Ziggy, Derek and Clive, 1973


It should have been a match made in showbiz heaven. A coming together of the glam rocker from outer space with the foul-mouthed Oxbridge-educated comedians.

Unfortunately, the union between Ziggy Stardust and Derek and Clive was a brief one.
Sadly, no recordings survive, only a short written note - the extract of a work in progress - of a re-working of 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' with new lyrics:

"Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly. He got his cock caught in a mangle. The fucking stupid cunt."
This tantalising glimpse of the coming together of these oustanding talents leaves fans the world over mourning what might have been.
