The latest version features a cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling, which is a sequel to David Bowie's "Space Oddity". It is also the prequel to David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes". The song is available for download at: http://shinytoyguns.com/news/transmission-to-major-tom/
"Ground Control to Major Tom" was written by David Bowie and released in 1969 as part of his album "Space Oddity."
David Bowie wrote and sang Space Oddity, which centers around a fictional astronaut, Major Tom. Peter Schilling also sang in relation to that character, Major Tom (Coming Home), and Shiny Toy Guns has done a version of Schilling's song as well.

It's a remix of the title cut from his 1976 album, "I Want You."
David Bowie, definitely! He made a much bigger impact in music. Not discounting Tom Petty's contributions, but Bowie is more widely known and much more influential.
Many people think "Major Tom" is a real person, yet he is actually fictional. He was created from the evolution of singer/actor David Bowie. Peter Schilling also included "Major Tom" in his song "Coming Home."
