From: Jon McCombie <jmccombi@BBN-UNIX> I can name that tune in ... The song you describe is "Major Tom," by Peter Schilling. There was some debate a while ago as to whether he was ripping off David Bowie's "Space Oddity," the main character of which is Major Tom -- Schilling claims he was not, but, well, listen for yourself. Have fun, Jon
