What should be on the tribute playlist for Neil Armstrong?

Aug 26, 2012 4:59 PM

Sirius/XM Classic Pops station is playing Moonlight Sonata in honor of Neil Armstrong. I think Sirius/XM should dedicate a channel today of strictly moon songs in Neil's honor. What should be the playlist?

Here's my first suggestion:

This isn't a moon song, but I remember the night that Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and the song they played the next day.

That night, my dog decided that it was the perfect time to jump over the fence, at just about the time for the moonwalk. So, I grabbed my dad's transistor radio and went looking for the "stupid" dog. (The radio was AM only; FM radio had just come to Kansas the year before.) I didn't want to miss one word about the moonwalk. Yes, I found the dog and made it back in time for Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon.

So what was the song they were playing the next day? Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. Even now, I can hear Louis Armstrong singing that song whenever I think of the first moon landing.

RIP Neil Armstrong. Thank you and your fellow astronauts for giving us heroes.

Shouldn't the theme from 2001 be on that list?

"sleeping satellite" by tasmin archer.

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance? In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try to justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
