I had a record when I was a kid, about the solar system. It was full of catchy tunes like The Wandering Stars (which my older sister hated because I played the album so much – but which helped her out on a science test because the song was stuck in her head!), Meet Space Pilot Jones, and another song about satellites.
The Wandering Stars
Mercury
Venus
Earth and Mars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
Neptune and Pluto!
The Wandering Stars!
Meet Space Pilot Jones
Meet Space Pilot Jones
His body, it looks like a barrel…
(the one about satellites)
Is it raining in Paris?
Will it snow in New York?
I found this LP online months ago, and I e-mailed a guy who had it in his collection to confirm that this was the album I remembered. Unfortunately, I lost my e-mails when I changed my hard drive. I don’t remember the name of the album. I thought it might be something like A Children’s Introduction to the Solar System, but I’m not getting any hits on google under that name. The cover is largely black, with a big orange planet and a white space ship – if I remember correctly. The title, IIRC, is in yellow across the top of the cover.
Can any of you music sleuths help me find the proper title to this album?
Thanks!
