QUIZLET:
In the popular song Ashes to Ashes by David
Bowie, what is the first line of the first
refrain?
(Just so you know, the refrain of ‘Ashes
to Ashes’ is the bit where he goes “Ashes
to Ashes”)
If you said “Ashes to Ashes”, you are
wrong. Listen:
“Ashes to ashen;”
On both vocal tracks, David enunciates “Ashes
to Ashen”. Let’s listen again.
“Ashes to ashen, funk;”
There goes my monetisation.
There is no “s” in the third word, except
for this one.
This is true in the first refrain, but not
the second. He says “Ashes” there.
This is thereby how the song goes.
David has since got this lyric wrong in every
live performance I could find.
WAKE UP, SHEEPLOIDS
