カナダ人宇宙飛行士Col.Chris HadfieldによるDavid Bowieのカヴァー。International Space Stationにて収録。
こちら原曲ではMajor Tom（トム少佐）だがChrisはColonel（大佐）
歌詞がいくつか変えてありますね。
原曲では眼前の「宇宙」に圧倒されて、そして己の無力さに何もかもどうでもよくなってしまう、そこへ電気系統のトラブルで…
というのが、やるべきことをすべて終えて無事に帰還するハッピーエンドにアレンジされてます。。。
Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two)
Detouch from station (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to
guide the capsule if you dare
This is major Tom to ground control,
I've left for evermore
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I
left to do
Though I'm
flawn one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
And before too long I know it's time to go
a commander comes down back to erath
Ground control to major Tom, the time is near, there's not too long
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you...
Here am I
floating in my tin can
( ? ? ? ) the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing
left do
サラ・ブライトマンと岩城滉一がそれぞれ月と弾道軌道めざすならデヴィッド・ボウイが火星めざさない理由がない。
