"The Laughing Gnome" is a song by English singer David Bowie, released as a single on 14 April 1967. A pastiche of songs by one of Bowie's early influences, Anthony Newley, it was originally released as a novelty single on Deram Records in 1967. The track consists of Bowie meeting and conversing with a gnome, whose sped-up voice (created by Bowie and studio engineer Gus Dudgeon) delivers several puns on the word "gnome". At the time, "The Laughing Gnome" failed to provide Bowie with a chart placing, but on its re-release in 1973 it reached number six on the British charts and number three in New Zealand.

  • The Laughing Gnome è un brano musicale scritto dall'artista inglese David Bowie e pubblicato come 45 giri il 14 aprile 1967 con scarso successo di vendite. Con la riedizione del 1973, sull'onda del grande successo di Bowie negli ultimi due anni, riuscì ad entrare in classifica nel Regno Unito, dove raggiunse addirittura la sesta posizione, e ad ottenere il disco d'argento, vendendo ben 250 000 copie.

  • "The Laughing Gnome" é uma canção do cantor britânico David Bowie, lançada como single em 14 de abril de 1967. Um pastiche de canções de uma das primeiras influências de Bowie, Anthony Newley, a faixa foi originalmente lançada como uma novelty song pela Deram Records, em 1967. A faixa consistia em um encontro e uma conversa entre o cantor e um gnomo, cuja voz acelerada (criada por Bowie e pelo engenheiro de som ) fazia vários trocadilhos com a palavra "gnome". Na época, "The Laughing Gnome" falhou em alcançar um posicionamento de Bowie nas paradas, mas, quando foi posteriormente relançada, a faixa se tornou um hit, chegando ao n°6 das paradas britânicas.

  • The Laughing Gnome est une chanson écrite et interprétée par David Bowie. Elle a paru en single en avril 1967 au Royaume-Uni sur le label Deram Records. Cette chanson humoristique est dominée par le son du basson et du hautbois. Ses paroles, pleines de calembours, racontent la rencontre entre le narrateur et un gnome hilare. Ce dernier est interprété par Bowie et l'ingénieur du son Gus Dudgeon, qui passent leurs voix en accéléré pour les rendre suraigües. Pour le reste de la chanson, Bowie imite l'accent et le phrasé d'Anthony Newley, l'une de ses principales influences à l'époque. À sa sortie, le single est un échec commercial. (fr)
  • The Laughing Gnome is een nummer van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht op single in 1967. Het nummer werd geïnspireerd door een van Bowies vroegere invloeden . Het nummer bestaat uit een gesprek tussen de zanger en de "lachende gnoom" uit de titel, wiens versnelde stem (gecreëerd door Bowie en engineer Gus Dudgeon) verschillende woordspelingen maakte op het woord "gnome".
