I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper

Here's an odd one. Watching TV the other day, one Sarah Brightman was being interviewed.
 
 
I didn't recognise the name to be honest but they played an old song she made 'I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper' [1979] and I thought, yes, I used to love that song! ......'Fighting for the Federation'!


Here she is singing it with the delightful Hot Gossip dancers on Top of The Pops in 1979 courtesy of You Tube.

 

 
 
 
It turns out that Miss Brightman is a life-long space nut [like us!] and get this, is in training to be a cosmonaut at Star City in Moscow! Way to go Sarah! She lifts off in 2015.
 
 
What's your favourite space pop song readers?
