  • I don't like the Peter Schilling version :P

  • Shitty rendition. Her voice is way too processed and her voice is just to generic. Just sounds like she's raising her voice. Not really singing.

    Until a TALENTED female vocalist does a better version, the original Major Tom by Peter Schilling will be the best one.

  • This video went viral on San Jose

  • Who else got here from "Caillou dies in running red light car crash" ...anyone?

  • I find this song really sad... am i the only one?

  • @drawingablankduhhh No I think it sounds a little sad for some reason too! Not the part where it goes like "One two three four!" but the rest

  • @drawingablankduhhh I dont think it's sad, just a little haunting. After Major Tom went into space, he saw the magnificence beyond our world. After that, he didn't want to come back to Earth. It's very poetic, and my curiosity begs for me to see what it was Major Tom saw.

  • This video went viral on Haiti

  • Its a lovely song <3

  • This reminds me of Portal.

  • @LUCKYJ3SS3 It's based off a David Bowie song called Space Oddity from 1969.

  • @michelledalenaa ohhh thanks

  • I came here because I actually know this band XD

  • I want to play this song while going down the high way. And every chorus just nail the throttle and never slow down. Just down shift and go. I think my car taps out at 147 mph or so..................

  • Pretty Dang sure that Peter Schilling, not David Bowie originally did this song

  • ROID RAGE!!!!!

  • its a lot better when chad sings in it to

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't this song based of a true event? I know its not about an astronaut named Major Tom but my dad said that david bowie made it as a tribute to a guy who died in space. does anyone know if thats true? Does anyone now more about it?

    this is such a sad song I'm addicted to it though ever since i've been more curious about whats out there. (space)

  • @SelenaGomeznum1fan16 - Although there were two Apollo astronauts named Tom, neither were Majors and both returned home safely. Bowie's creation of Major Tom may have been influenced by drugs and Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

    As for your curiosity about what's out there? "The truth is out there" - Fox Mulder 

  • Isnt this song based of a true event? not saying its based on a guy named major tom but my dad says that its david bowie wrote it as a tribute to a guy who died in space doese anyone know if thats true and more about it?

  • i came here cuz i watched derick rose NBA video

  • this song is epic, but what is it about, at the part when it says "this is my home", I don't understand that.

  • @nintendork2001 - [heaven] ; major tom is fictional character written by david bowie

  • @zweenguyen I know that Major Tom is a fictional Character written by David Bowie, and thanks for the reply.

  • @nintendork2001 - Then "we know Major Tom's a junkie. Strung out on heaven's high, hitting an all-time low". =P

  • @nintendork2001  I am not positive who wrote the original but it probably was NOT David Bowie. It was originally performed by Peter Schilling and was originally performed in German - the language it was written in. It was received well and was translated into Englis and recorded in English.

  • @bt36111

    Peter Schilling - Major Tom 1983 look for post by fritz5116

  • @bt36111 It is Fritz5117 not 5116. Please pardon the error.

  • @bt36111 - we were talking about origin of the character major tom, not the title of the song.

  • How could you NOT like this song?

  • This song is epic! I listened to it all day!

  • I listing the song when I play Mass effect 1+ 2 

  • i think of Aliens when i hear this idk why..

  • @TheOmgKidd maybe because its futuristic techno, with references to "earth below us" lol

  • @TheOmgKidd Aliens as in Tokio Hotel fans ;-D

  • thumbs up if your watching in 2011

  • @BeastlyIncorperated Stop trying to get thumbs up. If you want a thumbs up, try a witty and original comment. Not a "watching in 2011" comment.

  • Whenever they say 4,3,2,1, i feel like their mising a number !! LOL Idk why.

  • I love this vid!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • <3 this songgg!

  • What marketing genius thought the best way to market Lincolns (cars for older people) with some remake of a techno song?

    What marketing genius thought people would want a car after they associated it with mechanical malfunction?

  • the way the 80s changed us =)

  • I remember seeing this Lincoln commercial with this song.

    I kept asking my parents what it was, till I realized it was Major Tom

    Months later and it's still one of my favorites :)

  • Major Tom, a captian on a space ship, around the year 2100, is on a mission in space. He Thinks about the outcome of this mission. All of a sudden the ship is failing to work properly, And Ground Control is trying to make Contact with Major Tom. Meanwhile, all Crew Members are Dead, and Major Tom is on an edge of this futuristic Spacecraft, looking down at earth, and reflecting on his entire existence. Ground Control thinks Major Tom, along with the rest of the crew, have all died.He's Alive.

  • German original is way better.

  • Not the real video but of people and a spaceship and stuff :)

  • Everytime I hear this song I can picture a video to go with it inside of my mind

  • @MizShye  check my comment and tell me if it matches your intepretation.

  • Gale sings it better.

  • @SternerStuffXBL Ha ha I was pleasently suprised when I saw him singing this.

  • @SternerStuffXBL haha agreed

  • I listened to this song for 6 hours straight while high on Acid-best 6 hours of my life-and it was THIS video too

  • listen to Major Tom isntead. shitty cover.

  • Why can't I stop listening to this song? D:

  • amazing playing in WIC online in mod 2 and this song! fuckin amazing and motivating!

  • One time my friend was sitting in the room, and I heard this song playing. So I said "I haven't heard this in so long!" She looked at me like I was crazy. Well apparently there was no song playing, I'm just crazy xD But i still LOVE this song.

  • This is the most addicting thing I heard recently ... I don't usualy like this kind of music but .. Who cares heh

  • The last shuttle went up today.

  • Come home safely STS-135 crew.

  • The US just want peace.

    A little piece of Iraq and

    A piece of Afghanistan

  • @lesdoyle2000 Shut the fuck up with your political bullshit. Dont ruin the comments of this song.

  • 58 people are not coming home. How sad..

  • This girls voice brought me to tears man... That doesn't happen often...

  • Best part is 0:19 - 4:06 :):):):)

  • ANIME EXPO. "Calling" AMV!!!!!!!!!

  • queen of the damned

  • FINALLY I found the song on that one Lincoln commercial, great song....

  • 58 dislikes? 58 shiny toy douchebags!

  • This is a terrible version vocally and well....musically lame too.

  • @blitzspeer LOL are you serious?? You've heard the original right??

  • This is a tirade against abortion. The baby not yet born, to his wife that he will never know. And to heaven he goes.

    You may think I'm nuts. That's okay. Those aborted babies were destined for something.

  • @MLBuckProductions luanch emission module?

  • @Jasshands1

    It's called the Lunar Excursion Module, or LEM for short. It's a secondary spacecraft built for landing on the moon. The Command Module, or CM stays in orbit of the moon, while the "ground" team conducts experiments, collects samples, and goofs around in the low-gravity environment.

  • dude im soo tired right now but dosnt the begining sound like mass effect?

  • wow epic, first time I heard this song.

  • This is one of my dad's favorite songs xD I got into it because I heard him play it one day.

  • i love this song !! ♥♥

  • o-o this song kinda creeps me out, lol. I watched the song by david bowie space oddity. He goes "Can you hear me major tom?" Though I dont get major tom. >.<

  • @er0723 The song Major Tom (Coming Home) is somewhat based on the character in Space Oddity even though it was written in the 80s their are lots of songs based on this character of David Bowie's (including Ashes to Ashes)

  • @MLBuckProductions LEM Lunar Excursion Module. It's what the astronauts landed on the moon with. Apollo 13 was able to survive by abandoning the main capsule for the LEM. They had to cut it loose before re-entry.

  • I get the shivers everytime I hear this song. Good times

  • 58 people have not gone in space and put this song on P.S.

    AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The original is still better<3

  • @Pornstarelectr0 never heard the original but this one is pretty damn good, and the girl who sings it is absolutely gorgeous!

  • @GodlessMartyr666 You should hear it its by peter schilling

    and yea she is gorgeous :D

  • @MLBuckProductions It's actually the landing craft designed for the moon landing ('Lunar-Excursion-Module'). I understand that Major Tom uses it to get home to earth. Bye the way great song :) and great ad by US manufacturer Lincoln!

  • Goddamn I love this chicks voice.

  • Roid Rage?

  • i dont know anything about this commercial but im here from glebstar, a dubstep artist cuz he did a remix XD

  • I used to listen to this on the way to school. God, I love this.

  • bald besser als unsere deutsche version^^

    seems to be better than the german one´s

  • So beautiful

  • is it "calling falling" ? 

  • This is the only song in which I love both versions, but Schillings...just a bit more favorable!

  • @MLBuckProductions LEM = Lunar Excursion Module, i.e. the landing craft they used on the lunar missions.

  • Awesome song, when i play CoD i always play this lol.

  • @oD4RKASSASSINo

    Win. I do the same thing xD

  • I wont lie I kinda like it.

  • What about the original version?

    Major Tom by Peter Schilling

  • Comment removed

  • summer time mean major tom time

  • @JakeSully34 That's right!

  • This song gives me the chills.

  • The First time I heard this song was during the commercial for the Lincoln MLK and then later on I looked it up and now I love this song :D

  • @MLBuckProductions LEM is the lunar exploration module.

  • I approve this song.

  • I like this version and the Schilling version. I get a completely different feel from each of them - Schilling's, to me, is more wistful, almost sad, like there is no homecoming and something is lost. Whereas this feels as though something amazing, wonderful, beyond comprehension is happening - futuristic in the true sense. And I adore both versions, for totally different reasons.

  • I'm here cause of Lincoln MKZ commercial

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome remake I love it

  • I simply cannot, and will not, stop listening to this song. Filthy wonderful.

  • Major Tom songs always make me sad. :(

  • This is my new favorite song. ^^

  • I do not understand what people hear/see in this genre of music. Now I'm not trying to make fun of anyone or anything but this genre just desnt light the kind of fire that nu metal and most genres of rock do

  • @MrVgmaster

    All a matter of preference. I don't see why people like country, or rap, but they do.

  • @TwinUzis Country singers use little to no voice manipulators and sound amazing, while rappers and most of the other genres use it like drugs.

  • @JPOGFreak I am going to have to disagree with you heavily that country singers sound good.

  • @MrVgmaster It's subjective. I like this song in particular because it's smooth, good rhythm, lyrics, and has a nice mix of guitars and synthesizers. I like this genre, as well as a bit more in the electronica direction, because of the flexibility and diversity of synthesizers over your fairly stock base combination of guitar+bass+drums used in straight rock and metal.

  • 2:56-4:10 if u wish to orgasm.

  • The chorus sweeps make me PISSSHITCOME everytime.

  • The download link doesn't work anymore.

  • @MLBuckProductions

    Yes and no, they used the LEM in Apollo 13 as a life boat after the O2 tanks exploded. To date im not sure how accurate the movie was, but the Apollo 13 Disaster did involve some incredible human engineering to overcome, they did survive and there are some similarities to this song.

  • finally, no procrastinating

  • Original by Peter Schilling, also named major tom...

  • Lol. I love Bowie's original, as well as Peter Shilling's version, but I love this more. It has more feeling, and really convinces you. Ahh, it gives me chills.

    Also, I heard on the radio one day; a guy, calling this radio-station, right? His name was Tom, and his call got disconnected or something, but they said, "CALLING, CALLING MAJOR TOM!" Lmfao. <3

  • cool

  • but it is a cover

  • @cav22s isn´t it a cover from peter shilling?

  • this isnt a cover of the david bowie song just so you know

  • ugghhh this hurts in the ears... her voice....

    the original is sooooo damned much better... why do they have to ruin all the good old classics?

  • @GabbaStabba I think her voice sounds sexy as hell in this song. Although, original is original.

  • Uh... You guys do realize that this isn't really about a "space craft" or anything right? He's describing a "high" episode, lol.

  • @Kage6415 the song is actually a play off Space Oddity by David Bowie, learn your pop culture, brosef

  • @orangebluemango I know that. Many people keep taking this song in a complete literal sense but if you think about the artist and his history with drug use, you can make a clear connection of how this song can correlate to getting a high.

  • like ittttttttttt

    

  • this song should be in a zombie movie.
