Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of David Bowie performing Ashes to Ashes in honor of the fact that on August 23, 1980, - David Bowie was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Ashes To Ashes' his second UK No.1.

"Ashes To Ashes" written by David Bowie
Lyrics
'Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too.
I've loved. All I've needed: love.
Sordid details following."

The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh, no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too."
One flash of light
But no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue,
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mama said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom."
My mama said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom."
My mama said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom."
My mama said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom."
One classic David Bowie song inspires me to post a few more
