"Rebel Rebel" is a song by the English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was released in the UK on 15 February 1974 by RCA Records as the lead single from the album Diamond Dogs. Written and produced by Bowie, the song is based around a distinctive guitar riff reminiscent of the Rolling Stones.

It's a killer lick that Bowie came up with here. I always thought that it was Mick Ronson's contribution to the song, but in doing some digging I found out that although Bowie came up with the lick it was perfected and played on the album by Alan Parker.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Country star Chris Young's latest single, “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” is a vivid love letter to summertime weekends, old trucks, dive bar bands, and crushes. And it might sound immediately familiar: The guitar lick that opens the track is lifted directly from David Bowie's 1974 hit “Rebel Rebel.”
