![]() John from Monvtille, NjThe riff rocks.Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScThis song is funny!! I love it, and the riff is pretty cool too.Alex from Fort Mill, ScThe Pink Floyd song Arnold Layne is also about a cross dresser.Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScIs :Arnold Lane" a good song.Rachel from South Point, OhThis song has THE BEST backing guitar of all time.Steve from Midland, Midoes have a sweet guitar part. ![]() Dennis from Anchorage, AkIt is a great guitar riff, but the rest of the arrangement is also very cool, the bass line and the unusual drum part, hitting the snare on every beat instead of the usual rock backbeat.Louis, MoSeu Jorge plays this on the acoustic guitar in the life aquatic, it sounds great Mel from South Australia, Australiafor like EVER i thought the line 'you tore your dress' was 'antonio banderes'.oops how embarrassing!.Andy from London, Englandsurely the filthiest guitar riff in musical history?.Julia is the hot tramp in the song, er, so I've heard! The main character, Winston, meets a girl called Julia, who sleeps around, wears sexy clothes and generally rebels. In it, having relationships and sex for fun was illegal. Paul from Derry, IrelandI'd read somewhere that this song was based on the novel 1984 by George Orwell.Mom got very irritated when I kept singing the hook over and over again in the car. Voodoocat from Zimbabwe, United StatesFirst time I heard this song was in a Ross'.This song makes me want to crossdress immediatly! Joe from Notttingham, EnglandThough i havn't heard the diamond dogs/1984 theory before and so have no evidence to say anything about the album as a whole, i can definatly say that it seems a bit of a stretch to apply it to julia in 1984, who doesn't even rebel so much as to wear a dress if i recall correctly.Julia is a member of the anti-sex league "Doesnt know if you're a boy or a girl" and at one part state who she wants ato get a dress, which is a forbidden object "rebel, rebel, put on your dress" its about Winston and Julia being rebelious towards the party and Big Brother. Jess from Cape Town, South AfricaOk did anyone read 1984? Diamond Dogs was based on the book and this song depicts Julia in 1984.Kayla from Bloomington, InI agree with Nessie (Sapporo, Japan)! And this song does have a great riff.one thing tho, "Walk On The Wild Side" by Lou Reed was a song about tansvestites, not only one. Lila from San Diego, Calove this song, really do, i love a lot of songs, and this is one of them.The gender bending is far out when you're twenty, youth is extravagant, after all. Kenny from Clydebank, ScotlandIt's the guitar riff and the music that make this song a standard.I love the lyrics, very free spirited song That sets the whole rebelious mood for the song. Allie from Pine Knob, MiI LOVE the guitar at the begining of this song.He made a lot of images of rock stars in his compelling book 'Rock Dreams'. Reuben from Amsterdam, NetherlandsGuy Pellaert is actually a Belgian artist.Bowie plays a very truncated version of "Rebel Rebel" on the "Storytellers" CD/DVD, which is a shame, but the story about is early days chumming about with Marc Bolan is a gem. Paul from Rothesay, Nb, CanadaI do believe this song was written during the Ziggy Stardust sessions but was cut from the album because it didn't fit the concept.Tom from Warrington, United KingdomBowie,if i`m not mistaken said the song was about going out with billy doll,and his mothers reaction to the way billy dressed,hence she`s not sure if he`s a boy or a girl.I have to assume he is talking about a Joan Jett looking female. In opposition, had it been a boy that looked like a girl, this song would have been given an "XX' rating and not have been allowed to be sold. The closet door was still closed and locked. Now I would doubt that any gay men were saying you look divine in the early 70's. However, short-haired women were still quite unusual and would cause someone to question. This is the early 70's, so long hair on men was not at all unusual. Dan from OhFirst of all, the question is gay or not gay? Boy looking like a girl, or girl looking like a boy? I think when determining the meaning of a song, you have to either go to the source (Bowie) or think about things.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Downtown Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Warner Chappell Music, Inc. What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too You wanna be there when they count up the dudes You got your cue line and a handful of ludes You've got your transmission and your live wire You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test You've torn your dress, your face is a mess You've got your mother in a whirl 'cause she's
