Space Oddity is a song by David Bowie, and covered by Joe Hawley and Andrew Kurtz at some point in the early 2000s. Later, during Sonic Lunch 2016, Joe performed the song acoustically.

As of now, the cover has yet to resurface, and its existence is only confirmed by Joe himself. It can be assumed however that Space Oddity would sound similar to Joe and Andrew's other cover, Lady Madonna.

Lyrics

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

(Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!)
(gibberish)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you--

--Here am I floating in a tin can
Far above the moon (far above the moon)
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
