There was a popular song out in the summer/fall of '83 entitled 'Major 
Tom', put out by some group in Germany.  I have the single of it, (at home 
of course,) and it has the song recorded in English on one side and German 
on the other.

Oh yes: the full title was "Major Tom (Coming Home)".

It is definitely an SF song, and a video that was made for it that MTV 
showed for a while had most of the song's action taking place in orbit 
around the Earth.

Just my $.02 worth...
