The first verse includes the lines “Are you okay?/you’ve been shot in the head/and I’m holding your brains/the old woman said.” Bowie based the song on the novel of the same name, and reassigned the biscuit story to an incident in which a Tibetan Buddhist monk was shot. \n\nhttps://www.synthbeat.com/2022/08/16/all-kinds-of-strange-bowies-seven-years-in-tibet-25th-anniversary/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3601829, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3601829/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-08T12:43:00-08:00", "show": 65595, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65595/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia800303.us.archive.org/0/items/mbid-134b4d4b-8ccc-3063-b265-ecdd85464fd3/mbid-134b4d4b-8ccc-3063-b265-ecdd85464fd3-15492257112_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia800303.us.archive.org/0/items/mbid-134b4d4b-8ccc-3063-b265-ecdd85464fd3/mbid-134b4d4b-8ccc-3063-b265-ecdd85464fd3-15492257112_thumb250.jpg", "song": "It’s No Game, Part 1", "track_id": "8c366c05-a2b1-3671-8ffb-621877edc08f", "recording_id": "c404be0a-28e3-4ec6-a346-236c01234a53", "artist": "David Bowie", "artist_ids": [ "5441c29d-3602-4898-b1a1-b77fa23b8e50" ], "album": "Scary Monsters", "release_id": "134b4d4b-8ccc-3063-b265-ecdd85464fd3", "release_group_id": "bb13cb45-254c-3a61-89a5-15d22a97e6d6", "labels": [ "EMI" ], "label_ids": [ "c029628b-6633-439e-bcee-ed02e8a338f7" ], "release_date": "1999-09-17", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "On the 'Scary Monsters' album there are two versions of \"It’s No Game\", the opening track and the closing track, both done in completely polarised styles.
