i think that both David Bowie and Gary Newman, have spent their whole careers, performing sci-fi songs, they have surpassed all of us and have moved out into space. i especially like the part in Bowie's
pretty things, where he thinks all his friends in their glam hot pants and skin tight blouses with make up and mullets dyed orange are going to take over because they are, homo Superior, beautiful, ninety pound aliens beating us with their hermaphrodite wieners, and new wave lip gloss, a scary, scary future, which i think we missed some how, damn.
not a complete list i know there are more, so let me know if you think of any, i think Jad Fair has a few goodies but i can't remember them.
Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robot" is a whole album in the sci-fi spirit. The title track is a classic. I sing it as a lullaby for the kids all the time. Isa has always liked the part explaining that fighting killer space robots requires "taking lots of vitamins".
