"All the Young Dudes" is a 1972 single by David Bowie. Bowie asked Billy Corgan to play it with him at his 50th Birthday Party, along with "The Jean Genie". When Corgan asked why he chose "All the Young Dudes" for him, Bowie replied that the lyric "Billy's rapped all night 'bout his suicide" reminded him of Corgan.[1]
