SPACE ODDITY. David Bowie

Efectivament. La resposta era ben òbvia. El mestre David Bowie. El tema també és present a cançons com Life on Mars, o la també coneguda, Starman. Enjoy the song.

- 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 God's love be with you. (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift off). This is Ground Control to Major Tom. You've really made the grade and the papers want to know whose shirts you wear. Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
- This is Major Tom to Ground Control. I'm stepping through the door and I'm 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 there's nothing I can do. Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still, and I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her very much she knows.

- Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's 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 there's nothing I can do.


- Control de Terra a Major Tom, Control de Terra a Major Tom. Prengui les seves píndoles de proteïnes i posi’s el casc. Control de Terra a Major Tom. Inici del compte enrere, motors encesos. Control d’ignició. Que la Gràcia de Déu sigui amb vos! (Deu, nou, vuit, set, sis, cinc, quatre, tres, dos, u, enlairant-se). Aquí Control de Terra a Major Tom, heu estat realment a l’alçada i els diaris volen saber quines camises porteu. Ara és el moment d’abandonar la càpsula si us atreviu
- Aquí el Major Tom a Control de Terra. Estic travessant la porta i floto d’una forma ben peculiar, i les estrelles tenen un aspecte molt diferent avui des d’aquí. Sóc assegut en un munt de ferralla, molt per sobre del món. El planeta Terra és blau i no hi ha res que hi pugui fer. Tot i que estic a cent mil milles, em sento força immòbil, i crec que la meva nau espacial sap quin camí agafar. Digueu-li a la meva dona que me l’estimo molt, ella ho sap.
- Control de Terra a Major Tom. Els seus circuits estan avariats, alguna cosa va malament. Pot escoltar-me, Major Tom? Pot escoltar-me, Major Tom? Pot escoltar-me Major Tom? Pot...
- Aquí, estic flotant al voltant d’aquest munt de ferralla, ben lluny sobre la Lluna. El Planeta Terra és blau i no hi ha res que hi pugui fer.
