I don't even remember that post--or, sadly, that commercial. I'll have to look for it. "Mr. T-Shirt Launcher Inventor" is another favorite.
10. Eyes Without a Face -- Billy Idol
Next: Celestial bodies
1. Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus -- Curve
Were it not for the requirement of a celestial body, I could use Starship Trooper or Astral Traveler by Yes. Instead I'll use...
2) Venus Isle --Eric Johnson
everyone of those things makes me laugh out loud...I don't have the t-shirt one, but I vaguely remember it.
I liked the book starship trooper---not so much the movie. I wonder if the yes song is related?
3. drops of Jupiter--train (love that song!)
The Yes song is indeed inspired by the book, bounty. I believe Jon Anderson read it and was inspired by it.
4. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun --Pink Floyd
5. Highway Star - Deep Purple
pretty neat when artists do that...and that's for sure an example of the book being better than the movie...
6. venus & mars/rock show--McCartney & wings
7. Bike Ride to the Moon --The Dukes of Stratosphear
8. The Planets - Gustav Holst
9. Pink Moon--nick drake (made more famous by this nifty vw cabriolet commercial that featured it)
10. Heart of the Sunrise --Yes
Songs that mention the name of a bird (let's take Blackbird as read and skip on):
1. Lark's Tongues in Aspic --King Crimson
2. Albatross -- Fleetwood Mac
3. The Firebird - Stravinsky
4. I Bought Myself a Liarbird --XTC
the lark in the clear air--by all sorts of folks
6. Surfin' Bird -- The Trashmen
