Space Oddity, by David Bowie.
its a SWEET song.
i just searched “ground control to major tom” on limewire and i found it…it is a sweet song. i love it. i think ill use it in the soundtrack for my next vid.
My father was amused to no end by the notion of an astronaut being addressed by his first name as in Major Tom. He chuckled anytime I played that song. He also told me, this being sometime around 1976, that any one of Bowie’s album covers, though Diamond Dogs in particular, would have given him nightmares as a kid.
If you want to hear some fantastic covers of Bowie songs, check out The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions. A Brazilian musician named Seu Jorge does them on an acoustic guitar in Portuguese. Unfortunately the Space Oddity cover is available only on iTunes.
you can find space oddity at best buy, in america
