Happy Music Monday! The first recorded sighting of Halley's Comet was today back in 240 BC. It won't be back for quite some time, but when it gets here, it'll find Scott's gathered this small selection of comet songs in its honor! Isn't that nice?
Paul Simon wrote this for his son, and when you know that, it's obvious what this song is about. Sort of a much more catchy version of that book Go The F To Sleep. And it's lovely too.
More comety goodness coming up, after the jump.
I don't think this song has ever been put on an album, but it's certainly been played live over and over again. Then again, I know less about Phish than I do about comets, so I'll be happy to stand corrected in the comments if need be.
Not everything Bjork does is for the masses. This sweet little fairy tale video, however, could easily be embraced by all. And yet, it stays in the realm of art. Who but Bjork can pull that off?
Much like The Archies, this cartoon band came to life and became fan favorites. Unlike The Archies, Dethklok is way metal.
The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon
Turns out it's very hard to find five songs about comets! So I went for one that mentioned comments. Maybe you'll enjoy doing the same.
