Glimmer rock artist on the rise, Vienna Vienna, is paying homage to one of his greatest influences with a cover of David Bowie’s track, “John, I’m Only Dancing.” Known for his vibrant, shimmering sound, Vienna Vienna brings his unique edge to the song, stripping down the instrumentation while amplifying Bowie’s signature theatricality. The result is a modern alternative take that nods to the original’s bold energy while embracing Vienna Vienna’s distinctive style.

When asked about putting his spin on the track, Vienna Vienna shared, “Look, I don’t do replicas, he would’ve hated that. I try to carry his virtuoso with me, while always staying true. If Bowie is Christ then I guess I’m born-again. What an honor.”

The Bowie cover tune follows the success of Vienna Vienna’s debut EP, Wonderland, released via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz’s label DCD2, which dropped in October. The EP, celebrated for its dynamic exploration of identity and queerness, has solidified Vienna Vienna as a rising voice in the modern alt-rock scene.

John, I'm only dancing

She turns me on But I'm only dancing [Verse 1]

She turns me on But I'm only dancing

  • [Verse 1]
  • Well, Annie's pretty neat
  • She always eats her meat
  • Joe is awful strong

Bet your life he's putting us on Oh Lordy, oh Lordy

  • You know I need some loving
  • Move me, touch me
  • [Chorus]
  • John, I'm only dancing

She turns me on But I'm only dancing

She turns me on But don't get me wrong

I'm only dancing

[Verse 2]

Ah, shadow love was quick and keen Life's a well-thumbed machine

I saw you watching from the stairs You're everyone who ever cared

  • You know I need some loving
  • Move me, touch me
  • [Chorus]
  • John, I'm only dancing

She turns me on But I'm only dancing

She turns me on But don't get me wrong I'm only dancing

Dancing

John I'm Only Dancing
