For screwing up this song, forever:
This is the goddamn ad:
I guess the geniuses in Lincoln's ad department didn't catch the fact that at the end of the song, Major Tom is killed.

I think it was Lincoln that did the same damned thing to "Under the Milky Way Tonight," too. Frackers.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you had they used the Bowie version, but since they played the Schilling version with no reference of death I believe that although you tried to grasp the straw. You missed.
ReplyDeleteLincoln has used a version of the Bowie song.
ReplyDeleteMeh. They went from Space Oddity and skipped over Shillings Major Tom to Shiny Toy guns Major Tom version.
ReplyDeleteIt's a car commercial for a crappy car.
Ignored. Look at the brighter side, it could have been GM, entirely clue free.
The music, it's fine by me I didn't know Shilling's version till I'd found the Shiny Toy Guns version and thought it was pretty good.
From a music for music sake, cool beans.
Car commercials, well, they all lie.
Eck!
Aww. I think the music will survive. I can ignore it, and forgive the thin white duke making some money. The heathen.
ReplyDeleteAside from the music, I've always had a huge crush on Bowie. Not sure what that says about me.
Speaking of Mr. Jones, have you seen the movie "Moon" yet? Directed by his son Duncan, a $5M indie film that is actually pretty good. Been at the top of my Netflix queue for months and finally came.
