He's done it before, but it was extra appropriate in a week when two separate initiatives to spread capitalism to the empyrean have literally gone down in flames. I thought about playing the Tornados' "Telstar", but hey, Telstar actually worked. Any more fried-astronaut ditties? |

03 Nov 14 - 12:09 PM (#3674197) Subject: RE: Tasteless Songs About Space From: GUEST,Ed By no means tasteless, but a very fine space song is The Imagined Village's take on Ewan MacColl's Space Girl A couple of lines from the last verse certainly have a resonance with recent events though: My mama told me never trust a space engineer But I did, I did, I did. She said freefall and superdrive would surely cost me dear And they did, they did, they did. |
