OK, let's get back into space after last week's unrelated diversion... and where's the first stop on our journey?
There are far too many songs about the big blue cheese button to narrow down a Top Ten Moon Songs... so instead, here's 10 solely about taking a trip there.
10. Radiohead - Sail to the Moon (Brush the Cobwebs Out of the Sky.)
See, I might consider that bracketed subtitle pretentious... had Thom Yorke not stolen it from Bagpuss.
9. Super Furry Animals - Colonise The Moon
I vomited throughout your saxophone solo, sings Gruff Rhys, to whom I'm not sure. It's enough to make him want to leave the planet and set up his home Space 1999 style on Moonbase Alpha.
8. Love & Rockets - Holiday On The Moon
You can't get a suntan on the moon, reckon the band named after the comic.
7. Grinderman - Man In The Moon
Nick Cave's daddy was an astronaut. Now he's living on the moon...
6. Drive-By Truckers - Puttin' People on the Moon
The Truckers sing the working man's blues: while they're struggling to scrape by, another joker in the White House is puttin' people on the moon.
5. Eels - Climbing To The Moon
Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
It's getting hard to tell where
What I am ends
And what they're making me begins
No wonder E's got his foot on the ladder...
4. The Police - Walking On The Moon
I believe giant steps are in order.
3. ELO - Ticket To The Moon
Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
2. Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon
What's Spring like on Jupiter and Mars? Patience, Frank, we'll get to that in coming weeks.
1. REM - Man On The Moon
Oh, look, I found a version where Stipey duets with Bruce. That'll do nicely.
Got a favourite Man On The Moon song? Don't be shy about it...
