About This Track
“Suffragette City” is a single by David Bowie.
Recorded towards the end of the Ziggy Stardust sessions, “Suffragette City” is a trademark piece of early 1970s Bowie glam, with a piano riff heavily influenced by Little Richard, a lyrical reference to the film A Clockwork Orange (the word “droogie”) and the sing-along hook “Wham bam thank you ma’am!”, and an influence on the punk rock movement that came several years after the song’s release. The song has become a fixture of Bowie’s live shows, and one of his best known album cuts.
In 1976, it was issued as a single to promote the ChangesOneBowie compilation in the UK, with the US single edit of “Stay” on the B-side. The single failed to chart. Suffragette City was also featured as a track in the 2006 Atari game Driver: Parallel Lines.

Wonderfully teenage vocal snark, wrapped in banging pianos and razor-wire guitar riffs, what's not to love?

I think this is the weakest on the album, and boring because it repeats too much. Still great though... :)
