nope.

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
VTEC just kicked in, yo!

The only true Major Tom:

[quote=Peter Schilling]Gründlich durchgecheckt,
steht sie da, und
wartet auf den Start.
Alles klar.
Experten streiten sich
um ein paar Daten.
Die Crew hat dann noch
ein paar Fragen, doch --
der Countdown läuft.

Effektivität
bestimmt das Handeln.
Man verlässt sich blind
auf den Andern.
Jeder weiß genau,
was von ihm abhängt.
Jeder ist im Stress,
doch Major Tom
macht einen Scherz.
Dann hebt er ab und:

Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
völlig schwerelos.

Die Erdanziehungskraft
ist überwunden.
Alles läuft perfekt,
schon seit Stunden:
Wissenschaftliche
Experimente.
»Doch was nützen die
am Ende« denkt
sich Major Tom.

Im Kontrollzentrum,
da wird man panisch.
Der Kurs der Kapsel, der
stimmt ja gar nicht.
»Hallo, Major Tom,
können Sie hören?
Wollen Sie das Projekt
denn so zerstören?« Doch --
Er kann nichts hören.
Er schwebt weiter ...

Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
schwebt das Raumschiff
völlig schwerelos.

Die Erde schimmert blau.
Sein letzter Funk kommt:
»Grüßt mir meine Frau.«
Und er verstummt ...

Unten trauern noch
die Egoisten,
Major Tom denkt sich
»Wenn die wüssten,
mich führt hier ein Licht
durch das All.
Das kennt ihr noch nicht.
Ich komme bald;
Mir wird kalt ...«

Völlig losgelöst
von der Erde
Schwebt das Raumschiff
völlig schwerelos ...[/quote]

Somehow, I prefer the English version.

A great song. Nothing can be more fun than some Bowie.

So Im sitting my tin can, oh...

It sort of goes like that :)

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare..

Didn't Bowie write the song with the German guy's song in mind?
Epstein didn't kill himself.

Thats even better. Nothing brings more to a room that Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Just a pity that I know all the words accuratley enough. I remeber that a thread was started to do the song. This very chap (me) derailed the thread by getting the lyrics wrong.

I think these threads are intresting :)

I am truly sorry and appologetic about keeping the thread alive :)
2007-03-16, 7:28 AM #28
Hmm. Didn't know there were numerous variations of the song.

And yet... and yet... I don't find Bohemian Rhapsody to be Queen's best song at all. >.>;; That honour befalls Innuendo if you ask me. o:

Actually, Peter Schilling, who wrote the German Major Tom, claims that he didn't know Bowie's song. But Bowie still came first.

Well, it's intriguing that they both used the same name of "Major Tom."
