Crazy Facts About Music Everyone Should Know (Pt.227) #musicfacts #musichistory #musicshorts #shorts

Did you know? In the early 80s, David Bowie invited Stevie Ray Vaughn to play on Let's Dance with a promise of an opening tour slot, but Vaughn quit when restricted to backup and released Texas Flood, launching his career. Björk’s 1995 song It's Oh So Quiet is a cover of Betty Hutton's 1951 B-side, itself a remake of earlier French and German versions. The Stooges' management once staged a stunt with Elton John in a gorilla suit, but Iggy Pop, thinking it was real, attempted to fight the "gorilla" mid-concert.

Iggy fighting Elton John in a gorilla suit is top tier hilarity 😂😂😂

[CraigHollabaugh]

SRV's solo on Let's Dance is awesome.

[MurrayFiske-remv]

I like that Iggy Pops reaction to what he thought was a real gorilla was to fight it

[jugga.lowlife]

Man iggy is wild asf... Hes like 75 now and still doing stage dives and stuff... 😅😂😅😂

[susankinsman]

Stevie Ray Vaughn died way too soon. He was so talented. RIP Stevie!!!

[aronkelley]

Remake of a remake of a remake of a remake 😂

[kemperboyd]

I knew it different: SRV's manager went to Bowie 2 weeks before the beginning of the tour, asking double money, thinking that he could not replace him. so Bowie fired SRV and took Earl Slick

[csnide]

not quite right with SRV... fact was Bowie only paid the scale wages and gave SRV no royalties on his guitar parts for "let's Dance" album. It was a pittance to what he could make on his own. Biggest mistake Bowie ever made.

[joevokey]

Bowie doing SRV dirty was a shit thang

[mariafisher]

Ohhh 😮😮😮 No Don't Hurt 🤕 Elton ❤❤❤❤❤

[scottcereghino]

Just makes me love Iggy Pop more lol! Crazy kid!

[DaleDenton-ovpg]

Iggy saw a fake gorilla, thought it was real, them proceeded to try and fight it? That's his idea of a good decision, to fight a gorilla 😂?

[irenedontoh]

So I take it that Elton John got the beating of his life from

[edeledeledel]

Iggy pop always took a large amount of LSD about 30 minutes before going on stage; his sets usually finished after about 30-40 minutes because he was so far out of it.

[CurtisThomas-lp]

A relatively unknown Luther Vandross was part of the Let's Dance album and tour

[kenvaughan]

Stevie Ray's last name was misspelled.
I'm this video they spell it Vaughn
It's spelled vaughAn

[elizabethbelflower]

In what universe could Stevie Ray Vaughan be considered a back up musician not the main act ? Good for Stevie for quitting and moving on with his career not letting this hold him back .Just goes to show you someone can be a legendary artist and still not know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to another artist's talent and potential .In this case David's arrogance and attitude was outdone by Stevie's humbleness and humility as an artist .I like both artists but Stevie Ray Vaughan was treated very badly in this arrangement .Oh well I guess it all worked out for the best for us SRV fans after all .RIP Stevie Ray and David .

"Unknown" to Bowie, by the way. NOT unknown in America.

[Surrealist_]

Damn 😮 Bowie was a jerk. I still love much of his music.

[kayden]

Bowie never promised SRV that. These clips always have their facts twisted.
