Where is it from? A live jam perhaps?


Shrinking Jimmy

(Emm Gryner/Holly Palmer/David Bowie/Mark Plati/Campbell/Garson/Dorsey/Hamilton)

Jimmy shrink that shirt again tonight
'Cos you know how much I love it when it's tight
Jimmy, Jimmy, shrink the shirt again!
Shrink that shirt again
Let's just be friends
(Shrink it one time)
Shrink that shirt again
Let's just be friends now Jimmy
You know how much I loved that shirt
And you know how much I love you
I miss you so much Jimmy
But when you're not here
I put that shirt on
And when I put that shirt on
And it stretches so tight across my nipples
I feel you Jimmy
You're here with me
Come back Jimmy
Come back...

Well, 100% Brit (and apparently proud of it) is being a bit over the top when he says 8 hours [of Outside outtakes]. I'd love to know the truth concerning what 100% Git really has ~ Reeves Gabrels, 2003

Yes, it was an impromptu song done mostly by the backupsingers in Copenhagen in 1999. It was to make fun of the fact that one of the roadies had shrunk one of Bowie's shirts.

Cheers Maarten.

A joke song about a washing accident ... now I understand.

Maybe a few subtle changes (like replacing "shirt" with "head") could give this song a deeper meaning for some parts of the world.

Don't you get a shrinking jimmy when you jump into a cold pool?????

I didn't know that term but yes, I know what you mean.

Holly and Emm have preformed "Jimmy, Shrink That Shirt Again" with Holly as the lead vocal voice in the show in Vega, Copenhagen - Denmark - 1999.

Bowie said "Not only is this the last show of our tour, but it's my last show this century" in front of an audience of only 1200...but I was there
