Planet Earth is Blue, And There's Nothing Left to Do..

And this may simply be the greatest cover by anyone, of anyone, ever.  I here give you all my beloved public International Space Station Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield, covering Bowie's inverse epic Major Tom:

Incidentally, the shirt's 14$ at Target (that's pronounced "Tar-jeh-aye").

Oh, How We the Common Must Cry..

This is my song this week.  It's over the top hipster twee, forsure (with an Ira Glass & John Hodgman cameo!) but I cannot care anymore, I abjectly & simply love it.  Hope you enjoy it, too:

(It seems Blogger and YouTube are at odds these days, I can't get any embedded videos to play properly here - click on the YouTube icon in the bar at the bottom of the video window here to link to the video there, if it refuses to play.. Or else just click here.)

The Semi-Sensical Quasi-Prophetical Lyrics:

If it'd been my youth would it come to me,

Oh love won’t you bite my eye?
I miss the sweet God in men,
Baffle a skeleton dry.
All they wanted was a villain, a villain,
And all they had was me.
All they wanted was a villain, a villain,
So then they just took me.

Hold my county line, get down on my city floor.
I will suffer no humans, they've been my habit before.
Ah Oh, and how the earth did shake.
And tumble and tremble, for what the people do take.
And I want in, all over your mind.
Cause oh, how we, the common do cry!

Ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooo waoohwaoooh..

Ooh waha, aha, aha, Ooh waha, aha, aha
Where do you go from me?
Ooh aha, aha
When I wait for you faithfully?
Oh aha, aha
And will they take my life in time?
Ooh aha, aha
I love my girl, will you remind her?
Ooh aha, aha
And oh how we, the common do cry!

Ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooo waoohwaoooh..

We die, we die, we die until we try.
We die, we die, we die until we try.
Well I could be yours, you could be mine.
Well I could be yours, and you would be mine.

If it'd been my youth would have come to me?
Oh love won’t you bite my eye?
I miss the sweet God in men,
Baffle a skeleton dry.
All they wanted was a villain, a villain,
And all they had was me.
All they wanted was a villain, a villain,
So then they just took me.

Hold my county line, get down on my city floor.
I will suffer no humans, they've been my habit before.
Ah woah, how we, the common must cry!

Ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooo waoohwaoooh..

And oh, how we, the common must cry!

Ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooh, ooh ooha, wahooah, ooo waoohwaoooh oohwah..
