Starry Night Collection

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.

The youngsters may come up with some newer ones.

Regards, Rob.

Apologies to Jen. Did a quick search but didn't come up with anything obvious (before my join date). People can just refer back to Jen's thread.

Thanks, Rob.

I'll lock this one to save confusion.
