David Bowie
Space Oddity (Odisea espacial)

Space Oddity was released in 1969, coinciding with the Apollo 11 moon landing.

The BBC featured the song in its television coverage of the first lunar landing.

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.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,3 ,2,1 , liftoff
This is ground control to major Tom. You´ve 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
I´m 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 I´m past one hundred thousand miles. I´m 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.
