Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola
- Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola
"Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola" is a version of David Bowie's first hit single "Space Oddity" with Italian lyrics by Mogol.
This special version of "Space Oddity" was commissioned for the Italian market and released in November 1969. Two Italian bands Equipe 84 and The Computers had recorded their own Italian versions of "Space Oddity" and Bowie's record company probably felt that this threatened the chances of Bowie's version in Italy. Instead of translating the lyrics of the original version Mogol wrote a love story about a young couple that meet each other on the top of a mountain, "Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola" meaning "Lonely Boy, Lonely Girl". Bowie recorded the Italian version thinking he sang a translation of the original lyrics. Fact|date=April 2008
This version was later released on the album "Rare".
