“Major Tom (Coming Home)” by William Shatner

Posted on 2022-05-28 by Wacky Alex

The unofficial “part two” of The Major Tom Saga, this song was written and first made popular by Peter Shilling in 1983. You may have heard the 2009 version by Shiny Toy Guns. Shatner released this version in 2011 as part of his Seaking Major Tom album, which also features of cover of the original “Space Oddity”, by David Bowie.

Since then Bill Shatner has actually taken a rocket to space and then returned to the planet surface safely. Of all the artists to cover this song, Shatner is the only one to actually live it out both on screen and in real life. Bill IS Major Tom.

“TANG (Never Went To The Moon)” by Jimi James

Posted on 2022-04-22 by Wacky Alex

It’s hard to find something funny to be the song of the day for Earth Day, but I think we’ve got it!

Jimi James is a Flat-earther. This video is designed to convince the public that The Earth is flat. Don’t confuse him with legendary producer Jimmy Jam.

The orange flavored sugar drink named “Tang” was used by early NASA crewed space flights. In 1962, John Glenn conducted eating experiments in orbit. Tang was on the menu. It was then used on other missions.

Jimi James would beg to differ. He also wants to remind us that “tang” is a vulgar slang word for vagina.

The video is age-restricted on YouTube so follow this link to listen.

By the way, the astronaut seen on the image above is Buzz Aldrin, the second person to set foot on the moon. He thinks Tang sucks.
