Song review: Shiny Toy Guns - Major Tom

Major Tom (Coming Home) by Shiny Toy Guns, Music Lyrics and Video

Major Tom is a single by American indie/rock/electronica band Shiny Toy Guns, from their remix album, "Girls Le Disko", which was released on December 15, 2009 on Ultra Records.

The song is a cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by singer Peter Schilling from his album "Error in the System". With unofficial character relation of "Major Tom", the theme of David Bowie's 1969 album Space Oddity, the song is about the character being caught in an accident in space.

The cover of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" originally appeared in a 2009 commercial for the 2010 Lincoln MKZ and is the first single for the album. In January 2010, Shiny Toy Gun teamed up with Lincoln again to produce a music video for Major Tom. It features a live recording of Major Tom (which includes Chad's vocals along with Sisely's vocals) and was aired during the 52nd Grammy commercials supporting Lincoln.

Here is the official video for the song.
