Absolute Ikea???

The Swedish worldwide furniture chain IKEA has a campaign running in Sweden called “Killar Kan” (roughly translated: “Guys can do it”). It´s a strange campaign where only men are allowed inside the store on one day, and women are only allowed in male company (kind of discriminating, eh?)…

Anyway, this campaign comes with a CD featuring various artists, one of them being none other than Mr. Bowie himself with the song “Absolute Beginners”.

Other artists include Weeping Willows and The Temptations. The CD which is called “An affordable rock´n´roll lifestyle” is published by EMG (cat.nr 20002-2).

I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
Gimme a sofa, for chrissake…

sorry, couldn’t resist…
