    What is the name of the David Bowie song that used to be packaged with windows media player?!?!?

    I could have sworn it was called "modern love" but i just listened to that song and it clearly isn't it. I really liked that song! I've been trying to figure out what it is...

    Any help?

    There was a Bowie song packaged with media player? Since when?

    The only "music" I ever remember being packaged with anything Windows (that wasn't Beethoven or some group I've never heard of) was Edie Brickel and Weezer.

    I didn't think any songs were packaged with WMP. Maybe for the Mac its different? Only songs I know came with Windows.

    ok maybe thats it then- it might not have been with the media player directly but i remember that it didn't notice it until i installed wmp...

    this had to be windows xp.

    im not talking about the mac in any way. I'm just looking for a song that came with windows...

    Like Humans Do? Thats the only song I remember with XP.

    Other than that, I've got nothing for you. Maybe if you hummed a few bars? :D
