Love David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” but find the lyrics too highfalutin’? Well, even if the answer is “no,” that’s too bad because a group of performers have figured out a way to simplify Bowie’s breakout hit. Molly Lewis, Marian Call, Seth Boyer, and Patrick Race worked together on “Space Weird Thing,” a sweded version of the video that redoes “Space Oddity” using only the thousand most common words in the English language.
