Description
I have come late to this Challenge Earthlets....Bodang Girig and other greetings....and I can't keep this bufoonery up either........look I missed this 'cos I was revamping my back room and only really glancing at MJ now and again.....and now that the music is emerging I feel a little left out,having resolved to do something in a hurry to get into this I thought that there as no way I was going to get an electronic piece together in shoprt order so I looked at the guitars and it was not immediately obvious what they would bring ....then I had a flash of inspiration from Richard 13s artwork ....you know the astronaut on "Here and There" rang a bell and so this afternoon I came up with this pile of old toot........it is wrong...it has the wrong sort of instrument and the model is a 30's comic hall George Formby type of song it is original but in his style, so it is old fashioned space race ,all wrong......but I don't care......so there.Have fun......

Lyrics
Floating Far Above the Earth
As I float around the earth
I get a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck
Here I am an insignificant speck
Floating Far above the earth
They said to me now listen Ace
will you take partin a space race
from here to the moon and back again
Because we think you're a dead cert to win
Me, like a twit said count me in......
But now as I float around the earth I get
a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck Here I am
an insignificant speck
Floating far above the earth
So they strapped me into a rocket powereded can
lit the blue touch paper and me journey began
I whizzed around the moon which I thought was cool
But floating now I feel such a fool
Cos like a real daft lad....I've run out of fuel
Now as I float around the earth I get
a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck Here I am
stuck inside me little tin can
Floating far above the earth
Now I've got time on me hands so I can gaze
into the vastness that we all call space
Bloomin' eck I say it looks real big
so much so I think I 'll flip my lid If I have to stay
floating far above the earth
As I float around the earth
I get a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck
Here I am an insignificant speck
Floating Far above the earth
They said to me now listen Ace
will you take partin a space race
from here to the moon and back again
Because we think you're a dead cert to win
Me, like a twit said count me in......
But now as I float around the earth I get
a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck Here I am
an insignificant speck
Floating far above the earth
So they strapped me into a rocket powereded can
lit the blue touch paper and me journey began
I whizzed around the moon which I thought was cool
But floating now I feel such a fool
Cos like a real daft lad....I've run out of fuel
Now as I float around the earth I get
a sense of my true worth
I have to say ee by 'eck Here I am
stuck inside me little tin can
Floating far above the earth
Now I've got time on me hands so I can gaze
into the vastness that we all call space
Bloomin' eck I say it looks real big
so much so I think I 'll flip my lid If I have to stay
floating far above the earth

As Skean use to say, music is about having fun, and this was fun* alright, and totally within the rules of the challenge, as far as I can understand. This instrument playing and 30's style singing about hi tech stuff like floating in a space suit around the earth is quite THE oxymoron ;-)
* Well, not so fun for you perhaps, floating around up there all alone with nothing but space debris for company. But remember you came up with a unique song and the best song art in the challenge so far :-)
Thanks for participating and take care (up there),
Henke
