Major Tom is a fictional astronaut referenced in David Bowie's songs Space Oddity, Ashes to Ashes, Hallo Spaceboy (particularly in the remix by the Pet Shop Boys) and possibly Blackstar (in the music video and interpreted from the lyrics).
While this song itself does not directly reference Major Tom, references to Major Tom do appear in the remixed version that Bowie released with the Pet Shop Boys in 1996. The 1996 remix contains lyrics from Space Oddity that are sung by Pet Shop Boys vocalist Neil Tennant.
