However, she was later told by producers that her vocals would be overlaid by Bowie's original voice.
"I just found that out a couple of weeks ago - I guess they talked to him and it's now a duet on the soundtrack," Wiig told news.com.au . "It's so weird. I have to pinch myself."
She continued: "It was really fun recording that. I can't even describe it, just singing that song. It's David Bowie and I'm such a huge Bowie fan. It was intimidating. I've caught the bug now. I want to go on tour!"
Wiig stars opposite Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which centres on a timid photographer who embarks on an adventure to recover a lost negative.
Sean Penn, Adam Scott and Shirley MacLaine co-star in the movie, based on the short story from James Thurber.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will open in cinemas this December. Watch a clip below:
