Moonage Daydream is a song by David Bowie which was originally the first single released by David Bowie's side-project Arnold Corns in 1971. It flopped but was subsequently dusted down to be the song that heralds the arrival of Ziggy Stardust on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
The B-side of the 1971 single "Hang on to Yourself" also later appeared on the Ziggy Stardust album.
In 2002 Bowie wrote a book "Moonage Daydream: The Life and Times of Ziggy Stardust", which documented his Ziggy Stardust era in 1972-73.
In a 2003 interview with Performing Songwriter magazine, Bowie explained how the song "Sure Know a Lot About Love" by The Hollywood Argyles influenced this song.
- Said Bowie: "It was a combination of the baritone sax and the piccolo on the solo which I thought, 'Now there's a great thing to put in a rock song' (laughs). Which I nicked, then put in 'Moonage Daydream' later."
