Music with an astro theme

Hey guys how could we forget Floyds Dark side of the moon.

Hi all

There are probably thousands of songs with the words moon or sun in the title, are there any with asteroid, or meteor or Quaoar in the title?

Moby - We Are All Made Of Stars

Enigma - Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi (samples 2001ASO)

What a great sideline to a dull day

“Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft” was a song originally performed by a band called “Klaatu” in 1976 and it is still the best version by a long shot in my opinion.

Diverging off topic just a tad... but I wonder if the group Klaatu took their name from the film "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? I forget the details (it came out in the 50s!) but in that film, an enormous metal android accidently gets kicked into "Must-Destroy-All-Earthlings..." mode and can only be shut down by giving it the verbal command "Klaatu berada nictu." In the best hollywood style of the time, the dishy looking chick/heroine ends up passing out in terror and collapsing into the arms of the evil (now subdued) robot and being carried into the deep recesses of its flying saucer... King-Kong style! Freud would have had a field day with that kind of imagery - "Mine Gott, It's so big und hard - no vunder you passed out, madam!"

Man that was a scary movie! :shock:
