Astronomy songs

Let’s check out the music of the spheres.

I’ll start the ball rolling with “Cassiopeia” by Sara Bareilles.

“Anchored home in her interstellar sea but
Poor lonely Cassiopeia
So she sighs and she burns with desperation
Learns to cry over love of constellations”

'39 by Queen

“The Stars that Play with Laughing Sam’s Dice” - Jimi Hendrix

**Planet X ** (about Pluto) by Christine Lavin

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Astronomy Domine

Grateful Dead, * Standing on the Moon *

Frank black - places named after numbers

“The Galaxy Song” from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.

That’s amore

"Theme to Fireball XL-5."

Does instrumental music count? Gustav Holtz’s suite The Planets covers all members of the Solar System (except Earth) that were known in 1913.

Minor nitpick: The music is supposed to represent each planet’s astrological aspect, but what the hell. A planet is a planet.

Mars, the Bringer of War is my favorite. I once fell asleep listening to this through headphones. Scared the crap out of me!

Blue Oyster Cult Astronomy

Yakko Warner’s “It’s a Great Big Universe”

They Might Be Giants’ “The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas”, and its sequel “The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma”

Does the theme song for The Big Bang Theory count?

Been there done that recently…

Interplanet Janet – Schoolhouse Rock (Lynn Ahrens)

It’s astronomy from the right perspective…

Third Stone From the Sun - Jimi Hendrix Experience

Two more instrumentals: Debussy’s “Claire de Lune” and, by association, “Arabesque No. 1,” which was for many years the theme to PBS’s ***Star Hustler ***series (later known as Jack Horkheimer, Star Gazer).
