Music Class Theme Songs: Solar System (10/28-11/08)

For the next two weeks at Sullivan School the students will be learning about their solar system.  As we tour the neighborhood from Mercury on out we'll be learning some new space-based songs.  The first of which was created for the Animaniacs, "The Planet Song."  They include Pluto, as this was written before the very controversial decision to relegate it as a mere dwarf planet, and neglect to mention Uranus until the very end. That said, it was a good jumping off point and this version is still quite close to what we'll be doing in music class.

Our older students will be learning David Bowie's "Space Oddity."  There was a great illustration done by Andrew Kolb to accompany this song and even alone, it is a classic space song from the late '60s.  Enjoy!
