thought it would be fun to put visuals from the Stanley Kubrick film "2001" to Peter Schilling's "Major Tom". It turned out a lot better than I thought it would.
This is a tweak of the original edit to fit with the German (original) radio version of "Major Tom". (Apologies for the misspelling in the title card.) It's about a minute shorter, and my copy of it was just a touch faster than the English version, so I basically needed to tweak every single edit in it.

Das ist Schade. Ihn haben sie im Stich gelassen.....genauso wie Laika.

@Willenbrock96 kommt drauf an... ich finde es eigentlich total schön und positiv, denn major tom sagt zwar zum schluss ihm wird kalt, aber davor sagt er ja dass er bald zurückkommt. er war halt auf ner besonderen reise, dessen ende durch das eintreten der kälte eingeläutet wird. wer sagt dass er jetzt mit der neuen erfahrung "mich führt ein licht durchs all" "wenn die wüssten" nicht zurück auf die erde kommt. die kälte muss nicht automatisch für den tod stehen.

I just translated the German version to English.. it has a VERY different meaning in terms of viewpoint from the Astronaut. Kind of cynical.. the lyrics in English were clearly candy-coated for US airplay.

I thought that the German pronunciation of the word "Major" sounded phonetically more like "MAH Yoor".... weird. Guess it's the area of Germany he was from. My relatives who were from there always thought it was odd when they heard this song.

hab mir damals den Film "2001" auf Pilze angesehen.Booooaarr waren das knallige Farben. Die Flugszene gegen Ende des Films war so intensiv und farbenfroh. Sau Sau geil

@tommywiseauwarrior - You are incorrect. Yes, yes it is German. You're assuming that the German lyrics are the same as the English, and any quick search on the net, or any research on your part would show you otherwise.

@tommywiseauwarrior Man, you're ignorant. THIS IS GERMAN and this song should be, it is the original one.
