When it comes to space pop or pop songs circling around space themes it shows once again: the Germans are very down to earth.Their thoughts rarely go further than the moon - very romantic. In the 50s/60s when everyone went space crazy the Germans had other things to worry about than spaceships, life on other planets or the endless sky. So interestingly it almost took until the early 80s that the first real aliens set foot on the German pop map. Fred from Jupiter and Codo invaded the charts and Major Tom lost his mind on a mission into the unknown. So take your protein pills and put your helmet on. The Germans are going into space....
