Best David Bowie cover ever (Astronaut sings "Space Oddity" in space!)

Here he is, sitting in his tin can far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing he can do...
except make a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," apparently.

For those who haven't seen astronaut Chris Hadfield's cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," which he recorded on the International Space Station, here you go.



This is ground control to Colonel Chris. You've really made the grade.

Best cover of a David Bowie song EVER.

C is for Cookie Monster cover version

Apparently C is not only for Cookie but also for Cover, as in Cover song.

Adding to the already impressive (or annoying, depending on your POV) collection of cover versions* of Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Maybe" (perhaps the most covered song ever, followed closely by Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know"**) comes Cookie Monster's "(You got cookie) Share It Maybe."



Forget topping the Billboard Top 100 chart for five weeks in a row, all you singers and musicians. You know you've really arrived when Sesame Street covers your song.

Give that blue monster a cookie.

*This is still my favorite "Call Me Maybe" cover, though, which the teenager and I do whenever we hear it in the car -- until she tells me to put my hands back on the steering wheel.

**Love the Peyton Manning/Tim Tebow and Star Wars covers.
