I guess it was Phil Palmer and not Carlos Alomar who did that cool menacing guitar line on “Dumb Dumb Boys”. That part is really ace.
“Funtime” is one of the most krautock sounding tunes of the Iggy/Bowie Germany sets.

Bowie played the original guitar, came with the line; Palmer may have imitated it

I'll probably vote Funtime for this line alone: Down in the basement just the other day / Talking to Dracula and his crew

Any answer other than "Dum Dum Boys" is laughably wrong.

Ended up voting for "Nightclubbing" but yeah "Dum Dum Boys" is right there.

Oh man, only one vote for "Tiny Girls"... not that I voted for it.

I voted 'Funtime' but that live clip of 'Dum Dum Boys' Bee OK posted upthread is incredible - I can't stop watching it, so much queasy energy.

Results like this are one of my fave things on ILX.
And shout out to Alex In NYC who's apparently returned!

I voted for "Dum Dum Boys" from memory; gave it a listen last night and found it just as moving as I used to.

This thread eventually led me to this youtube channel from Dennis Davis's young son, who made a series of documentaries about his late dad talking to Tony Visconti, Carlos Alomar, etc. It's sweet and sad and illuminating, with lots of great studio footage, Visconti bringing up the original session files, etc.
