he he. It does seem like homophobia to refuse to see what this song is actually about. Bowie was claiming to be gay at the time, and he has gone on record about what this song is about. It is about a gay couple, one of whom dances with a girl, and then hads to placate his boyfriend "John, I'm only dancing." nothing to do with cockney slang either :)
