Buffy Sainte-Marie did one called "Moonshot", but it's not a humorous song. It's a lament, a spiritual and philosophical piece, and a prayer for change. It refers to the moon missions, in the light of our general situation here on Earth, and was written in the early 70's sometime.

MOONSHOT

Up into outer space you go, my friends
We wish you bon voyage
And when you get there we will welcome you
And still you'll wonder at it all

See all the wonders that you leave behind
The wonders humble people own
I know a boy from a tribe so primitive
He can call me up without no telephone

See all the wonders that you leave behind
Enshrined in some great hourglass
The noble tongues, the noble languages
Entombed in some great English class

Up into outer space you go, my friends
We wish you bon voyage
And when you get there we will welcome you again
And still you wonder at it all

(musical break)

An anthropologist, he wrote a book
He called it "Myths of Heaven"
He's disappeared, his wife is all distraught
An Angel came and got him

His hair was gold, his wings were Love, his words were true
His eyes were lapis lazuli
He spoke in a language oh so primitive
But he made sense to me

Up into outer space you go, my friends
We wish you bon voyage
And when you get there we will welcome you again and again and again
And again you'll wonder at it all

(Buffy Sainte-Marie)

It's on the album "Moonshot" and is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
