DAVID BOWIE - SPACE ODDITY | WE WERE THROWN INTO SPACE!!! | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@taniaPBear]

You can't lose with Bowie, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and onward. He never stopped making amazing music and he never stopped changing, always had a new look and sound to go with that era.

Man he's new to you? Only one of the great rock and roll artists in history. Ok so there's Suffragette City, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, Starman, Young Americans, Fame, Under Pressure with Freddy Mercury, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, I'm Afraid of Americans, and so many more. Welcome to the David Bowie rabbit hole, you're in for a treat, my Bros!

[@j.j.4150]

Kind of saddening to me how everybody is just mentioning the obvious ones. Nobody mentions masterpieces like "Station To Station", "Stay", or "Cygnet Committee" among many other Tunes I consider way superior to his Radio Hits lol. But you can't go wrong with Bowie either way, I guess.

[@ScottDeBerg]

What samsbro1952 said. Every song he mentioned - PLUS The Jean Genie, Station to Station, and more recent Bowie - "China Girl" and "Modern Love".

[@annemaclean6634]

It's great that you're reacting to David Bowie songs and this one in particular. He was so influential in the 60s and 70s and beyond and I must have had loads of his songs. This one definitely takes you on a trip into outer space or beyond. You just go with it and enjoy.The film 2001 A Space Odyssey came out in 1968 and this song was released in 1969 so I reckon this was based on the movie. I loved songs like Jean Genie, Heroes, Rebel Rebel, Ziggy Stardust, Oh You Pretty Things, honestly the list is endless! David Bowie was a master at changing his image and sound, I think he was a genius at what he did! You're right, George, 70s rock is brilliant - so much experimentation was going on, bands finding their niche if you like and of course with all the different instruments making psychedelic sounds, it was like nothing we'd ever heard before!! Loads of new bands starting up, we were really spoilt! I'm so glad you've started doing reactions for David Bowie, I'm sure you will do plenty more. I so enjoyed your reaction to this one, George and Patrick, obviously something new for you and it's great you really got into it! All the best.

[@johnandrews3151]

Space Oddity was the first top 40 hit for David Bowie in the USA. It was a top 15 hit for him. The album version is longer. A few years before this, David Bowie produced the top 40 hit by Mott The Hoople called All The Young Dudes.

[@j.j.4150]

YES, finally Bowie. Would love "Moonage Daydream" next.

[@eviekelpie1]

[@Terri6868]

Boys you have to realize the time in history. The space race was on, man had just walked on the moon. Bowie was called the chameleon always changing. His last album came out 2 days before his death. Major Tom was still there. 🔥

[@glenndespres5317]

This was written and released right at the same time Apollo 11 landed and Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey came out. What a freakin’ time to be young! Are you kidding me??? Written from the perspective of the lonely astronaut floating in a tin can, depending on his electronic guidance. If you want a rocker from Bowie, try The Gene Genie for sure!

While this song is fresh in your minds. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE watch Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield's version of this song.

David Bowie is a legend. The Queen vid u two just reacted to..Under Pressure.. Bowie co-wrote the song with Freddie Mercury. He has a plethora of great songs! Thanks for reacting to this vid!

[@chrismeadows4216]

Before you get started on a ton of space-related songs, I wanna let you know only about a dozen Bowie songs out of 400 are involved with space. His career was incredibly diverse, so you'll hear a ton of songs about other things. This music video came out 4 years after the song and had nothing to do with Ziggy Stardust, and I'm glad you used a thumbnail for the right era, because there's an earlier music video for the demo version where he was more of a hippie. I strongly recommend you check out some of his different material as well as the songs people have mentioned. My picks for you two are: Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud from the same record All the Madmen from The Man Who Sold the World Hang on to Yourself from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars Lady Grinning Soul from Aladdin Sane We Are the Dead from Diamond Dogs Win from Young Americans Sons of the Silent Age from Heroes Teenage Wildlife from Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) Loving the Alien from Tonight As the World Falls Down from the Labyrinth Soundtrack Seven Years in Tibet from Earthling Bring Me the Disco King from Reality You Feel So Lonely You Could Die from The Next Day If you pick any of these songs, whichever sound the most interesting to you, I can guarantee you'll be stunned. Keep up the great work! ❤

As you get older he gets better. I’m a child of the 60s and 70s and he was the soundtrack to my youth. What an amazing talent. 😀

[@jonm1114]

This song is actually from 1969, the same year as the first moon landing, so it would be more accurate to say that it anticipated the music of the 1970s. That is certainly no surprise, as David Bowie was an innovator and managed to stay a little ahead of his time throughout his career. He was one of the great geniuses of classic rock.

[@lisaconnin359]

I saw many concerts. This was the first concert that put on a theatrical show. During this song he flew over the crowd in a cherry picker. It was the first time we saw him play this song. We all thought the same as you....wants going on?

Bowie was a fantastic entertainer. I saw him many times in concert and, similar to the Talking Heads, it's performance art. Bowie is one of those performers who reinvented his persona many times. The Major Tom character has surface a few times throughout the decades but space references were found all the way to his last album, Blackstar. His performance in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth was as an alien.
