cat power apparently that is a band but has nothing to do with the commercial as far as i can tell the correct answer is: Lincoln TV spot, featuring Shiny Toy Guns sparkling new cover of the classic "Major Tom" (originally recorded in the mid-80s by Peter Schilling, it was a retelling of David Bowie's classic 1969 song "Space Oddity".) http://shinytoyguns.com/news/major-tom/ yoho
The original was performed by Blue Oyster Cult, and it's called Burnin' For You . The remake for the Lincoln commercial was performed by Shiny Toy Guns, who also performed another remake ("Major Tom") for a Lincoln commercial in 2008.

The previous answer is referring to the 2010 Lincoln MKZ commercial. The song is Major Tom by Shiny Toy Guns. The song was originally done by Peter Schilling.
The Car is a Lincoln "MKS" and the song is "Major Tom" origanlly done by David Bowie. Ford needs this right now and it's about time they catch up with the times and get some cool commercials out there. Chan Marshall AKA Cat Powers provides the vocals on the Lincoln commercial. She is known for her intimate voice
If it's for the Lincoln MKZ commercial. The song is called ... Major Tom (coming home) by Shiny Toy Guns it was originally sung by Peter Schillling - NJ Hope it's the right song u were looking for. = =
