* This crosses over with {{Narm}}, but the music video for Bowie and [[Music/TheRollingStonesBand Mick Jagger's]] cover of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4jnaznUoQ Dancing in the Street]]" is actually funnier if you watch it with the sound off.

** And then there's the lyrics, which describe the advantages of being a boy. Although the song makes a serious point, song of the things Bowie mentions are either so [[MundaneMadeAwesome mundane]] ("You can buy a home of your own!
