The Evolution of a Space Oddity...

[Agschmid]

An amazing song was written in 1969...

Some how turned into this in 1983...

Which turned into a commercial for the Lincoln MKS in 2009...

And then got a "dubsteb" remix by Adam K and Soha in 2011...

So who in your opinion did it best (realizing they aren't the same song, but all connected)?

1. Had to vote Bowie

as he's just a whole 'nother universe of talent from the others - however as a person who reached the age of majority in the early 80s I must admit I like the Peter Schilling song.

4. It certainly is catchy.

2. You forgot this one

2nd best, behind the original IMO

3. That was awesome!

Thanks for sharing.

6. You should see the YouTube complaints about this version

Apparently it's evil that Commander Hadfield would CHANGE THE LYRICS TO A CLASSIC!

Oh noes!

Apparently these numb nuts haven't thought that someone who's actually in space wouldn't necessarily want to sing the parts about burning up during re-entry.

7. Nope I would also skip that part... Yipes.

5. Also,

Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" (1980) is sort of a "sequel" or at least a look back at the Major Tom character.
And his "Hallo Spaceboy" (1995) was related, though didn't mention the Major Tom character by name, but the Pet Shop Boys did a remix of it in 1996 that did.
