The story of ‘Under Pressure’, ....when the great David Bowie would drop by for a casual chat with copious amounts of cocaine before attempting to lay down the vocals on one of the century’s undying hits....

... David said, ‘Okay, let’s each of us go in the vocal booth and sing how we think the melody should go—just off the top of our heads—and we’ll compile a vocal out of that’.”..

... Bowie also insisted that he and Mercury shouldn’t hear what the other had sung, swapping verses blind, which helped give the song its cut-and-paste feel.”

However, with all the animosity, wine, cocaine and vocal battles—which helped come together to birth the song—you’d imagine the track to be a car crash. However, what remains is an incredibly powerful and poignant pop song that we will likely not see matched in our lifetimes..

the fatso's most memorable posts on hc - are after he has drunk copious amounts of port ... just imagine how much better his best posts would be , if he was also high on cocaine

Theres nothing "great" about someone dropping by with drugs. Bowie should do some jail time.
