Nice couple of posts about the best songs about space @ Sci Fi Songs.  But the best song about space is “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day)” by the Carpenters.  It might be the best song ever recorded:

In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we’re about to sing

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft

We’ve been observing your earth
And one night we’ll make a contact with you
We are your friends

Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft

And please come in peace we beseech you
(Only of love we will teach you)
Our earth may never survive
(So don’t come we beg you)
Please interstellar policemen
Won’t you give us a sign, give us a sign that we’ve reached you

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate, together that’s the way
To send a message we declare World Contact Day

Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft

We are your friends
