Update: As Eredalis said in the comments below, the song was written by David Bowie. Below is the original music video of the David Bowie song “Space Oddity” from his promotional film, ‘Love You Till Tuesday’ (1969).

A bit of a easter egg: David Bowie was inspired by 1968 British-American film Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
