that turntable scratch in the intro rules.
supremely cool song, amazing production. You can really hear Bowie's "Ziggy" sound on this, especially the background vocal bits.
<i>And dressed as you are girl In your fashions of fate</i> is a great line.

"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" was released in 1972, whereas "Electric Warrior" was released in 1971, when Bowie was releasing "Hunky Dory".

I am an ENORMOUS Bowie fan, don't get me wrong, and I have only recently turned on to (and thoroughly enjoyed) T. Rex. But dare I say, considering timelines, I'm going to have to agree with Child-Star, and suggest that maybe the background vocal influence was the other way around, perhaps? Bowie didn't use that background vocal style on Hunky Dory or his previous three albums.
