That's Jarvis Cocker. He doesn't sound so much like Bowie to me - especially in that song the accent is completely different - you can hear the London intonation very strongly in Bowie whereas Cocker has a more flattened Sheffield sound - the rhythm of speech is different too, which I think feeds through into the way the lyrics are written.

No doubt very influenced by Bowie though.

I think this one is more like Bowie:
