I can name that tune in ...

The song you describe is "Major Tom," by Peter Schilling.  There was some
debate a while ago as to whether he was ripping off David Bowie's "Space
Oddity," the main character of which is Major Tom -- Schilling claims he
was not, but, well, listen for yourself.

Have fun,
Jon
