Song #94
The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie
It was released in 1970 in his album with the same name
Fun fact: Musically, this song is based around a "circular" guitar riff from Mick Ronson (guitarist). Its lyrics are cryptic and evocative, being inspired by numerous poems including the 1899 "Antigonish" by William Hughes Mearns. David's vocals are heavily "phased" throughout and have been described as "haunting".

Okay. This may sound strange and very odd, but I took a look at this before reading what it was, and the first thing that popped in my head was 'Oh, this is a post about David Bowie', because this looks like something he would have rocked while dressed like Ziggy Stardust.
I tried finding an image of him in something like this because I was certain I saw him in one before.
I didn't find him in a dressing gown. It wasn't even David dressed as Ziggy. It was David Bowie's album cover for 'The Man Who Sold The World'.

Holy hell fellas
This feeling is amazing
I'm the best I've been all day
Best I've been in days
Maybe a week!
Maybe who the fuck knows!
I don't even care about the midterms I need to work on later, they can wait, the time is now for this
