Very drunk but listening to his vast backlog, what Bowie does it for you?

The Laughing Gnome. In all the tributes I've read to Bowie NO ONE has mentioned The Laughing Gnome, but it's a classic with brilliant lyrics: "Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school, you look like a Rolling Gnome!", "Naa, not at the London School of Ecognomics!" Also whilst people have mentioned "All the Young Dudes" that he wrote for Mott The Hoople. no one has mentioned the classic he wrote for Paul Dean and the Soul Savages: "Over the wall we go - all coppers are nanas". Plus he once played saxophone on a Steeleye Span album, 'Now We Are Six' I believe I could be wrong.
Or, if I'm being serious, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane in that order.
Didn't he pen Laughing Gnome in about 1967?
Just listening to Black Star for the first time. Its very good.
Favourite is Hunky Dory though, Queen Bitch makes me smile everytime I hear it.
