The track spent 13 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at No.2, making it Bowie's biggest hit to date. The line "He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module" would later give the band Simple Minds their name."

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the official music video of David Bowie performing The Jean Genie in honor the fact that on "October 6, 1972 during sessions at RCA Studios, New York City, David Bowie recorded 'The Jean Genie', which became the lead single from his 1973 album Aladdin Sane. The track spent 13 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at No.2, making it Bowie's biggest hit to date."
"The Jean Genie"
Lyrics
"A small Jean Genie
Snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers
And slash back blazers
Ate all your razors
While pulling the waiters
Talking bout Monroe
And walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go
And everything tastes right
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man
But he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but
Just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand,
Won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician
And sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair
For making up underwear
Poor little Greenie
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
He's so simple minded
He can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!"

Sometimes I wonder where the bands got their names...good piece of trivia. And a good song.
