"D.J." is a song by English musician David Bowie, released on 29 June 1979 as the second single from his 1979 album Lodger. It was written by Bowie, Brian Eno and Carlos Alomar and recorded in Montreux and New York City in September 1978 and March 1979. A cynical comment on the cult of the DJ, the track includes a guitar solo by Adrian Belew, which was recorded in multiple takes, and then mixed back together for the album track. Bowie mimics David Byrne of Talking Heads in his vocal performance. Its accompanying music video, directed by David Mallet, features Bowie casually walking down London's Earl's Court Road as passersby recognise him and follow him, interjected with Bowie as the tortured DJ destroying his studio. The single charted at number 29 in the UK and has received positive rev

  • DJ is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht als de tweede single van zijn album Lodger uit 1979. Het nummer is bedoeld als cynisch commentaar op de diskjockey. Het nummer staat bekend om de gitaarsolo van Adrian Belew, die in meerdere takes was opgenomen en bij elkaar werden geplakt om de uiteindelijke solo te vormen. In een biografie van de Talking Heads wordt beschreven dat dit nummer een poging was van Bowie om te zingen als David Byrne, die Bowie's producer Brian Eno net had bevriend. Het nummer werd ietwat ingekort om als single te kunnen fungeren, maar was nog steeds niet commercieel genoeg om een grote hit te worden - het bleef steken op de 29e plaats in het Verenigd Koninkrijk en werd in de rest van de wereld niet uitgebracht.

  • "DJ" é uma canção do músico britânico David Bowie, lançada no álbum Lodger, de 1979, e depois como single, em 29 de junho do mesmo ano. A canção é considerada um comentário cínico sobre o culto ao DJ, sendo célebre pelo solo de guitarra de Adrian Belew, que foi gravado em várias tomadas e, depois, mixado de forma reunida. Numa biografia do Talking Heads, é dito que "DJ" é uma tentativa de Bowie de cantar como David Byrne, que, na época, estava auxiliando Brian Eno. O single contém uma versão editada da faixa, mas ainda assim a canção provavelmente não foi comercial o suficiente para obter sucesso de vendas efetivo - a canção chegou ao n°29 no Reino Unido e não foi lançada em outros mercados. O single foi lançado em vinil verde no Reino Unido, sendo hoje um item de coleção muito desejado. A canção foi tocada ao vivo pela primeira vez na , em 1995 e 1996. (pt)
