"The Buddha of Suburbia" is the theme song to the BBC TV series of the same name, released by British musician David Bowie in November 1993 by Arista Records.

It was re-recorded with American musician Lenny Kravitz for Bowie's 19th studio album, also titled The Buddha of Suburbia (1993), and inspired by his musical score for the series.

This single was promoted by a video featuring Bowie performing the song while strolling around an English suburb, intercut with scenes from the series.

The song caused minor controversies on both sides of the Atlantic, with Radio 1 making an airplay edit to cover up the word "bullshit" in the lyric, and US networks re-edited the video to remove shots where Bowie was smoking a cigarette.

The Stud Brothers from Melody Maker said, "Not a bad single, Bowie plundering his glory years to find something of the lushness of "Young Americans" and a little of the studied weirdness of "Heroes".

"[3] Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "The TV series is based in the Seventies, and Bowie's title song is evocative of both the period and his work from then.
