“Queen of all the Tarts” updated

To my ears, this fairly obscure piece of music sounds like an overture, and, Bowie chronicler Nicholas Pegg reminds me that it was. Though I don’t actually remember hearing it used this way, “Queen of All the Tarts” was played over the sound system before the concert actually began during the Reality Tour. The song is almost an instrumental except for Bowie repeatedly singing, “Queen of…” and “Queen of all the tarts.” At the end of the day this is a minor piece of music, but I like it.

I post “updates” on songs when the video link I originally used breaks down.

What I originally wrote on Day 223, August 26, 2016:
I forgot about this song, which was included on a short bonus disc with the Reality album. I recently uploaded that disc to my iPod and this came up on shuffle. Instant “new” Bowie song. And it’s delightful. Though there’s not much here in the way of lyrics, it’s a fun, up-beat piece of music that you probably haven’t heard before, or if you have it probably has been a while Album: Reality bonus disc
