You may be aware that certain VHS copies of Yeah Right contained a different soundtrack to the one you are most familiar with, here and the next page being examples. In the original version of the Chocolate montage, the drum roll kicks in with perfect timing as Chico Brenes pops a varial flip out of manual. Later on Chris Roberts’ selection of lengthy grinds (22:55 – 23:12) are met with Bowie’s drawn out yawn of ‘Faaaaame’ whilst he’s either mid grind or timed to start as four wheels hit the floor. Be sure to also take note of Chris’ switch 180 revert back to regular manual at 23:16 too. Following on, Richard Carvalo’s slams time up perfectly with the crash of symbols, after which he springs a nollie inward heelflip to manual.

‘Fame’s entertaining beat could be considered to sway more towards funk more than rock. What that in mind it’s worth noting that in 1983 Bowie collaborated with The Chic Organisation’s Nile Rodgers on the album Let’s Dance, so perhaps this is what sparked Bowie’s interest those waters. The slightly raised tempo towards the end nicely meets Scott Johnson’s skating which is faster than others in this section. This simmers down into a seemingly endless outro with Kenny Anderson casually rounding off the part in style. Watch the alternate version here;
