Sorry, I'd already copied Fiona's scoreboard when you posted your scores, I was so excited to dispose of Slade that I forgot to add your plus scores too!

China Girl is better than Modern Love, pass it on

 

Maybe China Girl isn't Bowie's (and Iggy Pop's) most innovative song, but I don't think it has to be.

It's a perfect 80's song full of drama, an addictive bassline and absolutely dance-inspiring.

I love China Girl, it's my favorite 80's Bowie song
