David Bowie deliberately seemed to have created confusion with the title character of his song Lady Stardust. First of all, the 'lady' in the title is described in male terms. Also, while there are parallels with Bowie's Ziggy Stardust character, it was probably based on Marc Bolan, since the original demo version was entitled "He Was Alright (A Song for Marc)". In the song, Lady Stardust is a singer accompanied by an unnamed band.
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans jumped up on the stage
Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright
The band was all together
Yes, he was alright
The song went on forever
Yes, he was awful nice
Really quite outta sight
And he sang all night long
