David Bowie just dropped another music video from his upcoming album The Next Day, due out March 12.The video for the song "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" shows David Bowie and Tilda Swinton as a stodgy, old married couple whose lives are interrupted by a celebrity couple they saw on a supermarket magazine.

The video was directed by Fioria Sigismondi (of The Runaways and Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" fame) so expect things to get a little weird.

The song itself is passable, with a nice, little guitar groove playing through out the song. However, with all of this new Bowie music (particularly the godawful, instrospective ballad "Where Are We Know") I can't shake the feeling that Bowie is trying to impersonate himself. All of these new tracks sound like Bowie is trying to do a "Bowie song" as opposed to Bowie just writing a new song.

With that being said, the whole thing is worth it just to see David Bowie in a Mr. Rogers style mustard cardigan.

The song will hit iTunes at midnight and is being offered as a single for Record Store Day on April 20th.
