"Blue Jean"
The song is from album "Tonight" (1984), is written by Bowie and was released as a single ahead of the album.
Loosely inspired by Eddie Cochran,[1] the song was an uncomplicated composition, recalling earlier Bowie rockers such as "The Jean Genie," and is generally regarded as one of the better parts of a disappointing album.
Following the huge commercial success of Bowie's previous album, Let's Dance, its singles and the Serious Moonlight Tour, "Blue Jean" was launched with massive promotion. Julien Temple was engaged to direct a 21-minute short film to promote the song, Jazzin' for Blue Jean.[1] The song performance segment from this was also used as a more conventional music video.
"Blue Jean" was a hit in the UK and America, reaching No. 6 and No. 8, respectively.
The song would remain in Bowie's live repertoire for the rest of his career, being performed on tours in 1987, 1990 and 2004.
