Two different recordings, two different versions. The article needs to clarify this in more depth. Dickie birdie (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If the 1973 re-release was indeed a re-recording, you'll need to cite reliable sources. Till then I've reverted your additions. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:55, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"In 2018 SpaceX launched Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster atop of the Falcon Heavy with this song playing in the car's vehicle audio during maiden flight."

Contrary to what is written in the press, it seems to be "Life on Mars?", it is the song broadcast on the live Space X and the lyrics were tweet by the account @SpaceX_Starman. https://twitter.com/SpaceX_Starman/status/960946773467549697 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:660:6101:402:6D13:684F:EB77:21E1 (talk) 15:51, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the reference to Star Trek:Discovery in Popular culture.If you don't consider Memory Alpha to be a reliable source, fine, let me know here and I'll find something more suitable, but shouldn't the rendition of the song in the episode itself be considered as reliable source as one can hope for? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.136.104.13 (talk) 18:04, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How on Earth is this song psychedelic? It should be re-defined as space rock. --123.2.142.50 (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't because it's not. – zmbro _(talk) 16:40, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Richhoncho: per Template:Infobox song#released "Generally, later releases or in secondary markets, reissues, on compilations, etc., should only be included in the body of the article." Ellokk (talk) 14:07, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can we put "space rock" under genres? Wolf O'Donnel (talk) 06:20, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you have a source that supports it, no. Even then, this song is not space rock. Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd is space rock. David Bowie is not. – zmbro _(talk) 16:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Same song, same artist, different language, Richhoncho (talk) 11:17, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Support – fine with me. – zmbro _(talk) 15:23, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Different lyrics written by different artist. Different language. enjoyer -- talk 11:14, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support --GodNey (talk) 17:01, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:NOTAVOTE. Provide a reason why this should merge. enjoyer -- talk 23:44, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - The lyrics are different and it's in a different language, yes, but it's still a derivative work of Bowie's song. Also, it doesn't seem to meet notability standards to warrant its own article. Niftysquirrel (talk) 16:43, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Richhoncho Are we ok to close this? – zmbro _(talk) 03:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Sorry, been away from WP, 4 in favour, 1 opposed. Plenty of other songs have one article even though different people wrote different lyrics, so not sure that argument stands much weight, Seems to be right to merge now. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:00, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Richhoncho Sounds good thanks. – zmbro _(talk) 00:42, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd also be fine with redirecting, since all the info about the Italian version we need is already present in the article now (since I expanded it). – zmbro _(talk) 00:43, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The Ragazzo article really doesn't have any citations: one is just a link to youtube, another to a lyric site, one is just from the liner notes, and one looks like a basic discogs link (eil). It's not notable enough to have its own article. 87Fan (talk) 01:42, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Support: Surprised to find a discussion this old still open when it seems quite cut-and-dry and the consensus well established. Did someone just forget to close it? Anyway, I agree with all the above arguments, like 87Fan said it doesn't show independent notability for any article, let alone one so closely tied to another's subject matter.
