In the classic Bowie song titled 'Golden Years', there is a lyric which reads "Angel, come get up my baby."

How dare you talk to Angela in that manner. You male chauvinist!

And why is it "my baby" and not "our baby'.



Men. You're all alike.


Float on a river forever and ever.

Oh, for crying in Amlapura! Angel and Baby were terms of endearment to his(then) bride, and I thought they sounded romantic (Bo-Mantic?) and charming in that context.
Chauvinist, my left eyelash!

LOL.


I think Bippity missed out a comma which changes the whole meaning of the lyric.


"Angel! Come get up, my baby."

He's telling his 'angel' to get up and not be down. He's not asking Angela to wake their baby (who would have been about 5 by then). I doubt any man has ever asked for a baby to be woken.

Some poeple think Bowie is singing "come wallop my baby".

Mr. Bowie was calling ANGIE his baby. Baby as in "Sweetheart." The Gentleman was telling his bride to get up from her pit of sorrow and not to be disheartened and it had NOTHING to do with babies or children in general or little Zowie in particular

I'm sure you're not really grumpy Sparks old girl..it's prolly just your 'grumpy face'

Is that Spakina in the avatar? looks like she has nice hair...

No, it's not me in the avatar, it's David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King

That's right, Sparkina. 'Angel' is Angie. I didn't spell that obvious bit of info out in my previous post.



This song is interesting when compared to TMWFTE. Both recorded / filmed around the same time and both portray a young man with a depressed wife.

I wonder if Nicolas Roeg looked at DB's relationship with Angie at the time for inspiration.

How very dare you!
