(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown
Engines on
Space Oddity," David Bowie
Earth below us drifting falling floating weightless
calling calling home
Peter Schillling
"Major Tom"
(A retelling of David Bowies Space Oddity)
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what life is like
On Jupiter and Mars
(Bart Howard)
I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
Rocket Man
Elton John
The moon and you appear to be
So very far away from me
So here I stand
On a night in June
Reaching for the moon, and you
(Irving Berlin)
My heart is taken it's not lost in space
And I don't want to see your moony moony face
I say, why on Earth do you revolve around me
Aren't you aware of the gravity
XTC, Don't need another satellite
Let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars
Fly Me To The Moon
Frank Sinatra, and a few others I'm sure
Oh I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Ernie, on Sesame Street
Bowies in space, Bowies in space
What'cha you doing out there, man?
that's pretty freaky, Bowie
Flight of the Conchords
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
I'll Make a Man Out of You
from Disney's Mulan
A mission is what we've got
We're going to say "Roger" a lot
We're going to Mars
Backyardigans
The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
(Fain/Cahn)
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
In there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
"American Pie"
Oh give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
(A song about wanting space here on earth, not about outer space... but there is a token star reference if space on earth isn't enough)
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
It's about time
It's about space
It's about people in a crazy place
(Theme song to a bad sitcom long ago)
Tell me
did you sail across the sun
did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
that heaven is overrated...
---Train, "Drops of Jupiter"
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Steve Miller Band
Got no butler, got no maid
Still, I think I've been overpaid
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
(Berlin, from "Annie Get Your Gun")
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
(Harline/Washington, from "Pinocchio")
I knew eight words, but not in a row, so I looked up the first verse of this. It was added to the Baptist Hymnal a while back. It's a terrible song.
God of earth and outer space,
God of love and God of grace,
Bless the astronauts who fly
As they soar beyond the sky.
God who flung the stars in space,
God who set the sun ablaze;
Fling the spacecraft through the air,
Let man know your presence there.
The tune is here
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Roony
Animaniacs (and I think the words are a bit off, but close)
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour
That's orbiting at [??] miles a second, so it's reckoned,
Round a sun that is the source of all our power
Monty Python, Galaxy song
Now young Mister Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
They soared through the Milky Way
counting the stars
Once around Venus and twice around Mars
"Chanson Pour les Petites Enfants"
Jimmy Buffett
Hey, Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along?
I won't do anything wrong.
Hey, Mr. Spaceman,
Won't you please take me along for a ride?
The Byrds - Hey! Mr. Spaceman
I wanted to be a spaceman
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a spaceman
I'd rather be back on the pad
Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
"Spaceman," Harry Nilsson
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is somersaulting all around the sky
And every time it turns another somersault
Another day goes by
("No Way To Stop It", from original Broadway score to "The Sound of Music", by Rodgers/Hammerstein)
There's a starman waiting in the sky,
he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
Starman by David Bowie
The time has come
To leave again
Activate the Noah Plan
Returning to the universe
Give out the word,
"ABANDON EARTH"
-Peter Schilling
Sometimes when I kneel before your bounty,
I wonder if there could really be UFOs that come from other planets
"Swimming in Your Ocean" Crashtest Dummies
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus,
Leaving Levon far behind;
Take a balloon and go sailing...
"Levon," Elton John
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
They climbed aboard their star ship
And headed for the skies
They said
Come sail away...
(I know it by Eric Cartman...)
Open up the sky
Let the planet that I love shine through
Meat Loaf, "For Cryin' Out Loud"
(borderline, as I guess he's staying on earth & all...)
I'm building a spaceship in my backyard,
It's gonna go fast and it's gonna go far.
Fly around Jupiter, breakfast on Mars,
I'm building a spaceship in my backyard.
rdub where did you hear of that song???? One of my mom's old co-workers used to sing that song all the time!!!
You can stop and stare
But there's no one there
On the moon.
--I had a book and a 45 rpm record about the moon and the possibility of space exploration, circa 1964 (I am so OLD). This is from one of the songs on it.
