    Winning isn't everything. And that's just as well in this case, because this quiz got the better of you this time round. Put on some Jean Genie and dance it off.

  2. 4 and above.

    Okay, but who was actually watching Bowie's videos anyway? You were probably too busy getting down to the music, and that's just fine.

  3. 7 and above.

    That is not a bad showing at all! You're not a Bowie obsessive, but have a keen enough eye to know most of his visual cues. Good work.

  4. 10 and above.

    You are a flawless Bowie video expert, and you deserve to put on red shoes and dance the blues all the way into the sunset. Well done.
