The universe has come full circle with the union of lookalikes Tilda Swinton and David Bowie in Bowie’s new music video, “The Stars (Are Out Tonight).” See, they’ve been listening to our remarks all along and probably had a good laugh about it on the phone every so often. Then when Bowie prepared to film his video, he probably gave Tilda a ring. After all, Tilda is nothing if not a chameleon and one who would rather be handsome than pretty, but ultimately, she’s Bowie-esque in both appearance and nature.

Now we’re presented with the ultimate opportunity to watch them in action together in this short film/video, which also functions as proof that Bowie and Tilda are in fact not the same person. In this video, Tilda plays the wife of Bowie and, at one point, she even hops onstage and lipsynchs the lyrics as they play. What fun:

These two crazy kids. They’re just f–king with us now. And we’re loving every second of it, right? As far as Bowie songs go, this one isn’t an instant classic, but the guy will never be able to top his iconic hits of yesteryear. Mostly, I’ll stick to his old stuff, but I really dug his 1997 disc, Earthling (for which he collaborated with Trent Reznor), as well. Of course, “The Stars” is still better than most of the awful music that hits the airwaves these days. Plus, the video has Tilda. That pretty much says it all.
