Didn't know what time it was, but the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was laying down some rock 'n' roll soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Alright
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I'll start off with an 8 just for the Morse Code bit. -.-. --.-
Hey William - Unlike all these other comments, I am not the kind of purist who finds fault with any version BUT the original. Hey everybody - time passes. Things get reinterpreted OR they get FORGOTTEN.  I happen to appreciate that they took on a tune that they really liked and did a really nice job with it. So GO GARBAGE!
This is garb
Garbage this is!
And unnecessary...
Garbage - exactly

SO true - great music that is compressed and "boxed in." This track is different enough to make it interesting for me.

We have Butch Vig's side-to-side, front-to-back, top-to-bottom, end-to-end overproduction to thank for that... 
7 for start.

It's what the label says: copy/paste.
But for a copy it's not bad, for me a 6.
Some covers are just unnecessary.
