This is a great song-- an update of "Space Oddity" for a new generation. I'll bet David Bowie got a kick out of it...

CopyboyVideo, are you refering to the waitresses you see on rollerskates? I would like to assume that this has to do with the fact that the moonlanding ties in with the waitresses somehow.

I love this video and everything about it.

Thanks for the response!I guess I never thought of that.

Space is his "home". The song basically implies that he is actually a spaceman and going into space is like "coming home".

before I see the lyrics, I use to sing:"4 3 2 1 HELL below us..."most appropriated.

I can't stop watching this video. I have been looking for this song FOREVER. Thanks for posting. I guess Peter Schiller is still quite popular in Germany.

I am not sure if this has been covered yet, but where does Major Tom end up at the end of the song, back to Earth or lost in space?

The waitresses I would assume are an homage to the 50s, which is when the U.S. space program began.
