MxPx, "Major Tom (Coming Home)" from On the Cover II (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: The original version of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling serves as the theme song to the new television series Deutschland 83—which, if I had my druthers, would be titled Deutschland '83, since the numeral in the title is clearly a reference to 1983, the year in which the show is set. I've only seen one episode of Deutschland 83, the second episode of the series; the third debuts tomorrow night. So far so good. I especially enjoy that the show is subtitled in English, retaining the original German dialogue. My initial fears were that the show would be dubbed into English for American television. Cold War espionage? Don't mind if I do.
Also of interest, the original German title of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" is "Major Tom (völlig losgelöst)", which would be more accurately translated as "Major Tom (Totally Disconnected)."
