"I haven't really. Well, apart from another song by Bowie and Queen called 'I Don't Want To Be A Rolling Stone.' It's stunning. It was later re-worked to become 'I Go Crazy.' It's good as 'Under Pressure.' It would have been a great follow up single. "
It seems the experience proved to be particularly invidious for Brian, who produced this set of lyrics for 'I Go Crazy', which seems to be an account of sorts of the recording of "I Don't Want To Be A Rolling Stone":
We had a little party,
With the man who stole the blow,
I played a little song 'n' said you can play along,
He said that's NOT how it should go,
You sucked a little blood just before you spat,
You took a bit of this and a bit of that,
To think I nearly let you get away with all that
(oh no, not you)
CHORUS
All I gotta do is think about you,
Every night 'n' day I go crazy
All I gotta do is get my hands on you,
You better stay away from me Bowie.
I wouldn't mind the milkman,
I wouldn't mind the dude,
And if the cleaner came along and wiped the tape,
It wouldn't put me in a bad mood.
Said a Rolling Stone wasn't where it's at,
But you thought that you were better than a Rolling Stone,
(You thought you just had to be)
Of course, you're such a god, you're way above all that,
You had to do your act like a real spoilt brat,
CHORUS (Crazy, crazy)
Now I don't want to hurt you,
The way you hurt-a-me,
But you know I'll be watching, interestedly,
The next time you're on T.V.,
For you'll be back in your life, and I'll in mine,
And I can jump for joy [...]
It's the bulk eraser[?] for the bad memory.
CHORUS
There's really quite some anti-Bowie invective in there! No wonder we haven't even heard about the existence of this track until just recently.
