Why Does the Sun Shine, They Might Be Giants.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.
And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees!!!
I bad format person.
the monty python song... in meaning of life
Richard In Your Mind - Dark Energy
That school children can learn and sing along to.
GEEK POP!
Woo!
In fact this shit deserves it's own thread...
Rocket Man - Elton John
Major Tom - David Bowie
10,000 Light Years from Home - Rolling Stones
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun - Pink Floyd
Ticket to the Moon - ELO
Space is dark it is so endless
When you're lost it's so relentless
It is so big, it is small
Why does man try to act so tall
Is this the reason
Deep in our minds
It does not feel it does not die
Space is neither truth nor lies
Into the void we have to travel
To find the clue which will unravel
Is this the reason
Deep in our minds
The secret lies with our tomorrow
In each of us is a hidden sorrow
The path goes onward through the night
Beyond the realms of ancient light
Is this the reason
Deep in our minds
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
Spaceman - Babylon Zoo
Bowie's In Space - Flight Of The Conchords
Don't you know
'bout a zillion years ago
Some star sneezed, now they're
paging you in reception
Don't you know
Jack and Jill-ion years ago
Some dinosaur dropped the pail
when it saw our reflection
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, I read that someplace
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, I read that someplace
So you won't mind if I kiss you now
Before indecision can bite
Don't you know in this new Dark Age
We're all light
Don't you know
At your fingertips arrayed
there's a universe of atoms that
thinks you're real something
Don't you know
Just a couple of lips away
There's an revolutionary bean-feast
whose insides are jumpin
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, I read that someplace
Don't you know
We're all light
Yeah, it's a bumper sticker someplace
So you won't mind if I kiss you now
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/ULom ]
We may hear the angels recite
Don't you know in this new Dark Age
We're all light
And I won't take from you what
you can't take from me
And I'll leave nothing here that you
can't use upon your trip
And I won't take from you what
you can't take from me
And I'll leave nothing here
but love and milk a' plenty
for your tea
Don't you know
Upon the pillion of time's bike
We roar onto the stage and too
soon we're dead center
Don't you know
Buffalo Bill-ions raised his sight
He's picking off the whole
herd as soon as we enter
So you won't mind if I kiss you now
And maybe come on in for the night
Don't you know in this new Dark Age
We're all light
We're all light
And I won't take from you
what you can't take from me
And I won't take from you
(you know where you itch, is
a little tiny switch, and if
you let
me in, I can show you just
the pin, that you put in the
slot and the
element gets hot, and the
stuff just pours out)
And I won't take from you
what you can't take from me
(all we're light)
(kiss me now, kiss me now)
And I won't take from you
what you can't take from me
And I won't take from you
what you can't take from me
Across the Universe -Beetles
and Runner's Dial Zero by Beck, not lyrically about space, but sounds like floating out there somewhere.
Pink Floyd - set the controls for the heart of the sun, interstellar overdrive, astronomy domine. They may have also done an album about the moon, or one side of it.
Hawkwind - too many to mention
I reckon Space Oddity might be a good bet for your kids - how old are they?
They are 5-7.
sun ra! space is the place
Except that Major Tom gets lost in space....I used to get a bit upset by this song when I was little.
I missed that bit - sorry
that shitty pink floyd song with the chanting and the awful lyrics
Great for kids to sing though!
mr spaceman by the byrds?
I'm The Urban Spaceman - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band?
YES!
call and response - california floating in space. it's a sweet pop song, country tinged, simple lyrics, good for kids. you can have a quick listen here or else i can help you out.
Cool, lots of good ones here, thanks gang.
there's a compilation called the tone of the universe = the tone of the earth which is inspired by the fact that there's a galaxy (or a star, or something) that's constantly emitting a b-flat drone.
you need to be careful of old songs listing Pluto as a planet
Dancing Galaxy- Astral Projection.
Liquid Sun-Astral Projection.
Spacelord- Monster Magnet.
Which reminds me, Monster Magnet were fucking rad. What the fuck ever happened to them?
Dave stopped smoking crack and took up eating pies which sounded the death knell for Monster Magnet, they'll be back after a stint in rehab.
Gustav Holst - The Planets
Wings - Venus and Mars
The Carpenters - Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft
Yeah, Space is the Place is the first track I thought about.
rocket man - elton john
er not really about space, but he's a rocketman. that'll do surely.
has anybody mentioned spaceman by babylon zoo?
if not, shame on you, m+n. shame.
Pump Up The Volume - MARRS, if only for the filmclip
Killer Klowns from Outer Space- The Dickies.
I used to have notebooks fulla this.
(Space Truckin' - Deeep Purple)
I blame this thread for causing Interstellar Overdrive to be going through my head all day.
You must Fight to Live on the Planet of the Apes - the Mummies
Everything by Man or Astroman
Also, Cleves, if you haven't already made your choice, there's a 1959 album called ''Space Songs'', which you can find mp3s of here. This is where the TMBG song Fe mentions comes from originally.
radiohead - subterrainian homesick alien
moon patrol - theme.
