOST

Richard CrouseGUEST
Let's do, uh, yes, so prog rock legend and animal welfare, uh, booster Rick Wakeman, uh, treated 150 moon bears to a private concert at a sanctuary in Vietnam last week.
Richard CrouseGUEST
So the former keyboardist for Yes, uh, who's also a composer and played piano on Life on Mars with David Bowie, he's been around forever, uh, performed the show to raise awareness for bears that are caged, uh, in often cruel conditions and have their bile extracted via a needle stuck into their gallbladder.
Shane HewittHOST
Oof.
Richard CrouseGUEST
And yeah, it is, it is a, a very common procedure apparently.
Martin PopoffHOST
Uh, Wild is the Wind is another m- uh, mellow one where he does this.
Martin PopoffHOST
Um, other ones, I haven't checked these very, very carefully, but, uh, New Angels of Promise, Life on Mars, Wild is the Wind.
Martin PopoffHOST
Um, you know, Sweet Things, maybe, maybe somewhat something in Lady Grinning Soul.
Martin PopoffHOST
Um, New Angels of Promise.
Mitch BennHOST
Yes, that was Rick Wakeman on piano, in case you're wondering.
Mitch BennHOST
[laughs] Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens, Life on Mars? by David Bowie, and that.
Mitch BennHOST
Anyway, uh, one more song and then we're gonna vanish.
Mitch BennHOST
A few bits of housekeeping.
BiancaHOST
Liam Gallagher, but it also
JulianHOST
inspired like Life on Mars, David Bowie.
JulianHOST
Like you hear so many different genres being invented just from one song.

Awake the things that sleep inside I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes Take a look at the old man, meaning of the wrong guy Old man, wonder if you'll ever know Who's in the best of the show?
1 HR 9 MINS LATER
JulianHOST
Abbey Road like Paul basically after Abbey Road which is really the last Beatles album after Abbey Road he was like my next major release is going to be Ram and that's basically I'm going to continue what I did on Abbey Road move it in this direction a bit more of a rustic direction but
BiancaHOST
it feels like a natural progression exactly it's
JulianHOST
like a more colorful whimsical progression of Abbey Road John didn't progress past Abbey Road if John progressed past abbey road the next natural step would have been like david bowie life on mars
BiancaHOST
exactly yeah
PushHOST
So I'll read the map just quickly.
PushHOST
Starman, Life on Mars, Sorrow, Man Who Sold the World, TVC15, Space Oddity, Heroes, Boys Keep Swinging and Fashion.
PushHOST
I should have known that they carried on past the mid-70s then, with fashion being on there.
PushHOST
Well, exactly.
Mike StacksHOST
It might have been like everybody, so many people, Starman.
Mike StacksHOST
But the more I've been thinking about it, it was Life on Mars, which was actually
Alec PalaoGUEST
some kind of film of him singing.
Mike StacksHOST
And I just remember, somehow I had those lyrics memorized after hearing it twice.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Well, I had exactly the same experience.
Alec PalaoGUEST
I mean, if you actually look at the trajectory, Life on Mars is reissued as a single quite a bit after.
Alec PalaoGUEST
Of course, it's on Hunky Dory originally, but it was reissued as a single in 1973.
Joseph PerryHOST
So Side A kicks off with Do You Love Me by Kiss.
Joseph PerryHOST
And next we have Life on Mars? by David Bowie.
Joseph PerryHOST
Probably the most obscure one on here is Is That a Streetlight or the Moon? by Stars.
Joseph PerryHOST
