It's five in the morning and I'm still up. Just desserts for sleeping too late at the start if this day. I'm contemplating staying up, but I think I should go to bed lest my resolve give out at 8am and I waste all of tomorrow in bed. Nothing's wrong, I'm just up because I haven't been awake for eighteen hours and my body thinks it's midnight. And now, a song.

This is The Astronaut Song.
A funny little song I hope you sing along.
This is The Astronaut Song.
Me and the monkey pass the time with Pong.

All I know is that I love you when I'm floating in space,
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the face.
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the face.
All I know is that I love you when I'm floating in space,
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the face.

This is The Astronaut Song.
Man, I wish I'd brought my friends along.
This is The Astronaut Song.
I love the monkey when he plays his gong.

(chorus)

This is The Astronaut Song.
This is the end, now it won't be long.
This is The Astronaut Song.
I think back to places that I've gone.

(chorus)

This is The Astronaut Song.
In a black hole, now I am gone.
This is The Astronaut Song.
I saved the monkey but not his gong.

All I know is that I love you when I'm floating in space,
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the---
All I know is that I love you when I'm floating in space,
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the face.
A funny little song so the monkey punched me in the face.
All I know is that I love you so the monkey punched me in the face,
A funny little song when I am floating in space.
A funny little song when I am floating in space.
All I know is that I love you when I'm floating in space...

"The Astronaut Song" Words by M. Wilson. David hates it, so this will never be an RCY song. That's okay, it wouldn't be crowd friendly like "Riot Grrl" or "The Cowboy, the Indian, and the Cyborg;" it's a funny little song about an astronaut dying all alone in deep space, not a topic usually covered in funny little songs. RCY should perform one old MTD song at every show; next up, "The Viking Song"! No way, even better, we should put "The Viking Song" on CODENAME: Koala! That and "Shiver Me Timbers"! Arrrrh!
