It was produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti and features lead guitar by Robert Fripp. Like the album as a whole, the song demonstrates the influence of German Krautrock.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} The track is in part a tribute to performance artist Chris Burden,[1] who was famous for having himself nailed to a Volkswagen in 1974 ("Nail me to my car and I'll tell you who you are") and for having an assistant shoot him in the arm at an art gallery in 1971 ("Guess you'll buy a gun / You'll buy it secondhand"). "Joe the Lion" has also been seen as reflecting Bowie's struggle to overcome the emotional numbness that appeared to permeate his previous album Low ("You get up and sleep").[2] Bowie played the song live on the 1983 Serious Moonlight and 1995 Outside tours, and was considered (but ultimately not performed) for his 1987 Glass Spider Tour.
