Space Oddity (Ground Control to Major Tom)



You may have not heard a word about David Bowie, but he is one of the most influential musicians the British Isles have produced lately. This is "Space Oddity", David Bowie's first big hit back in 1969. Major Tom is a fictional character Bowie created. He is an astronaut, his departure from Earth is successful and everything goes according to plan, but he then cuts off contact with Ground Control. His last transmission is "Tell my wife I love her very much" and the response is that "she knows"...







After some archaeogogical search, I have found Space Oddity original video, with the very Bowie playing Major Tom. Or if you click here you will get to see an interesting vid too... Enjoy!
