Good astronomy-related songs?

[IContainMultitudes]

When I was taking astronomy classes in college, I sort of enjoyed how the professor would play astronomy-related music in the planetarium where the class was held before and after class. Listening to things like Holst's The Planets or Jerry Goldsmith's score for Alien before class did a really good job of setting the mood. Here are some other pieces of music I would have put on the playlist:

What else would go on your "planetarium playlist?"

welllll, when gort and i are cruising in interstellar space we sometimes like to watch funny earth films, ones like space cowboys. gort, bless his little heart
(he thinks he has one), loves to sing along with frank sinatra on 'fly me to the moon'. the other music we savor is not something humans can hear, up in
the 35,ooohz range. too bad, it's quite interesting.

I don't know how I forgot about this one (definitely watch Dark Star if you've never seen it, BTW):

This song made an appearance on last night's episode of Breaking Bad in a scene that was both funny and a little unnerving:

Breaking Bad - Breaking Bad: Gale’s Karaoke Video – AMC

A little on the cheesy side of things, but I enjoy it. I'd definitely want it on my iPod if I got a chance to somehow go to space (a little late to go for a ride on one of the space shuttles, unfortunately).

'39 by Queen was about astronauts travelling to a star system and returning 100 years later unaged due to time dilation and other effects of travelling at light speed, Brian May who wrote it is an astrophysicist. He changed one word in it, the goes "many a lonely day they sailed across the milky sea" but May admits its meant to be "many a lonely day they sailed across the Milky Way" why I don't know it makes more sense leaving it as the Milky Way.
