Playlist for a moon disco.

A little story I made for my friend Camilla, accompanying a CD of music. The (very loose) theme was "songs that would sound great at a party in space". My music taste's a bit odd and hers is very good, so there are a few shockers in there!

There was once a disco on the moon. Pink Floyd (circa Syd Barrett) kicked off with "ASTRONOMY DOMINE" attracting Portishead, Beth Gibbons enjoyed it so much that she exclaimed "ALL MINE"! Her crackly vocals were heard by The Flaming Lips, who sang "SHE DON'T USE JELLY" in mockery. Lemon Jelly thought they meant them and did a "SHOUTY TRACK" in anger. Donovan appeared on his magic carpet and tried to calm down everyone with "COLOURS", but was trodden on by Ladytron riding their "WHITE ELEPHANT". Roxy Music flew over in Brian Eno's spaceship, chilling the scene with "2HB", but unfortunately attracted Richard Cheese and he had time to play "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" (originally by Disturbed). In response to a bad song, Blur came to the rescue with "GOOD SONG" but Alison Goldfrapp wanted to clone Damon's "LOVELY HEAD". David Bowie, who lived nearby, cried out "QUEEN BITCH" and Kings Of Leon (before they got shite) suggested they put her in "THE BUCKET". Doghorse hinted "I LIKE BUKKAKE" but everyone ignored them. "STUPID GIRL" said Garbage and Little Feat sensed hostility, so funked things up with "FAT MAN IN THE BATHTUB". CocoRosie were envious of Feat's facial hair and tried to distract everyone with "NOAH'S ARK" but Modest Mussorgsky, via a timewarp, put them in thier place with "THE CATACOMBS". Then The Vines (who actually have an alien in them) cheered things up a bit with "OUTTATHAWAY" and my dad sang a song about a "FORSAKEN MERMAN". The Darkness screamed the lyrical gem "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY WOMAN" to nobody in particular and Catatonia described them as just a "PART OF THE FURNITURE". Nobody had noticed that Radiohead were there all along, because they were in a massive "SULK". To round things off The Rolling Stones conjoured up a rainbow to slide back to earth on, by singing "SHE'S A RAINBOW", and they all went home (except for Bowie who lived there).

Wotta awkward, misguided partay! Other playlists I would like to make are "songs that are only popular on the internet", "songs I say I like to make people think I'm edgy and hipster", "songs I snigger at but actually enjoy and know the whole dance routine for" and "songs to have a good cry wank to".

And you get a cookie if you know where the very accurate moon photo is from.
