"Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" is a song by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released as the title track of his 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). It was also issued as the third single from that album in January 1981. Coming as it did in the wake of two earlier singles from Scary Monsters, "Ashes to Ashes" in August 1980 and "Fashion" in October the same year, NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray labelled its release another instance "in the fine old tradition of milking albums for as much as they could possibly be worth". The song was subsequently performed on a number of Bowie tours.

La letra, cantada por Bowie con su acento Cockney, contaba la retirada de una mujer del mundo y su descenso a la locura ("When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home ... Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise"). Temáticamente la canción ha sido comparada a «She's Lost Control» de Joy Division (1979),​ y el "romance claustrofóbico" con Iggy Pop en The Idiot y Lust for Life (1977).​ (es)

The song was subsequently performed on a number of Bowie tours. Musically the track was notable for its lead guitar work by Robert Fripp and distinctive synthesized percussion. The lyrics, sung by Bowie in his Cockney accent, charted a woman's withdrawal from the world and descent into madness ("When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home ... Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise"). Thematically the song has been compared to Joy Division's "She's Lost Control" (1979), and to the "claustrophobic romance" of Iggy Pop's 1977 collaborations with Bowie, The Idiot and Lust for Life. The edited single reached No. 20 in the UK charts. As well as 7" vinyl, it was issued in Compact Cassette format. (en)
  • Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie en de titeltrack van zijn album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) uit 1980. Ook werd het in januari 1981 uitgebracht als de derde single van het album, na "Ashes to Ashes" en "Fashion". Het nummer is muzikaal gezien opmerkelijk voor het gitaarwerk van Robert Fripp en de op synthesizers lijkende percussie. De tekst werd door Bowie gezongen in een overdreven Cockney-accent en gaat over een vrouw die zich uit de wereld terugtrekt en gaandeweg gek wordt ("When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home - Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise"). Thematisch gezien wordt het nummer vergeleken met "She's Lost Control" van Joy Division en de samenwerkingen van Bowie met Iggy Pop op de albums en . De single, teruggebracht naar 3 minuten en 27 seconden terwijl de albumversie 5 minuten en 10 seconden duurde, bereikte de twintigste plaats in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het werd uitgevoerd op meerdere tournees van Bowie. (nl)

  • «Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)» — песня британского рок-музыканта Дэвида Боуи, композиция была издана в качестве третьего сингла с одноименного альбома, в январе 1981 года. Редакторы журнала New Musical Express Рой Карр и Чарльз Шаар Мюррей описали издание этой песни в формате сингла словами: «В доброй старой традиции доить альбом до тех пор, пока на этом можно заработать» (англ. «in the fine old tradition of milking albums for as much as they could possibly be worth»). В музыкальном плане композиция была примечательна работой соло-гитариста Роберта Фриппа и отличительным звуком синтезированных ударных. Лирика, спетая Боуи с имитацией кокни-акцента, повествовала об уходе женщины от реальности и спуск в бездну безумия («Когда я смотрю в её голубые глаза, там уже никого нет… Теперь она сумасшедшая на улице, и не может общаться»). Тематически песню сравнивали с композицией Joy Division «She’s Lost Control» (1979) и «клаустрофобными романсами» с альбомов Игги Попа The Idiot и Lust for Life, на которых он сотрудничал с Боуи. Сингл достиг 20 строчки в британском хит-параде. Кроме винила, он был выпущен в формате аудиокассеты. С тех пор, композиция исполнялась во многих концертных турах Дэвида. (ru)
  • "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" é uma canção escrita por David Bowie e a faixa-título do seu álbum Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), de 1980. A faixa também foi lançada como o terceiro single do álbum em janeiro de 1981. Vindo no rastro dos dois singles anteriores de Scary Monsters, "Ashes to Ashes", de agosto de 1981, e "Fashion", de setembro do mesmo ano, Roy Carr e Charles Shaar Murray, críticos da NME, rotularam o terceiro single como um exemplo da "boa e velha tradição de sugar álbuns ao máximo do seu valor." Musicalmente, a faixa é notável pelo trabalho de Robert Fripp na guitarra principal e pela distinta percussão de sintetizador. A letra, cantada por Bowie com um sotaque cockney exagerado, trata do ostracismo de uma mulher e seu declínio até a loucura ("When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home... Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise" - "Quando olhei em seus olhos, eles estavam azuis, mas não havia ninguém ali... Agora ela está como uma besta na rua e não consegue socializar"). Tematicamente, a letra foi comparada a "She's Lost Control" (1979), do Joy Division, e ao "romance claustrofóbico" das colaborações de Iggy Pop com Bowie, The Idiot e Lust for Life, ambos de 1977. A versão em single chegou ao número 20 nas paradas britânicas. A faixa foi lançada em vinil de sete polegadas e em fita cassete. Desde então, Bowie tocou a canção em várias de suas turnês. (pt)
