  • Absolute Beginners è una canzone del 1986 scritta e interpretata dal cantautore inglese David Bowie per il film omonimo diretto da Julien Temple. Il brano è stato pubblicato come 45 giri con la versione "Dub Mix" come lato B, mentre due anni più tardi è uscita la versione CD, con una durata superiore della canzone. Questa versione full length è la stessa presente nella colonna sonora del film ed è una delle tracce bonus della riedizione del 1995 dell'album Tonight. Bowie, amico del regista del film, Julien Temple (con il quale aveva collaborato nel 1984 per il videoclip Jazzin' for Blue Jean), accettò di recitare nella pellicola e di comporre inoltre la "theme song" del film. Le sessioni di registrazione ebbero luogo agli Abbey Road Studios di Londra, con la partecipazione di un gruppo di session men. L'incisione venne completata celermente, ma la pubblicazione della canzone venne rimandata a causa di ritardi nella lavorazione del film. La Virgin voleva pubblicare il brano su singolo in concomitanza con l'uscita nei cinema della pellicola. Poco tempo dopo il completamento di Absolute Beginners, Mick Jagger volò a Londra per incidere insieme a Bowie Dancing in the Street, che fece uso di molti dei musicisti impiegati nella sessione precedente. Il brano risente dell'influenza dello stile doo-wop anni cinquanta al quale Bowie era interessato negli anni ottanta. Il 45 giri raggiunse la seconda posizione in classifica in Gran Bretagna, la terza in Italia e la numero 53 negli Stati Uniti. (it)
