Here are a couple of oldies but goodies

Love the vibes from Lionel Hampton

and Louie's trumpet

And this was one of my Dad's favorites: Moonlight Serenade

I Sing the Body Electric....when I become one with the sun...I look back on Venus and I look back on Mars, and I burn with the fire of 10 million stars and in time we will all be stars...

Maybe this is close enough to theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOWjX4BpC24 Ghost Riders in the Sky

The sounds of the planets....

Wow this theme has generated some fabulous music!

Ride Into The Sun

Mina - Tintarella di luna (dal film Juke Box urli d'amore, 1959) "Moon Tan"

Space Bob

Satellite

songs with a "real science" basis fascinate me. Here's an oldie, then more recent one. First, Queen -- a live version with Freddie singing instead of Brian.

..."In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the Earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
But my love, this cannot be
Oh, so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me"...

second, the Slackers -- such a sweet song, could be a child's lullaby: The Stars that Wouldn't Shine:

..."They cross the darkened skies like a ghostly ship
And because they deny your eyes you'd like to say they don't exist
They may not reach these shores until we're all long dead
But like a light you're seeing now they too are light years ahead"...

Bowie was so generous in giving recognition to other artists. The last time I saw him in concert, he was introducing "Cactus", a Pixies cover. The audience went wild, and he said something like "Well if you love the Pixies so much now why didn't you buy their records in the 80's!"

Anyhow, here is his cover of the Gemini Spacecraft song mentioned up thread as a Ziggy influence. Having listened to the original -- which is interesting and quite ahead of its time -- I'll stick with Bowie's version :-)

Venus

and Venus In Blue Jeans

hadn't thought of this one in years. Paul McCartney and Wings from 1975. It was sort of an intro to another song, but this is "just" the Venus and Mars portion.

orbit around the moon

While I’m on a Venus kick. Bananarama

Super late to this because Chrome doesn't like these threads and Safari doesn't like YouTube. I had to figure out a workaround which involves having 2 browsers open at the same time = J

Another satellite song:

And another Bowie tune:

I had temporarily forgotten about this song, definitely about Space:

When I saw Human League at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco circa 1981, English tourists had bought most of the tickets and so many locals were unable to attend, since the theater is not that large. The English tourists were also very animated and danced in front of their seats during most of the concert instead of sitting, and so I had to stand up to see the stage, and I had a very good seat. All seats were reserved, and so people had to stay in their reserved spaces. I found the group a bit arrogant in their attitude toward the audience, and they said they were shocked when they walked the streets in New York and no one recognized them. They were appreciated in San Francisco but not idolized the way they were in England, and this was a disappointment for them.
