MGMT vs. Bowie: The song went on forever

Q: How does David Bowie change a light bulb?

A: He doesn't. He just prays to the light machine.

Ba-dum-cheesh. Sucker for lame jokes though I may be, the above holds a special place in my repertoire of terrible puns because of how spot on it's characterization of Bowie is- even as a punchline, the man born David Jones exudes such a perfectly unique mysticism that space-rockers since can only hope to inspire similar wonderment.

It's what sets him apart as an artist, and what sets that joke apart from other groan-worthy music lightbulb jokes like, say:

Q: How many Smiths fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: None, because there is a light and it never goes out.

I best stop while I'm ahead.

Below, a superb meeting of zero-gravity superjams past and present. Only the true stewards of the scene could devise such a faithfully galactic track. Adrian & D's Bootie NYC, featuring DJ Lobsterdust, hits BLVD down on Bowery 2/20.
