Comment:

Made for a friend studying Astronomy. Tried to include both stuff he already likes, plus stuff I think he'd like if he gave it a go. Some planets have heaps of songs (Mars, Pluto), but some were really hard (Venus, Uranus).

Hey - being a person who teaches astronomy by profession, I see some really cool stuff here. Take a look at Buglady's "Hey Mr. Spaceman" mix, too. That's fab.

I love this but the TMBG track is "Why Does the Sun Shine." Sorry, I'm just a big fan.

Bugger. I'm annoyed about getting the title of the TMBG song wrong - my internet source is unreliable, apparently. I like things to be correct!

The Shocking Blue song is about a woman, I tried to get songs specifically about planets. It was hard tho, had to cave in on Mercury and use an instrumental for Venus.

I'll check out that mix, thanks for the recommendation.
