Astro Related Music - Please Add your favourites

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine had a party when he opened and finished his new
observatory. Playing in the background was music that all the tracks had
some mention of Space/astronomy.

I am going through my music collection and started to compile a list of
space/astronomy related tunes.

If you have any favourites can you please add them to the list here, or mail
me off list, here area few to get going with

Elton john - Rocket Man
Julie London - Fly Me To The moon,
David Bowie - Space Oddity
Savage Garden - I would fly you to the moon and back

thanks for your time and help, I appreciate it.

Clear Skies

My daughter has declared me a sad old hippy after rummaging through my
collection. Here's a few she found;

Once in a blue moon - Lighthouse family
Spanish moon, Rocket in my pocket - Little Feat
Sun is shining - Bob Marley
Poor Moon - Canned Heat
(I feel the next are a bit of a stretch)
I can see for miles - The Who
Under cover of darkness - Living Colour
Sitting on top of the world, Born under a bad sign - Cream
and what's that Don MacClean song about starry nights?

I thought it was about his suicide...

....and when no hope was left isght
on that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do...
