"The London Boys" is a song by English musician David Bowie. It was first released as the B-side of the single "Rubber Band" in the United Kingdom on 2 December 1966. It was originally written and demoed in 1965 with the Lower Third for potential release as the artist's debut single for Pye Records but it was rejected. After a year of rewrites, he recorded a new version with a new band, the Buzz, which helped secure him a record contract with Decca-subsidiary Deram Records. Unlike the A-side, "The London Boys" retains the Mod feel of Bowie's previous singles. The dark lyrics concern a 17-year-old girl who left home for London. As she wants to get to know the London boys, she turns to take pills to fit in. Like his previous singles, it failed to chart. Decca later issued it as an A-side in

  • «The London Boys» es una canción escrita por el músico británico David Bowie. Fue publicada como el lado B del sencillo «Rubber Band» en el Reino Unido el 2 de diciembre de 1966.​ Fue escrito en 1965 y demostrada originalmente con su banda the Lower Third como un posible lanzamiento de sencillo debut del grupo para Pye Records, sin embargo, fue rechazada. A diferencia de «Rubber Band», «The London Boys» conserva el sentimiento del movimiento mod de los sencillos anteriores de Bowie. Más tarde, la canción fue relanzada por Decca Records como un sencillo de lado A, junto con «Love You till Tuesday» como lado B.​ (es)

  • The London Boys est une chanson de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète anglais David Bowie. Écrite en 1965 et enregistrée en version démo cette même année avec The Lower Third, elle ne sort au Royaume-Unique que le 2 décembre 1966 en face B du single Rubber Band, jouée avec son nouveau groupe The Buzz. C'est pour Bowie un nouvel échec commercial : le 45 tours n'entre pas au hit-parade britannique. Les biographes de Bowie et les critiques musicaux saluent désormais The London Boys comme l'un de ses meilleurs morceaux de l'époque. (fr)
