Commercial Madness: Cat Power, Cover Fiend – Lincoln Makes Space Oddity
It’s no secret that Cat Power loves a good cover and loves using them in commercials. The people at Lincoln recently featured her version of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” for the new MKS commercial. If someone would be so kind as to share this with our readers, please email me. I can’t find it anywhere.
[UPDATE: We wrote an open letter to Matador records requesting they free Cat Power's "Space Oddity"! Show your support by commenting.]
[UPDATE: We received a (very prompt) response from Matador Records.]
Cat Power – “Space Oddity”
Labels: Commercial Madness, Video
As far as I know, it’s a 30 second clip commissioned by Lincoln. Maybe if enough people want it they’ll release a full version.
If somebody knows where to get a full version please let me know
looking for the same piece of music!!!!!
I hope they release a whole version of the song. :/
I’ll be super dissapointed if they don’t.
In the past, Lincoln has been good about releasing good music from their ads. What’s up with withholding Cat Power’s version of “Space Oddity”?
hey wtf ive talked to like 30 ppl and we all want th full version watz the hold up?
Don’t know – everyone seems to be looking for it. We don’t have it either. Sigh… Perhaps we should write a letter to Lincoln!
She is a cover fiend. But she’s the best at it. I want the full version.
well i will add my 2 cents… I love this song, and love Cat Powers, she does an amazing job, and i do really hope they will release the full version…. really do….
that clip was very good. i just saw the commercial, and came to the computer to look it up. yeah, i’d really like to hear a full version
We would love to hear the full version also. Had to pull it up on Google to get it, and enjoyed the short clip. Hope they play the full version.
iTunes has already lost out on at least 30 bucks! Release the damn song!! =)
would love to have the full version
I’ve been looking for this too. I hope they release this song soon.
hey i agree with everyone of them im waiting for the full version of this song and whats the hold up for it.
[...] many of you may know, we recently posted an article informing our readers that Cat Power is indeed behind the song for Lincoln’s new commercial. In [...]
They have got to put the full version out. I’m writing Lincoln today!
Love it. Can’t get it out of my mine. I want it on my cell phone!!!
Better than Bowie’s version.
Please release a full version!
It’s disappointing that they haven’t released a full version. I’d definitely buy that.
I have been looking for 30 minutes for the full version and I just now found this website. I’d love the full version… the best song i’ve heard in years!!!
I want it too!
Whatta jip.
there is a version by Natalie Merchant that is pretty good as well. not quite as good as Cat power’s tho.
Great song I sure hope the release the full version of this teriffic song. Much better than the David Bowie version.
Better than Bowie’s version?? What’s WRONG with you people??? It’s a good cover song ( I wouldn’t be on this site if I didn’t think so) but she wouldn’t have this marvelous song to cover if it wasn’t for the original! What did she do differently to warrant the song being better? From what I hear the arrangements are similar to the original and only her vocals carry the weight of the difference. Let’s all give credit to where credit is due..and not dethrone the value of David Bowie’s musical input to the world. Know your rock and roll roots, people!
I WANT the Cat Powers version of Bowie song Space Oddity. The original Bowie version is fantastic, but Cat Power’s short version on the commercial is equally fantastic. I WANT A COPY OF THE FULL VERSION. Please Cat Power, release a full version SOON.
Claire from Miami.
Just to add to the list. I want this song.
OMG I NEED THE FULL VERSION!~ IVE BEEN WATCHING THE SHROT CLIPPS AND STUFF , BUT IT STILL DOESENT SATISFY\111` I SENT A LETTER TO CAT POWERS, HOPE SHE GETS IT\!~

I agree, this song’s been in my head for a few days and I’m really sad to see they dont have a full version of it…soooo sad!! some one work on this!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this as a single…
Can’t get the song out of my head ! It’s such a beautiful, amazing version of this song.
yeah, they really need to release a full version of this song, I didn’t even really care too much for it, until I heard her remake of it..I’m sure I’ll get attacked by all the bowie fans for saying that..lol
But anyway, maybe we could start an online demand for it, maybe we should spam cat power’s website/myspace, begging for a full version…what do ya think?
Amberlee – some form of protest may be required! haha. This is by far our most commented post… Cat Power where are you!?
i have wanted the full version since i first heard the commercial, my husband didn’t like it at first, big Bowie fan, but even he has come around. I am waiting !!!
will some one please make them release the full version. There has to be a way to get the full version if ne one knows please post it.
C’mon everybody, with today’s technology and piracy, we shoulda had this song months ago….what’s the hold up!!??
full version pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
I want the full version right now. Right now.
Horrible that there isn’t a full version released yet.
I want it too!
If Cat Power isn’t going to give us the full song – maybe someone else should… Bowie’s song was great for the 60s, it is 40 years later now: TIME FOR A REMAKE! Christina Aguilera, are you thinking what I’m thinking?
I’m also looking for it, I made my search on Itune Store but they dont have it.
This version is verrrrrry good. No one found it yet?
just google it… the download is on about 5 pages…………
i found it
Hello Guru, what entice you to post an article. This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
Is there a way to get this for my ringtone? Please let me know.
Carol Eckdahl
Great song, sticks with you.
Yes Great commercial that lincoln came up with. I love Cat hope to there full version someday!
cat power did the same thing with the kays (diamond) commercial…they never released the full version fo that either…theyre basically impossible to find
please tell me the full version!!!
I need this song…. NOW. Ill pay for it, help the car companies bail out through music realeases right?
I think if there is enough demand they will release it as a single, they surely did that with Ben’s brother “stutterin’”
Try itunes Space Oddity by The Fall
OMG….this is the type of music that make you want to pop in a cd and hit the highway………I can’t wait for the full version…..CAN THEY PUT A RUSH ON IT ….PLEEEEASE.
can’t stunt, not bad!
Just adding that I would really love to see the full version; gives you the chills with that beautiful voice…
Definitely make this song available please!
I LOVE THIS SONG-where is the full version! “you’ve really made the grade”!
Months have past, and still not a full version?
I am furious.
the song is called major tom by shiny toy guns it is a cover of the 80s classic by peter sheilling look it up on youtube
the shiny toy guns song is a cover of peter schilling’s “Major Tom” completely different song,,although it is a female singing,,,just not the same kick as cat
PLEASE MAKE A FULL VERSION CAT POWER!!! I want it for my ringtone… I tried recording it with my phone… but it sounded terrible… PLEASE AT LEAST LET IT BECOME A RINGTONE!!!
Maybe there isn’t a full version
Cat power! we all love you. we need to full version of space oddity. the lincoln clip is incredible, i cant imagine the full version!!!
