Def Leppard - Ziggy Stardust Lyrics






Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And The spiders from Mars, he played it left hand
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan

So where were the spiders
While the rats tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands, oh

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar

Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band, oh

Oh yeah, ooooooh
Now, Ziggy played guitar

    Very few recordings turn out better than the original. This rocks. RIP Bowie

  4. r.... e....

    This is a great version of the song. Jo has a great voice for it . The girl in audience in front of him blonde hair and in black. She looks hot

  5. K.... P....

    I’ve sought this out several times, but every time I’m floored. It’s a pure authentic performance and extraordinarily well Done!

  11. D.... T....

    I love how he's trying to look like Kurt.. Bowie song, acoustic set, cashmere sweater. Hmmm

    D.... T....

    When you're twice as old as someone , you don't usually "try" to look like anyone especially when you're Joe Elliot????

  12. A.... R....

    Deffleapord you're great R. I. P

  13. M.... J....

    I love this version and have a feeling Def Leopard will sing this in their next concert for David. I feel David Bowie deserves a tribute concert like the one for Freddie Mercury. If it happens Def Leopard must be included!!!

  14. j.... d....

    I love Joe, but I think if they took this instrumentation and had Bowie sing it, it would be the perfect version of this song.

  36. S.... K....

    Best cover IMO.

  37. D.... D....

    I love Def Lep! This is an amazing cover. However, it can't be better than the original because without Bowie it would not exist. So the original actually IS the best. Sorry! Haha :)

  38. I.... T....

    I love it, real musicians, every single one of 'em.

  39. P.... R....

    @ReticGirl Glad to find some one who agrees with me

  40. P.... R....

    @thedrunkenturtlee it is just my opinion thats all Bowie is a legend but I still like this version better

  41. C.... A....

    @The80swildchild gah, how can you say that?! It's an amazing cover but Bowie is just perfection.

  42. P.... R....

    Greatest version of this song ever. Sorry Bowie fans

    P.... R....

    bowie is the master in all, changing genres and sounds, leppard sucks. That's why they are doing a cover..

  43. E.... F....

    Excellent!

  44. D.... H....

    Shitty.

  45. S.... A....

    OMG*-*
    I loved this one...It's amazing

  46. A.... ....

    Wow, what a great version :D

  47. C.... W....

    i miss the old days of def leppard , but they still rock

  48. E.... A....

    After Def Leppard lost Steve Clark, the passion was gone :0(

  49. a.... g....

    the best version I heard in whole youtube...sorry David B

  50. A.... ....

    No one compared to Bowie, but this is a good cover, better tan bauhaus`s.

  51. G.... ....

    I love their version of the Mott the Hoople hit All the Young Dudes (the Cybernauts I mean). I can tell you are a 70's glam fan...me too. T-Rex, Mott the Hoople, The Sweet, ELO, Free, Bowie, UFO, Slade, and more! The YEAH! album is awesome! All the classics covered by my favorite band!

  52. Z.... ....

    This shows a whole other side of Def Leppard than alot of fans are used to or have ever even heard.
    A great Lep CD to check out that most people have never even heard of is called Cybernauts...its actually just Joe, Phil and 3 guys from Bowies old band doing covers of mostly David Bowie songs as well as a few others. A rare CD, i ordered my copy off ebay from Japan.
    Also pick up Leps CD Yeah! If you havent yet. Its all Def Leppard doing covers of bands that influenced them over the years.

  53. D.... ....

    Dude it may be different from Bowie but doesn't mean better! still i LOVE this cover! <3

  54. m.... ....

    def leppard does this song WAY! better than Bowie!!

    m.... ....

    mitchman721 😂

  55. b.... ....

    As in all good things, in music we are all connected. It is just more obvious with the exceptional artists like David Bowie...and Def Leppard.

  56. g.... ....

    lub this cover

  57. a.... ....

    video was recorded at the Wapentake Club, October 1995

  58. G.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL!!! One of my favorite groups covering one of my favorite songs. Wonderful performance. Gotta love this!

  59. l.... ....

    i dont know the name of the place that they filmed this at, doesnt say on the DVD. sorry
