So good.
Love it.
This is by Joel, also from the compilation.
I think I played this one last time that I was here.
Was worth hearing again.
This is called Rocket Saturn V and it's about the moon landing.
Lots of good little facts about the moon landing here.
He had recently read a book about the moon landing.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
[JOEL, "ROCKET SATURN V"] Velcro dried ice cream and dehydrated
meat
Pens that work in zero gravity
All inventions from Moon adventures
They had inventions, but no guarantee
that man would survive liftoff
In Australia, honeysuckle Creek
Was ready for TV transmission
When Armstrong stepped on the moon
They were first to see
Crash boom
Rocket Saturn V, you are doomed!
Well, evidence is tricky
Rocks, meteorites and rubbish on the moon
That's all we have, a flag and stories
And shrunken hearts or tales too
But we say the US was first on the moon
But actually, it was a world effort that made it
But back then, computers were slug slow
And anyway, speed is overrated
Crash boom
Rocket Saturn V, you are doomed!
Blackness like nothing on Earth
Extremes are the norm in space extremes
Hot, cold, slow, fast
We get old in space
While they pursue the world's dream
In cramped, cold, tight quarters
Would I do them, I can't make up my mind.
Hours, hours of airless, agonizing training
All for one step for mankind
Crash boom
Rocket Saturn V, you are doomed!
Crash boom
Rocket Saturn V, you are doomed!
[APPLAUSE]
So good.
