David Bowie – China Girl
David Bowie – China Girl (1983)
Directed by: David Mallet
China Girl is a song by David Bowie, co-written with Iggy Pop, originally appearing on Pop’s 1977 album *The Idiot*. Bowie’s rendition was released in May 1983 as the second single from his album *Let’s Dance*. The track blends new wave and pop rock elements, featuring a distinctive guitar riff by Stevie Ray Vaughan. The accompanying music video, directed by David Mallet, was filmed in Sydney, Australia, and features New Zealand model Geeling Ng as Bowie’s love interest. The video consciously parodies Asian female stereotypes and won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video.
