@4hotspur I know right, I was playing it in my car and everyone was saying how they remember it... then a silence fell over the place and everyone said, This guy was pretty ahead of his time wasnt he.
I was just inspired by this song to design a pair of spacey shoes on Vein Wear's website. Vein men's shoes is having a One Hit Wonder competition on Facebook. Get inspired by a one hit wonder and have the chance to get your design hand made by master cobblers.
@dottorm1 no mate, im just saying that the song is now 15 years old and the time went real quick. Jas Mann is still alive and well. He doesnt make movies anymoree though, he does films and stuff now
Absolutely love this song, but I also feel that something just as astounding could be done with just the intro and the outro, it's disappointing that nothing that lives up to my modest expectatiions exists. Again, much love for the middle of the song too.
I first knew of this band via a track called "Parallel lines" on an NME cover tape in 1994 (as I remember), which I liked. I think that track is better than Spaceman.
@Theonedue, 'i killed YOUR', In the demo he sings, I killed your mother, I killed your Brother, I killed your...' but that was edited for the single release.
@redbart666 Wtf?! Really! The 90's where the best decade ever! Great music-movies-video games yeah the web was a bit crap, but c'mom it was a toddler in 96 and everyday it grew stronger better. Those where the days!! The future was going to be bright! The future was going to be excellent because the future was taking place right here right now and we the people where making it happen!
Best viewed without sound, it shows just how stupid the video shots are and of course the woman walking away near the end in the background with her hand sign of Satans servants - tells it all.
One-Hit-Wonder...sort of...and echoes of Bowie and Bolan (more so on follow-up Animal Army...particularly Bolan) but this was the last great DIFFERENT single...in my opinion. Fucking Hell...you gotta go back to the 90's to get a buzz. Lots of Brett Anderson here too :) xx
@seanlad there was a version of it on YouTube.. but the bastards took it down. It is a better version I have to admit. And I know for a fact it will be back up soon enough not to worry.
One of my earliest memories is being about 3 years old, being in the car at night with my mother driving and hearing a very electro sounding repetition of the words 'spaceman spaceman spaceman' then about 1 year ago i rediscovered this song and i was like omg i remember.
The memory of being 3 years old has stayed with me ever since.
@JarrodCook93 same for me, i remember this song from a very early age and it stayed in my head ever since, about 3 months ago i heard the song in a TV ad and was like omg!!! ive heard that somewhere, so i spent a while looking for it even though i didnt know the name or who made it, in the end i used what lyrics i could remember of the song and found it that way. i love youtube and Spaceman ;).
Probably one of the best one hit song ever!! With lyrics like "I can't get off the carousel" x3 "I can't get off this world"....... "I can't get off the carousel" x3 "I can't fall off this world" Pure classic!!
The lyrics were ahead of their time.....
