Moon Songs to Celebrate Moon Day

Published by Toronto Mike on July 20, 2009 @ 08:45 in Lists

40 years ago today, we put a man on the moon. I missed the whole thing, having not been born yet and all. I'll bet it was quite the event. Had I been born, I'd likely have live-blogged it and tweeted the hell out of it.

It's pretty cool we put a man on the moon with 1969 technology. We should do something else for the first time, just to prove we've still got it.

In honour of this 40th anniversary, here are some moon songs culled from my MP3 collection. If you've got a moon song I've missed, drop it in the comments.
