Most will recognize the melody because of later musical samplings from a human named Vanilla Ice, but the original is a masterpiece of rocker vulnerability and not recycled beats that “wax chumps like candles.”
Bowie opens the song with:
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
