IS this really a "re-telling"? I remember reading an interview w/ Mr. Schilling in which he claimed he had never even heard the Bowie song, and that it (the subject matter) was a coincidence. I am not going to change the article b/c I can't cite my info, but I will look and see what I can come up with.

Yes, and it could also be something a bored Schilling told an interviewer just to have a bit of fun with them. Very unlikely to be a coincidence. MaxVolume (talk) 19:48, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe that neither this article about the song, nor the Peter Schilling article, address any of the criticism received or any of Bowie's reaction / acceptance / distain for this singer cashing in on Bowie's popular trademarked character (who Bowie had just a few years before Schilling already made a sequel song called Ashes to Ashes). 50.34.193.129 (talk) 06:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
