This cover of Peter Schilling's 80s classic is very good. The Shiny Toy Guns add their usual modern electronic pizazz, with Sisely's soft vocals and once again we have a hit. True to the original, but with a delightful spin, this song is WELL worth listening to for any 80s fan, or Shiny Toy Guns fan. In fact, if you were a New Wave/Electronica fan, you might just love it too!!

This is a fantastic song, but Shiny Toy Guns officially released this song for free distribution on their official website.

This is an AMAZING cover of Major Tom. Sisley's vocals are amazing. I HIGHLY suggest adding this to your collection. Well worth the 99 cents.

Heard this version in some advertisement on television and was impressed enough to look it up here on Amazon. I really like this version. They've kept the feeling of the original song but transformed it enough to make it feel new too. Really nicely done.

This is a great cover of the original. I actually heard this on a commercial on television for a car but the lyrics tickled enough of my memory to do a bit of net searching until I had located both the version used on T.V. (this one) and the original which, sadly, does not appear to be available at present for MP3 download from amazon. In any event, this is a great cover and a really enjoyable listen.

This song is incredible! I liked it from the moment I heard it in the Lincoln commercial.

If Linclon could just now make cars like they make and remake songs with Shiny Toy Guns, Draft Punk, Cat Power and etc. The songs make me want to buy a Lincoln. I race to the TV to see Lincoln commercials. Sadly things do not go well for Major Tom. I hope things fair better for Lincoln.

I like this version of Major Tom. I am sure others will disagree, but this is, however, my review

Great version/remake of a great song.... can't stop listening to it!!!! So I broke open my LP stash and cranked out not only Peter Schilling but the original, grand-master himself ..... David Bowie. David Bowie did the the original Major Tom in '69.
I had forgotten how good LPs can sound compared to digital.
Thank you, Amazon, for turning me onto the Shiny Toy Guns and for inspiring a trip down memory lane.....

Ever since hearing a piece of this on the Lincoln commercial, I've been waiting for the full version. This doesn't disappoint at all. It really sounds great. As a total child of the 80s (Plano East Class of '89), I have to say that this cover totally does justice to the original!
