Running at almost seven minutes, the song was the longest track on Scary Monsters, and Bowie's longest composition since "Station to Station" four years prior in 1976. Music and lyricsThe song's original title was "It Happens Everyday". Producer Tony Visconti said "Instead of singing 'Not another teenage wildlife' [Bowie] would sing 'It happens everyda-a-ay.'"[1] Against a musical backdrop that owed much to his classic song "Heroes", including textural guitar work from both Robert Fripp and Chuck Hammer, and adds wandering phrases following his lyrical paragraphs, Bowie appeared to take aim squarely at his post-punk artistic godchildren, particularly Gary Numan:[2] A broken-nosed mogul are you In a 1980 interview, Bowie commented on Numan and his "whiz-kid world": {{quote|What Numan did he did excellently but in repetition, in the same information coming over again and again, once you've heard one piece.... It's that false idea of hi-tech society and all that which is... doesn't exist. I don't think we're anywhere near that sort of society. It's an enormous myth that's been perpetuated unfortunately, I guess, by readings of what I've done in that rock area at least, and in the consumer area television has an awful lot to answer for with its fabrication of the computer-world myth.[3]}} Singer Boy George has said that his all-time favourite lyric was "As ugly as a teenage millionaire".[4]In a 2008 article in the Mail On Sunday , Bowie said that his vocal performance on the song was an imitation of Ronnie Spector.[5]{{unreliable source|date=October 2018}} Cover versionsThe song was covered by Northern Irish rock band Ash for their compilation album A-Z Vol.2. This single was covered by the band Deadsy. Personnel
