Name That Tune took a trip back to 1983 this morning with “Major Tom” from Peter Schilling. The song is from Peter’s album “Error in the System” and peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Major Tom” was originally recorded in German and is supposed to be the “unofficial” protagonist character of David Bowie’s 1969 song “Space Oddity.” The song is about the character being caught in an accident in space.
