There’s a great outtake from the recording of this song that came to light just after we recorded this episode. In it, Bowie sings in the style of Bruce Springsteen, Anthony Newley, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and others.

Can’t remember where I heard that, but it sure sounded fishy. Thanks for clearing that up!
