'cause love's such an old fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves; this is our last dance this is our last dance this is ourselves, under pressure
^^^ these are great lyrics

I think the main problem about this is that Queen were in the middle of a really fruitless period. After all, they released their two worst ever albums just before and just after this single.
And Bowie - in spite of "Let's Dance" and some "Tonight" tracks being quite good - was about to lose it artistically too, as evident by later work.

Classic for people in bars who start accidentally singing "Ice Ice Baby" along to it and the people who mock them. Dud for everyone who lives in the East Village and/or LES and doesn't just party there on the weekends.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jul/13/david-bowie-recorded-songs-with-queen-that-never-got-releasedWould love to hear them tear through "All The Young Dudes" and "All The Way From Memphis", let alone the original material..
