RIP. I loved all these songs, but then again I loved everything I heard on the radio when I was 11 years old.
Does anybody remember some comedian ( can't remember if he was British or American ), singing a parody of "Catch a falling star", which went "Catch a falling Sputnik, put it in your pocket, send it to the USA" ?
Probably it was a British gag, any American who sang that in 1957 would have been up before the Un-American Activities Committee, I imagine.
