I think it's OK to lapse into foreign once in a while, provided it's well known. I use it myself and of course Joe Strummer wrote a song with the word as its title. TWICE.

The words Space oddity don't appear in the song and you aren't the first person to make this error and I suspect you'll not be the last - it's all The Dame's fault in the end.
Ms B Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Major Tom - David Bowie Really, didn't anyone have the manners to point out to Ms B that the title of The Dame's song in question is actually Space Oddity. If this thread isn't here to educate and inform then I fear all is lost. So we continue with Space Oddity - The Dame
And just to make sure there are no misunderstandings, Boxcar Willie was the professional nom de song of country singer Lecil Travis Martin and not an STI. Hope that clears that up, and without the use of penicillin.
