"Space Oddity" is a song written and performed by David Bowie and released as a single in 1969. It is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut who becomes lost in outer space. Supposedly released to coincide with the Apollo 11 moon landing, it appears on the album of the same title. The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the lunar landing. David Bowie，英国乐坛常青树，伴随着几十年的不停改变，1969年的Space Oddity一直在西方深受喜爱。该曲受阿波罗11号登月的启发，展现那个时代对于太空时代的另类关注，描述一位叫TOM的飞船船长迷失在太空。这是1969年的原始版本，在1972年的时候他曾经重新灌录新版本，也就是现在最多播放的版本。 Ground control to major tom Ground control to major tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground control to major tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may gods love be with you Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, Four, three, two, one, liftoff This is ground control to major tom Youve really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare This is major tom to ground control Im stepping through the door And Im floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here Am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet earth is blue And theres nothing I can do Though Im past one hundred thousand miles Im feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell me wife I love her very much she knows Ground control to major tom Your circuits dead, theres something wrong Can you hear me, major tom? Can you hear me, major tom? Can you hear me, major tom? Can you.... Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet earth is blue And theres nothing I can do.
