Every so often, I refresh the default playlist on my MP3 player, usually by checking out the playlists from KROQ and KNDD. So, I’m adding the song “Satellite” by Guster and I notice that there are a lot of songs named the same. I’ve got 11 tracks named “Satellite” by various artists, from Anna Nalick to Collective Soul to Smashmouth. That doesn’t even count the variants like “Satellite Ecstatica” by PWEI or “Boom Boom Satellite” by Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Wonder why it’s such a popular word for a song title. Must be a lot of folks that were brought up in awe of the space race.
