Facts:

This is the 3:43 single version. The album version (from "Station to Station" [RCA, 1976]) runs 5:33. (Stavro Arrgolus)

Apparently, Iggy Pop, while doing "very hard drugs" at Bowie’s LA home in 1975, hallucinated that the TV set was swallowing his girlfriend - and Bowie ran with the idea. He envisioned a holographic television, "TVC 15". In the song, the singer's girlfriend crawls into the television and afterwards, he crawls in to find her. (Stavro Arrgolus)

Song Lyrics:

Up every evening 'bout half eight or nine
I give my complete attention
to a very good friend of mine
He's quadraphonic, he's a,
he's got more channels
So hologramic,
oh my T V C one five
I brought my baby home, she
She sat around forlorn
She saw my T V C one five, baby's gone, she
She crawled right in, oh my
She crawled right in my
So hologramic,
oh my T V C one five
Oh, so demonic,
oh my T V C one five

Maybe if I pray every, each night I sit there pleading

"Send back
my dream test baby,
She's my main feature"
My T V C one five, he, he just
Stares back unblinking
So hologramic,
oh my T V C one five
One of these nights I may just
Jump down that rainbow way, be with my baby, then

We'll spend some time together
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
My baby's in there someplace
Love's rating in the sky
So hologramic,
oh my T V C one five

[CHORUS]

Oh my T V C one five,
oh oh, T V C one five
