MAJOR TOM & GROUND CONTROL...


:: SOMETHING'S WRONG...

BOOTIK MOOSIK revamps Bowie's classic.
A just returned from Afghanistan veteran to whom "Space Oddity" was already an all time favorite declares it the best version EVER... BOOTIK Thanks you sir, SIR ! 


 "Space Oddity" was written and performed by David Bowie and released as a music single in 1969. It is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut; its title alludes to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  

The lyrics have also been seen to lampoon the failed British space programme. The song appears on the album David Bowie (also known as Space Oddity). The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the Apollo 11 launch and lunar landing, which took place in the days following the release of the song.



"Space Oddity" became so well known that Bowie's second album, originally released as David Bowie in the UK (like his first album), was renamed after the track for its 1972 reissue by RCA Records, and has since become known by this name.Bowie would later revisit his Major Tom character in the songs "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hallo Spaceboy".
