The Lyrics
July 20, 2009 marked the forty year anniversary of man's first moon landing in Apollo 11.
This old moon in the skies,
Target of our lunar flies
It's a great host planet,
Solid as our own..
To this old moon
Great men have flown..
This old moon it's been walked
By Neil Armstrong, and he talked
Sayin' "One small step for man"
Followed by the line,
" A giant leap for all mankind"
This old moon it's been had
Craters no more virgin clad,
In a hop drop, Apollo stop
Nineteen sixty nine..
Buzz Aldrin helped make it shine
This old moon out in space,
Astronauts pock marked it's face
With their space ships, rocket trips,
Lasting many years,
This old moon we gave big ears
This old moon it had shows
Got rocks off in videos,
Rolled a rover over,
Sent 'em back to earth
This old moon has had rebirth
This old moon it's been shot
Six times on it's surface, got
With 11, 12, 14, 15
Sixteen, seventeen, too..were keen
This old moon photos snapped,
Samples of it's surface tapped,
With a robot, gobot
Scoopin' up some dirt..
Looks like one great big des-ert
This old moon flies our flag
Put there on a pole to brag
Staked, our aim, we can claim
Lunar for ourselves,
This old moon might spawn some elves
This old moon ain't cheese, I thunk
Just dust and rocks, lotta' NASA junk
Been Apollo'd solid,
Several times explored
This old moon..to it, men soared
This old moon shines away
In the night and sometimes day,
It's been forty years now,
Since Apollo lit..
Let's moon this moon
To honor it..
Moon this old moon
To honor it..
Target of our lunar flies
It's a great host planet,
Solid as our own..
To this old moon
Great men have flown..
This old moon it's been walked
By Neil Armstrong, and he talked
Sayin' "One small step for man"
Followed by the line,
" A giant leap for all mankind"
This old moon it's been had
Craters no more virgin clad,
In a hop drop, Apollo stop
Nineteen sixty nine..
Buzz Aldrin helped make it shine
This old moon out in space,
Astronauts pock marked it's face
With their space ships, rocket trips,
Lasting many years,
This old moon we gave big ears
This old moon it had shows
Got rocks off in videos,
Rolled a rover over,
Sent 'em back to earth
This old moon has had rebirth
This old moon it's been shot
Six times on it's surface, got
With 11, 12, 14, 15
Sixteen, seventeen, too..were keen
This old moon photos snapped,
Samples of it's surface tapped,
With a robot, gobot
Scoopin' up some dirt..
Looks like one great big des-ert
This old moon flies our flag
Put there on a pole to brag
Staked, our aim, we can claim

This old moon ain't cheese, I thunk

This old moon..to it, men soared
This old moon shines away
In the night and sometimes day,
It's been forty years now,
Since Apollo lit..
Let's moon this moon
To honor it..
Moon this old moon
To honor it..

Tranquility Base here...Airfarcewon has landed (another hit!)
The moonwalk footage is still as amazing today as it was 40 yrs ago. Saddening, though, to think that we've all but abandoned the space exploration program today. It'll never happen again. :(
Nice recap - I liked them hitting golf balls best. I would hope we wouldn't see much more space stuff until we get the debt in control.
" . . . lotta of NASA junk. . . " loved that line, Sir L'Air de Farce, Mighty Duke o'Edge, Lord ~SatyrMajor~ !
Appreciate it, OMR. Fiddlegirl, Timmy, and LCC
Great moon-farcing on this one. 545.... and how did this whole "L'air" thing get started? Every time I see it, I think L'arc~en~Ciel.
Sorry, I meant 455.... always get the pacing and the funny mixed up...
Farce - Moon the moon? What a concept. I fell out when I read that - LOL.
Kirk - Is that an old 21st century Gamma Ray Gun there?
Scotty - Aye it be- from 40,000 feet I kin see it clear as a bell
Checkov - Lets see keptun - vun squeeze uf da trigger vill tell if it still verks..
Man in the Moon - Hey point that thing the other way you dumb Rooskie.
ZAP!
McCoy - He's dead Jim!
Kirk - My God! - He shot his eye out!
I can remember when Sputnik was put into orbit and I remember Kennedy saying that we should put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. And I remember watching in astonishment the video sent back to earth and shown on the old black and white TV - but who needed color on the moon anyway? I realy like this fine tribute to one of the few events I can remember as clearly as if they were yesterday. I can tell you that I was in 6TH period History class in 7TH grade on Nov 22, 1963 - I can tell you that I was in my family living room watcing man on the moon in the mid afternoon on July 20, 1969 and I was at work manning the base communication center on a military base at 10:00AM CDT Sep 11, 2001. Thanks for the memories. Fine work.

Moonificent.
clever concept...fun to read
"One small step for man...3 giant heaps of all 5's!" In the words of Jim Carrey from "Dumb and Dumber": "We've landed on the moon!" Dug your spoof on one of my fave childhood songs! It's out of this world!
Thanks, DJ, Correction, Guy, John, alvin, and Christie
