The song "Space Oddity" is about a fictional astronaut named "Major Tom." At one point in the song, within lyrics that are meant to be the words of Major Tom himself, the astronaut's wife is mentioned:
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
