Hey Paul, I was just listening to this one about an hour ago - you posted it awhile back as part of a Bowie-like song competition or something like that, I believe? And it's still a cool tune!

And since you've recorded it, you don't need his permission!

Paul, I think most stars/musicians enjoy a bit of parody or imitation, so if you were actually seriously considering getting an informal or formal "OK", you could contact Bowie's "people".

For his management-publicity that would be:

The Outside Organisation, Ltd.

I believe the one who works most directly with DB is agent Alan Edwards, his Email addy is:

alane@outside-org.co.uk

another person would be Julian Stockton -

julians@outside-org.co.uk

Usually when I email somebody who I know must always have full plate to handle I write as the subject line: "quick note to -person's name- ". (And it's not easy for my to cut down on my verbosity, mind you!) I make sure I don't use a freebie service to email, e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail, but rather my own domain's mail or my regular ISP addy.

I think if you mentioned that you where just having some fun with it, but wanted to be sure it would meet with their approval, it might get a positive response. And including a link to the MP3, mentioning it's under 1 minute in length would be helpful. (time is money and all that, you know, lol)

If they're cool with it, you could send them a few signed "thank you" CDs.

Or you could just go ahead, press the CD and let the chips fall as they may, hahaha!

One of me mates, along with some other fellows, recorded a parody of Shania Twain's hit "Any Man Of Mine" in the 90s, re-doing it as "Any Gal O' Mine" - in the line of a "git in that kitchen & cook, gal!" concept. Later on, when Shania heard it, she thought it was great good fun and had a hearty laugh.

I once mentioned David to her and it pissed her off so much that she didn't talk to me for about 3 months.

Later she appologized - touchy subject :grab

Is it a parody of a song Paul? Is it a David Bowie song that you've changed the lyrics of? You could simply contact the publishing company (find on CD) - or pay Harry Fox the fee to licence it onto your CD!

Anyone can cover ANY song and put onto a CD of their own - they just have to pay a mechanical royalty fee. And yeah many don't, if chance turns out that you sell zillions of the album, you can back-date payments!

The only time you need to ask the songwriters permission is if you're using it for advertising. (TV, radio, adverts etc.)

I just listened by the way ahahahahahahaha
