Alternative demo of Cool Cat recorded during the Under Pressure sessions in Montreux in 1981. This has recently been leaked so I've decided to put my copy up on here.

Lyrics (with Bowie's "bum bum bum's" throughout) :

Woooh, yeah

Woooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You've taken all the sunshine away

Making out like you're the main line

And I knew that

You're a cool cat

Tappin' on the toe with a new hat

Woooh just cruisin'

Drivin' along like the swing king, feelin' the beat of my heart

Huh huh, feelin' the beat of my heart

Mmm you're a cool cat

Tappin' on the toe with a new hat

Ooh, you're alright

Hanging out and stealing all the limelight

Messing with the beat of my heart

Messin' with the beat of my heart

Up town, me - never seen the real life (mmm)

Til' you came into my life, came into my life

You used to be a mean kid (mean kid)

Mmm makin' such a deal of life

You used to know that (I used to know that)

Ooh you've been wishin' and hopin' and waiting to really hit the big time

But did it happen, happen, no

You're speeding too fast

Slow down, slow down, you better slow down

Slow down

Hmm you really know how to set the mood (set the mood)

Mmm and you really get inside the groove, yeah

Cuz you're a cool cat

Messing around with a cool child

Ooh just cruisin, drivin' along with a swing king

Feeling the beat of my heart, feeling the beat of my heart

Up

Yeah yeah

Feeling the beat of my heart

I can feel it

Feeling the beat of my heart, yeah

Yeah, feeling the beat of my heart, huh

Yeah, hmm, don't make such a big deal, yeah

Feeling the beat of my heart

Hmm, hmm, woohoo yeah

Freddie and Bowie sounded great together in Under Pressure but it was a good thing David decided to remove his vocals from Cool Cat because the final version that made it to the record really turned out to be the best.

As small as Bowie's contribution is I think it actually adds to the pleasure factor. The original didn't get me moving for some time, but the "bum-bum-bum" adds extra rythm

Just cause David Can't match Freddie doesn't mean you should put hiim down. Bowie is awesome, Freddie is god, hard to find someone to duet with fred. Bowie's bum bum is still better than beiber :)
