Let's see if this topic has any traction: I was driving home listening to a home-made CD. Heard the song "Spaceman" by Harry Nilsson, and it got me to thinkin'. Why? Well, it immediately brought to mind two other 'reluctant astronaut' songs: "Space Oddity" and "Rocket Man". Interesting, thought I, that there were three reasonably popular rock/pop songs on this seemingly somewhat obscure topic.This profound insight (note: this is sarcasm) led me to think of other pop/rock songs with unusual subject matter. I'll offer a few more as seeds:
"Timothy" cannibalism
"Cousin Dupree" incest
"Year of '39" Einsteinian relativity (space/time dilation)
"Angie Baby" umm... weird girls with voyeuristic neighbors living in their radios?Let's see what else y'all can think of?
all the best,
mrh
