BOWIE ~ UNCLE FLOYD ~ TOY SESSIONS 2001

Opening track from the unreleased Toy album recorded before Heathen in 2001 but widely available having been leaked in 2011 Uncle Floyd was later reworked as Slipaway for Heathen Davids everlasting search for left-of-center found fresh fodder, courtesy of Floyd Vivino. The Glen Rock native's low-budget, quirky children's program "The Uncle Floyd Show" was the source of inspiration for Bowie's track "Slip Away," released on 2002's "Heathen." Bowie was turned on to the local cable show during its late-'70s heyday, while he spent significant time working in New York, NJArts.org writes, noting that John Lennon might have introduced Bowie to the show. "Oogie waits for just another day ... " the haunting, dream-pop tune begins, referencing Floyd's trusty clown puppet. Fellow "Floyd" character Bones Boy is also mentioned throughout. The chorus continues: "Sailing over Coney Island / Twinkle twinkle, Uncle Floyd / we were dumb / but you were fun, boy / How I wonder where you are." Here's an excerpt from Bowie's 2002 account of the song's origin, from davidbowie.com. "Back in the late 70's, everyone that I knew would rush home at a certain point in the afternoon to catch the Uncle Floyd show. He was on UHF Ch: 68 and the show looked like it was done out of his living room in New Jersey. All his pals were involved and it was a hoot. It had that Soupy Sales kind of appeal and though ostensibly aimed at kids, I knew so many people of my age who just wouldn't miss it. We would be on the floor it was so funny. Two of the regulars on the show were Oogie and Bones Boy, ridiculous puppets made out of ping-pong balls or somesuch. They feature in the song. I just loved that show."
