So, most of these deal with love and whatever, but metaphorically, they’re space jams !!!
David Bowie, "Space Oddity"
The title track from the album of the same name, David Bowie's "Space Oddity" might be the quintessential space jam. Fun fact: Commander Chris Hadfield performed the song on the International Space Station in May 2013, because, like, what is more space than singing in space?

The Kinks, "Supersonic Rocket Ship"
Ray Davies, the mastermind behind the Kinks, wrote "Supersonic Rocket Ship" in response to BS celebrity culture, using the metaphor of an awesome rocket ship where "nobody has to be hip" and "nobody's gonna travel second class." Basically, go to space, everyone is chill there.

Liz Phair, "Supernova"
Here's the rundown: Liz Phair is, like, super into some bro, who is so sick he's basically a human supernova. Literally nothing says love like a solid space metaphor.

Radiohead, "Subterranean Homesick Alien"
Space can also represent isolation, vastness, feeling all the sad feelings you've ever felt; Radiohead teaches us this in college.
