With the David Bowie Weekend starting today, I was reminded of an amazing song by Flight of the Conchords called Bowie in Space. Bret and Jermaine have always been huge fans of David Bowie, and had hoped that he would play himself on the short lived TV Series, but instead settled on Jermaine playing the role.

Last year, Jermaine wrote an article about the video and their appreciation for Bowie after he passed.

We don’t know for sure if he ever heard our song. Someone we know who knew someone he knew told us once that it was on his MP3 player. Hey, that’s far out. He heard it too-hoo-hoo? I’m fine with not knowing for sure.

I’m still glad he didn’t meet us, perhaps he would have liked to, but he would have blown our minds.
