...because of the Uncle Floyd tribute. WHAT THE FUCK IS BOWIE DOING SINGING ABOUT UNCLE FLOYD???? So The Ramones used to do his show a lot, so The Misfits did his show, as did Cyndi Lauper. To my knowledge, Bowie never appeared on the show. What gives? 'Spoon, can you shed light here??

Bowie, from May 23, 2002:

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 some such. They feature in the song. I just loved that show.

Wow, a kindred spirit. I used to watch that show daily on Ch 68 in the early 80's. Then one summer, Ch 68 turned into U-68 for the summer, then it disappeared and Floyd moved to WNJN, New Jersey Public Television. Used to always see The Ramones, Smithereens, and every other Jersey band. Great times. Never knew Bowie was hip to it.
