Just an Old-Fashioned Spaceman

Man, this made my day. nonmyopicdave posted a piece of his "alienpop" on MetaFilter's music section titled, "Rocketships". Please, just have a listen. You'll see what I mean. nmdave explains he used Band-In-A-Box to meld cheesy, midi beeps and melodies with two harmonizing, and you'll recognize standard, Apple text-to-speech voices to sing a poem from Leonard Nimoy's book, Warmed by Love (here it is on Amazon). The lyrics to "Rocketships":

Rocket ships Are exciting But so are roses On a birthday Computers are exciting But so is a sunset And logic Will never replace Love Sometimes I wonder Where I belong In the future Or In the past Rocket ships Are exciting But so are roses On a birthday Computers are exciting But so is a sunset And logic Will never replace Love I guess I'm just An old-fashioned Spaceman

nmdave has another hit, "Interplanetary Lover" (lyrics moderately NSFW, but really just silly). Two wonderful compositions, giggly and boppy, but it almost makes me look to the sky for my old-fashioned Spaceman [I absolutely adored this film as a kid]. . .
