        David Bowie: Hey Pet Shop Boys, wanna remix my reznor-esque “Hallo Spaceboy”?
        PSB: alright
        PSB: wtf there’s only one verse
        Chris lowe: Fuckit, let’s cut up some of his stuff like he does to other artists
        Neil Tennant: cackling

        [a few hours laterrrr]
        Bowie: How’s my remix going?
        PSB: Yeah we started cutting up Space Oddity
        Bowie:…I’m coming over.
