Carmen Miranda's Ghost 05 - Some Kind of Hero
I dont know why but since i read the Expanse books this song drives me to tears every time.
"Hero of Canton" needs no introduction.
I would have never known that this song from Firefly was a whole genre of music called Filk. I don't believe I've ever heard anything else similar from other shows that I have seen.
It's a strange genre but it gets it's own track at Dragoncon.
I don't know a lot of them, mostly just a set of Star Trek ones I heard on Doctor Demento decades ago. But recently I have enjoyed Aurelio Voltaire's "USS Make Shit Up".
Rocket Rider’s Prayer, which is also from Carmen Miranda’s ghost: https://youtu.be/MApwCxI6Oek
Also, ‘39 by Queen
The old radio show X Minus One had an episode about folks songs of the spaceways. That's what came to mind when I saw this
