For the 2008 commercial it's Cat Power (Chan Marshall) covering David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'
For the new 2009 commercial it is Shiny Toy Guns covering Peter Schilling's 1983 song "Major Tom (Coming Home)" I don"t Know the Female Artist But tHE Song She's Singing Is "Under The Milky Way By The Church"
Sia - Under The Milky Way (The Church Cover)
If you are thinking of the song in the Lincoln MKZ commercial, you can get it at lincoln.com. I, also, was in endless pursuit of Cat Power's version. When you get to the Lincoln website, though, it informs you it is performed by a girl named Sia. No wonder we couldn't find it!
The title is "Driver's Seat". It was originally released in 1978 by Sniff 'n' the Tears. I am still trying to figure out who did the cover version used in the commercial.
The year that David Bowie's Space Oddity video was released was in 1969. Space Oddity song was released as a single. It was written and performed by David Bowie.
