Unnamed DJ and title character of the song and music video "DJ" by David Bowie. This DJ seems to be suffering from illness due to losing his job and his audience. Bowie wrote this song as a reaction to the rising popularity of disco DJs in the 1970s.

I am home, lost my job

And incurably ill

You think this is easy, realism

I've got a girl out there, I suppose

I think she's dancing

Feel like Dan Dare lies down

I think she's dancing, what do I know?

I am a D.J., I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh ooh
