Yes, another one of these...Reeeal or Faaake?
I notice a couple of Bowie DD covers on YouTube, and although I was never a fan of his songs, these covers seem like fakes to me.
Can anyone confirm? Real or Fake?
"In 1983 while visiting Duran Duran in The Recording Studios. Bowie asked if he could record his version of The Reflex, which he absolutely loved. Simon Le Bon happily agreed as long as Bowie did his vocal style the old Ziggy Stardust way. Bowie was happy to oblige. Here then for the very first time, is that Demo. Ladies and Gentlemen, David Bowie and Duran Duran sing, The Reflex."
"WOW THIS IS AMAZING - Bowie sings Hungry Like The Wolf and sings it (May I say) Far far better than Duran Duran, anyone who cant hear that needs their ears syringing - WHAT A FIND!!!! - RARE - David Bowie Sings Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf"

While the HLTW one was clearly done just for fun, it has some effort put in it. Still can say it's "fake".
But the "The Reflex" one sounds straight up lame, almost like mocking Bowie's style.

Thanks for your confirmations guys. The Reflex video only popped up last week, 8th Mar 2021, and I wondered if this really was a long lost find, or some old pop trash. You might think these were posted by Bowie fans, but it seems we can write these off as a lame set of fanclub edits - like the fake Ragged Tiger Demos. Still, its impressive that some fans will go to such lengths to do this, to fake DD covers and collabs. Who's next? Elvis sings Rio?

The uploader MUST be deleting negative comments...the HLTW video has been up for three years and yet the only comments showing appear to be from fools that think it's real, and his canned replies show he's really only in the clickbait business. There's NO WAY there haven't been any comments mocking the ridiculousness of his claims.
