David Bowie Instagram – PRESLEY DOES BOWIE ON THE BBC…OR DOES HE?

“Elvis is English…”

Ten years ago this week (26th December 2013), listeners to the 6 Music special, This Is Radio Clash, were pleasantly surprised to hear a message from Elvis Presley imitating David Bowie…or was it the other way around?

Make up your own mind here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p01nxvg7 (Linktree in bio)

For those of you that can’t access the BBC, here’s the text of the message to be read in a pretty convincing Elvis drawl: 

“Hello everybody, this is David Bowie making a telephone call from the US of A. At this time of the year, I can’t help but remember my British-ness and all the jolly British folk, so here’s to you and have yourselves a Merry little Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you very much.”

To complete the effect, one should perform the impersonation of Bowie’s take on Elvis over Johann Strauss Sr’s Radetzky March, Op. 228 on an Apple Mac so that the distinctive Mac volume control quack sound is audible on fade out.

David Bowie is pictured here with Paul Simonon of The Clash backstage at New York’s Shea Stadium when the band opened for The Who on October 12th, 1982.

The second image is Philip Castle’s rough for the Bowie/Elvis cover of the BBC Radio 1 1973 magazine, The Story Of Pop. Regular readers of this page will know well Castle’s work on Aladdin Sane.
