1. Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf) ??:??

I saw the newest Star Trek movie last week or so ... the day it came out, anyway ... Star Trek: First Contact. Without giving anything away (heh!) Zephram Cochran is about to test the warp drive for the first time, an event which will initiate Earth's first contact with an alien race when a Vulcan vessel detects the warp signature.

Anywho, at the moment of lift-off, he has one of those, "Uh-oh, I've forgotten something!" moments, and then he flips a switch and the cabin is filled with the sounds of my mis-spent youth ... a band named "Steppenwolf" ... a song tittled "Magic Carpet Ride". I was taken back to a summer in college, twenty five years ago. A Most Appropriate song for the occassion.

I like to dream ... yes, yes!
Right between the sound machine.
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night;
Any place it goes is fine.
Goes far, flies near,
Put the stars away from here.
<chorus>
Well, you don't know what we can find;
Why don't you come with me, little girl,
On a MAGIC CARPET RIDE?
You don't know what we can see;
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free!

2. Killer Queen (Queen) 3:04

She'll only come out at night; the lean and hungry type

Woh-oh here she come. Watch out boy - she'll chew you up!
Woh-oh here she come. She's a man-eater!
