The Man Who Sold The World

It's difficult to do a good cover of a David Bowie song.  Here's one done right - The Man Who Sold The World infused with Nirvana's characteristic melancholia from MTV Unplugged.
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
And don't forget astronaut Chris Hadfield's great take on Space Oddity done from the International Space Station.

And finally, from the opening night of Bruce Springsteen's 2016 tour just a couple of days ago, is Rebel, Rebel.
