	Hunky and Dory in the Kingdom of Food
		Hunky was immediately aware that the skin was a bit too dry, the thighs had not been cut away at the correct point, and the wings were folded together improperly.
		Hunky tried to mention this quietly to his new acquaintance, but he didn't seem to be at all interested.
		Hunky was very, very, unsure of himself at this point, but he figured that he couldn't lose much, so he tried his best to do just what the others were doing.

		In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Hunky Dory the 43rd greatest album of all time; in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 47.

	Re: Hunkey Dorey
		To achieve "hunk" or "hunky" in a child's game was to make it "home" and win the game.
		Where the "dory" came from is more of a mystery.
		It may have arisen as what linguists call "reduplication," or the emphatic, joking repetition of parts of a word, as in "okey-dokey." Or the "dory" may actually be a reference to the Japanese "Honcho-dori" grafted on after "hunky" was already in use as slang.

	the wood : David Bowie : Hunky Dory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The album "Hunky Dory" was released just prior to the image changing "Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust", and it perfectly captures Bowie's witty whimsical lyrical genius, while taking the listener into a phantasmagoric musical wonderland.
		While there is no doubt that Bowie did indeed believe this, his placement of these two songs in an album filled with depression, criticism and cynicism lead the listener to believe that the inclusion of these two songs is intended to satire, on some level, the quickly fading flower power generation.
		David Bowie is an artist whose music can truly not be classified, and “ Hunky Dory” frees him of any stereotype chains he has been so wrongfully imprisoned in by the media masses.

	World Wide Words: Hunky-dory
		In Yokohama today a broad thoroughfare called Honcho-dori runs from the centre of the city to the port area, so one that would have been familiar to sailors (dori is the Japanese word for a road, in particular a broad or important one).
		Though the first part sounds a bit like the hunker of hunker down (which is also of Dutch origin), the words seem not to be related.
		It may be that hunky-dory was the result of a bilingual pun, perhaps invented because American sailors knew the word dori and prefixed it with hunky as an imagined Japanese street of earthly delights.

	Amuck, Gizmo, Hunky-dory, and a review of "Devious Derivations" by Hugh Rawson
		To achieve "hunk" or "hunky" in a child's game was to make it "home" and win the game.
		The question of where the "dory" came from brings us back to our old friend "O.K." Children very often do not just say "O.K." -- they say "okey-dokey," thus engaging in what linguists call "reduplication," or the emphatic, joking repetition of parts of a word.
		"Hunky- dory" is almost certainly a similar product of reduplication by children who had won their game.

		The precursor to Bowie's masterpiece, The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, Hunky Dory points in many of the same musical directions as Ziggy, with Bowie camping it up outrageously through a mixture of cabaret piano, coquettish lyrics and soaring vocals.
		This was where David Bowie's legend started to grow, and while the upbeat pop textures of HUNKY DORY would pale in comparison to the trashy glam rock of ZIGGY STARDUST, this album still rewrote the rules of pop music.
		Hunky Dory was Bowie's last album as a wannabe, just before he found fame with Ziggy Stardust.

		It was clear that Bowie was committed to his future world domination and would do literally anything to ensure he made it to the top.

	David Bowie: Hunky Dory ---Ink Blot Magazine
		For any youngsters or neophytes out there who define David Bowie by his recent regurgitation of currently hip musical styles, a visit to his back catalogue is in order.
		Recorded during his most fertile and productive period, Hunky Dory is a powerhouse of a record that reminds us that Bowie was once a leader so far ahead of the game that he seemed to be writing the rules as he went along.
		Hunky Dory is Bowie's most varied recording to date, wandering fluidly on a musical terrain that shifts unexpectedly between melodramatic show tunes, flawlessly constructed pop, trippy art-rock, and earthy folk.

	HUNKY DORY
		Simply look to the range of styles evident on Hunky Dory and you’ll see elements of all his earlier (and some future) work swirled together.
		As a young teenager, Hunky Dory was a holy relic I carried with me on various road trips (having taped it from my elpee, which was and still is perfectly legal, although I chafe at the concept of “legal” and “illegal” in lieu of “right” and “wrong”).
		Although I still enjoy Hunky Dory on many levels today, the suggestion by some that this is better than the post-Ziggy albums seems misguided.

		With her were Colm Wilkinson, Terry Neeson and, as the Evening Press called her, "a colleen with the good old gaelic name of Twink." The week long performances were such a huge success that later in the year, "Hunky Dory", a shorter version of the same show, aired on RTE (Irish national television.)

	David Bowie : Hunky Dory - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer/songwriter territory on Hunky Dory.
		As a result, Hunky Dory is a kaleidoscopic array of pop styles, tied together only by Bowie's sense of vision: a sweeping, cinematic mélange of high and low art, ambiguous sexuality, kitsch, and class.
		You Pretty Things," or the dark acoustic rocker "Andy Warhol." On the surface, such a wide range of styles and sounds would make an album incoherent, but Bowie's improved songwriting and determined sense of style instead made Hunky Dory a touchstone for reinterpreting pop's traditions into fresh, postmodern pop music.

		How the dory got into the expression was not clear.
