Subject	1986 singles Virgin Records singles David Bowie songs Songs written by David Bowie Music videos directed by Julien Temple
abstract	%22Absolute Beginners%22 was the theme tune to the film of the same name (itself an adaptation of the book Absolute Beginners), composed and performed by David Bowie.Bowie was good friends with the film's director, Julien Temple (who had worked with him in 1984 on the Jazzin' for Blue Jean short film), and landed both the supporting role of Vendice Partners, and the deal to record the theme tune.The sessions, at Abbey Road Studios, were set up in a novel way, with a group of session musicians all receiving a card to work at the studio with %22Mr X%22, who turned out to be Bowie. The sessions were completed rapidly, but the song was delayed due to the problems with completing the film. Virgin wanted the release to tie in with the film's opening. Shortly after the sessions wrapped, Mick Jagger flew in to record %22Dancing in the Street%22, which used many of the same musicians. The song fused 1950s-style doo-wop with Bowie's 1980s sound.The single reached No. 2 in the UK charts, and No. 53 in America. Bowie has since performed it live on his Glass Spider and 2000 tours. And this song featured Rick Wakeman on piano, it was the third time those two musicians worked together, after Bowie's Space Oddity single and the Hunky Dory album.
