You Don't Have to be a Star- But That might Help
Well, one quick blog before we head out for Spring Break today:
congratulations to lb for getting the last mystery song. It was "Rock the Cradle" by Billy Idol (although I am a little ashamed to admit that I also love the Weird Al Yankovic version). I was intrigued by the "radio" entries. Even though I have my grandparents' old radio that is about size of an armoire, I have always thought of a radio as more of an appliance.
Today's topic will be another one that may go on forever, but if someone gets the mystery song, we will once again give them the opportunity to pick a future topic. Today we are after:
CELESTIAL BODIES
By that we mean things like planets, stars, etal. Good luck.
Oh, and check out this picture that cracks me up.

"If" by Bread says "...if the world should stop revolving..."
"The Spacious Firmament on High" mentions "spangled heavens", "the unwearied sun", "radiant orbs", "this dark terrestrial ball", and probably other references.
The Carpenter's had an unusual song called "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Crafts" which makes reference to Earth and other space-related things.
Kathy Troccoli's "Hallelujahs" is one of the most beautiful songs I know and mentions "cratered moon", "Saturn's rings", and "a shooting star." AWESOME song!
