I first saw Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)" on Showtime back around '83 or so. At the time I hadn't even heard of David Bowie, much less "A Space Oddity." Needless to say, I didn't get "Major Tom (Coming Home)" at all, but hey, with all that NASA footage in the video, who cared what the song was about?
One of my favorite songs from yesteryear. I just added it to my iPod about a month ago after searching feverishly for it.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your "Friday Night Videos" features these past few months. Kudos.
