Major Tom (Coming Home) by Shiny Toy Guns [Fan Music Video] by Richard Colletta

I made this video for the Major Tom (Coming Home) cover by Shiny Toy Guns.
It's a cover of Peter Schilling's 1983 hit which was an homage to David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'
This song is available for free from the band's website here:

You can also get it from here (Download it now Link)

The video used in this is from:
First Spaceship on Venus by DEFA (1960), a public domain work.
All in all, This took me about 4 painstaking hours of editing to put together. It was a labor of love. If you notice, while you're watching all the video is matched to the words in the song. Needless to say, it took a bit longer than the normal slap random pictures/video over a song shtick that seems to be madly popular on YouTube :P
Not only is it one of my favorite songs ever but it's also my wife and mine's 'our song'.
I think you'll also appreciate that I gave Major Tom the ending he deserved.
Thanks to Shiny Toy Guns for making this awesome cover and giving it away for free! You guys rock!

@jetsamrover ok, how about this angle. In the film First Spaceship on Venus, quite a few crew members perish on their Venus excursions. Although some made it back in their fantastic silver spaceship, some did not. Long Live MST3K

How can you make a fan video to Major Tom and have him come home safe in the end? Have you listened to the song?

@jetsamrover Did Major Tom ever make it home? I think that's a subject for debate. I understand the lyrics imply MT may have chosen to stay in space but personally I like to think he made it back to Earth in the end.

@SuperAwesomeMovies
"Give my wife my love"
"This is my home"
"I'm coming home"
He did not come back to earth.

@jetsamrover Sure, those were in the song lyrics but how do you know for sure Major Tom didn't make it back to Earth later or for that matter make a pitstop at a bar on Mars and jam out with some space babes? It's not definitive. It leaves his fate open to interpretation by the listener.
