![]() ![]() ![]() I also have here an exceedingly rare track laid down but never released by the New Christy Minstrels, called "You 'n' I, Jim 'n' I, in Gemini" which was meant to be a tribute to the GT-4 flight. Someone in one of those older posts mentions "Telstar" by the Ventures - the group who actually made this a hit was the Tornadoes. "Armstrong" by Australian country and western singer Reg Lindsay expresses the wonderment of that day, and can be found on most music downloadable sites. I'm just now learning how to burn a CD, so I may not do the multimedia presentation, but if you want to put something together after I do up this CD, I'd love to see what you come up with.Īside from sci-fi movie songs, do you know of any popular songs with a space theme? Not much knowledgeable about music, but two come to mind, Major Tom (Peter Schilling 1980's) and Space Oddity (David Bowie 1970's?). Thanks for the input, all! I'll let you know what I come up with. and my personal favorite, Hendrix: "Third Stone from the Sun".The Stones: (I don't know the name, mostly instrumental from the late 60's early 70's)."you're so very lonely, your a million light years from home.".Those images along with your music selections would be a gas. With all of the images available, it would be cool to record quick 1 second frames of the space program continuously, kinda like they did at the beginning of The Dish. "Up Up and Away" The 5th Dimension (for the pioneer leapers) By the way, this is a killer idea."Magic Carpet Ride" Steppenwolf (this ones a stretch, buy possible filler)."First Indian on the Moon" Paul McCartney.You might find other titles in this story: Space Milestones In Song Shawn Colvin "I don't want to live on the Moon".The Bonzo Dog Band "I'm the Urban Spaceman".They can be extremely negative about the space program, for all I care, but I'd like them pretty specific to the space program. ![]() I'm not looking for a song that just mentions the Moon (Dean Martin's "That's Amore") but songs which are either explicitly about the space program or are very heavy on the space references. I've got the following tunes (some which won't go on the CD, just because I hate the song, but rather than doubling efforts, I list them all). (e.g., "The Eagle has Landed", a bit from the Nixon-Khrushchev kitchen debates, a question/answer from a contestant in the 1961 Miss America pageant ("Do you think it is important for America to get to the Moon before the Russians?" "I don't think we will ever reach the moon, because this is where we are born and I think this is where we are to stay.", Radio Moscow's announcement of Sputnik, etc.) I've been slowly putting together both modern and old songs which are expressly space-themed songs and am going to burn a CD mixed in with various funny (and serious) bits relating to the space race.
