This Weekend's Wildcard is The Jean Genie by David Bowie. This is off of his 1972 album Aladdin Sane. Commenting on the song, Bowie stated: "Starting out as a lightweight riff thing I had written one evening in
NY for Cyrinda [Fox]'s enjoyment, I developed the lyric to the otherwise
wordless pumper and it ultimately turned into a bit of a smorgasbord of
imagined Americana ... based on an Iggy [Pop]-type persona ... The title, of
course, was a clumsy pun upon Jean Genet."
