David Bowie:
"There's nothing like the oldies.
 Ah, thanks a lot.  OK, let's move on."
 We'll jump right back to 1970.  This song, I'm very proud to have written.
 Ah, It's been covered no end of times.
 And ah, I guess at the time it was considered a a signature song for me.
 Um, this is called'The Man Who Sold The World'."
