Hate hate hate that sax! In rock and roll, sax needs to be playful or unique if it's a focal instrument, or used sparingly for emphasis. Otherwise it so easily runs into cheese. Sorry, I don't have any Bowie song edits. I just needed to get that off my chest. Oy, they are reading my mind with The Cure’s ‘A Night Like This.’ Hate hate hate that sax!

Get Gail Ann a bass with some flat wound strings and let her go to town. I don't think the song is meant to be funky in the context of the album, but as a stand-alone piece in a show it could be considerabely more funked up.

I think the live version of the song performed at the BBC Radio Theatre in 2000 with no harmonica and Earl Slick on guitar kicks the original's ass.
