Can You Hear Me, Major Tom?

(Para disfrutar completamente esta entrada, seguir a la vez la letra al final del post y los diez puntos, que van por orden de aparición en la canción)

Cosas geniales de esta canción:

1 - Que por mucho que la conozcas siempre tienes que regular el volumen.
2 - Los coros que Bowie se hace a sí mismo.
3 - La cuenta atrás.
4 - La estrofa inmediatamente posterior.
5 - La línea de bajo a partir de la cuenta atrás.
6 - Que los periódicos quieran saber de qué color lleva los gallumbos un astronauta. (Yo mantengo que dice "Shorts" y no "Shirts", aunque Internet y la letra del disco lo niegue).
7 - La Bamba.
8 - El Momento Zappa justo después de ella.
9 - El "Fading" homenaje-plagio a los Beatles de los últimísimos años.
10 - La letra:

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's 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 leave the capsule if you dare

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."
