Hi all,
I thought it would be interesting to create a thread of popular songs that have references to some aspect of astronomy e.g. the stars above. People could then collect together the ones the like to create a mood for viewing under the stars.
The thread title, Starry Night, comes from Don McLean's song "Vincent" (1971) about the famous artist Vincent van Gogh. It is also a reference to his well known painting The Starry Night.

"Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver is a song from the 1967 musical, Hair. It was also featured in the Australian movie The Dish.
These are my two offerings. Ye olde hits. :thumbsup:
The youngsters may come up with some newer ones.
Regards, Rob.
