The Laughing Gnome by David Bowie

About The Laughing Gnome

Follow-up single to the surprise flop Rubber Band. Released in April '67 and backed by the equally sublime The Gospel According To Tony Day, this was to be the combination that turned Bowie's fortunes around and make him a worldwide superstar. A visionary, avant-garde piece of pop terrorism from the young Mr. Bowie that still sounds as relevant today as it did back in the Summer of Love, the song climbed steadily up the charts for six years until it peaked at number 6 with a bang in 1973 .
