Alright, kiddoes, sorry it took so long for me to deliver this one, but I really wanted to make it good. However, I’m not sure all this time really improved it, because once again, I am writing this away from my DVDs, but I will do the very best I can at the synopsis, and you can add to it if you wish. Seriously, criticize away, folks!

So, in this episode, Murray starts out by doing a photo shoot with the boys. However, he’s having a problem photographing Bret because he thinks he looks too small. This is when we see the dramatic descent into Bret’s body image problem, which Jemaine mistakes as bulimia. One of my favorite parts in the episode is actually when Jemaine talks to Bret about that one time they went to a party, and the next day he said that Bret was “a little bulimic.” Good stuff.

Now, you might be getting sad, thinking, oh, poor Bret, he’s got to deal with his body image issues all alone. Never to fear, FotC fans, because David Bowie has come to the rescue. Bret is visited in his sleep several times by David Bowie, in many different stages of his career, and looking mysteriously like Jemaine. He tells Bret to do things like wear an eyepatch, basically things to make his mark and feel better about who he is.

This all seems kind of weird in the middle of the episode, but it pays off in the end, when they have a meeting with a greeting card company regarding the use of the song “Robots” in one of the cards. Bret does something very…revealing…to say the least. This episode is disgustingly funny, especially for David Bowie fans, so be sure to check it out.

Songs in the episode are “Bret, You’ve Got it Going On” and “Bowie.” Once again, many apologies for  the oh-so-heinous delay.

So, I know I missed the Episode of the Day, but that’s only momentarily, as I have to re-watch it to give a more thorough synopsis. So, for the time being, read the lyrics to the song “Bowie” and be inspired to think about your own ideas for what Episode 6 is like….or something like that. Forgive my laziness and enjoy this song.

Bowie’s in space
Bowie’s in space
Whatcha doin’ out there man?
That’s pretty freaky, Bowie.
What’s a rock musician doing out in space man?
Isn’t it cold, quite cold out there Bowie?
Do you need my jumper Bowie?
Does the space cold do funny things to your nipples, making them all pointy?
Bowie.
Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae transmitting data back to Earth?
Data back to Earth d-d-do, d-d-do, do do
I bet you do you freaky old bastard you

Is it lonely out there in space man, or is there life on Mars? Wouldn’t that be weird coz you wrote that song, ‘Is There Life on Mars’. You could write a follow up tune and call it ‘And There Is’

Mmmm, and there is yes there is.
There’s heaps of it and it’s all freaking out at my new look.
Bowie do you have one really funky sequined space suit, Bowie?
Or do you have several ch-ch-ch-ch- changes?
Space changes
Do they smoke grass out there in space man, or do they smoke Astroturf?

Receiving transmission from David Bowie’s nipple antennae. Do you read me, Lieutenant Bowie?

This is Bowie to Bowie, do you hear me out there man?
This is Bowie back to Bowie I read you loud and clear, man.
Oooh yeah man!
Your signal is weak on my radar screen. How far out are you man?
I’m pretty far out
That’s pretty far out man
I’m orbiting Pluto!
Drawn in by its grooveatational (grooveatational) pull
I’m jamming out with the Mick Jaggernauts
And they think it’s pretty cool, man.

Are you ok Bowie? What was that sound?
I don’t know man, I’ll have to turn my ship around.
Oh it’s the craziest thing
Yeah, I’m picking it up on my LSD screen.
Oooh, but can you see the stratosphere, ringing?
To the choir of Afronauts singing

Eeniee e ma ma meenie miny moey
Set your phasers on funky
Eeniee ma ma meenie miny moey
Pippew, pipew pipew, pew
Eenie, ma ma meenie minie miny moey
B-b-b-b Bowies in…..

Best things about this song: Nipple antennae, of course. Also, the fact that it’s about David Bowie. Also, that they slip his song references all up in this doohickey. Okay, and, also, because they’re in space. There really are no missteps in this song. It’s superb.
