Okay, I know this is kind of a well known, outplayed song...still, it is a classic...and so much fun to listen to.

17 Aug 03 ·FlyingDutchman1971: Great song! The 'Best of Bowie' DVD set features a great live performance of this song from the Dick Cavett show. 17 Aug 03 ·VichyFrance: The best part of the song is the nonsensical ranting that precedes the "ain't there one damn song..." line. Coke-era Bowie was great at that fast paced mumbo jumbo.
Belle and Sebastian are great. This particul song is light and summery and will make you feel like you are laying in the grass on a warm, breezy summer day.

Matisyahu is a hasidic Jew who sings reggae music...really, really well.
"Bob Nesta said it best, everything will be alright...introspect, connect the sects, and let this music make you fly..."
07 Oct 05 ·sinferno: yeah, this guy is badass. i recommend. 03 Jan 06 ·Nesta: Yeah for sure. I find the music of Matisyahu a refreshing blast of inspiring music for any occasion. Im amazed at how well his lyrics flow with his hip-hop/reggae beats. His story is unique too. Check out his website.... matisyahu.org King without a Crown has got to be one of the catchiest tunes I have heard in awhile.
