<P> The music video ( which uses the shorter single version ) was made in March 1983 by David Mallet on location in Australia including a bar in Carinda in New South Wales and the Warrumbungle National Park near Coonabarabran . In the beginning it featured Bowie with a double bass player inside the one - room pub at the Carinda Hotel and an Aboriginal couple ' naturally ' dancing `` to the song they 're playin ' on the radio '' . The couple in this scene and in the whole video is played by Terry Roberts and Joelene King , two students from Sydney 's Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre . As Bowie opted for real people , some residents of the 194 - souls village of Carinda are in the pub too , watching and mocking the couple . They do not understand who David is nor what the take is all about , hence their behaviour towards the couple as seen in the video is real . </P>
