Astronomy Songs


Stusi

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.... i'm DJ'ing a small stargazing party being hosted by my local rotary club and i was wondering if you all know of any songs that mention stars, astronomy, or space as i thought it would be cool to play a lot of them while we are looking through a massive telescope in the middle of nowhere texas. It's for kids 15-19 so hopefully you all know of some stuff they would like. Here is what i have thought of so far. (I'm tryin to keep it pretty chill so no death metal about "the sky is falling")

 

Artist - Song

 

Our Lady Peace - Somewhere Out There

James Blunt - High

Train - Drops of Jupiter

Hum - Stars

Coldplay - Yellow

The Tornados - Telstar

Our Lady Peace - Starseed

Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy

Oasis - Champaign Supernova

Jack Johnson - Constellations

 

and a friend of mine suggested "good morning starshine" but i have no idea since i havn't listened to it yet.

 

Anyone else got some good suggestions?

You can check out the lyrics to Good Morning Starshine.

 

"Gliddy glub gloopy

Nibby nabby noopy

La la la lo lo

Sabba sibby sabba

Nooby abba nabba

Le le lo lo

Tooby ooby walla

Nooby abba naba"

 

Can't get more astronomical than that :D

 

 

Don't know about 15-19 year-olds liking them, but here's more:

 

"Why Does the Sun Shine?" They Might Be Giants

"Eclipse" Pink Floyd

"Total Eclipse" Alan Parsons Project

"Here Comes the Sun" and "Across the Universe" The Beatles

"Waiting for the Sun" The Doors

"Under the Milky Way" The Church

"Planet Claire" B-52s

"Venus" Shocking Blue

"Bad Moon Rising" Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Goodnight Moon" Shivaree (from Kill Bill vol 2)

"Walking on the Moon" The Police

"Walkin' on the Sun" Smashmouth

"Blue Moon" The Marcels

"Man on the Moon" R.E.M.

"Moonshadow" Cat Stevens

"Space Oddity" David Bowie

 

and, of course,

"The Galaxy Song" by Monty Python's Flying Circus (sung by Eric Idle) from "The Meaning of Life"

A combination of memory and lookup. Obviously I Googled the lyrics, but they are all in my iTunes collection (which is where I searched), with the exception of The Galaxy Song. I looked that up on the iTunes music store only to make sure I got the title right.
