Nobody gonna mention Star Trekkin' (The Firm) or The Final Countdown (Europe).

M|A|R|R|S changed music with Pump Up the Volume ("put the needle to the record...")

A personal favourite: Star by Primal Scream.

If one somehow travelled to Deneb at very close to c then whenever you looked back you'd measure Earth as closer to you than the distance you would simultaneously measure between Earth and Dubhe.

Also 'Starlight' by the same.

"Shine on Harvest Moon" by Leon Redbone .

Dvorak's "Ode to the Moon" from Rusalka.

This board has certainly matured since I joined. No one has yet posted a link to "We Like the Moon," for which I am very grateful.

The Moon Song from the Mighty Boosh?

A mind's a terrible thing to lose.

So keep your spider sense on high
And before they drive you to booze,
Take time to roll up your pant legs, boys,
It's too late to save your shoes.

You mean this one? You did know it would be posted when you mentioned it, right?

Drops of Jupiter also has the distinction of being used as a wake-up call on STS-123.

Another space-themed song is One More Astronaut by I Mother Earth.

Not really about space, but it does mention the constellation.

Hmm, I can't remember... did anyone mention Jonathan King's one hit, Everyone's Gone To The Moon?

Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens, to. I have to browse through my music collection a bit.

I remember a planitarium show using vaguely related titles, like Up, Up and Away and Moon River.

Jimmy Buffett - Stardust
Saint - Star Pilot (only one I recalled, then I looked up the band to get the song name and saw titles such as Space Cruiser and Phantom of the Galaxy). It's a Christain Hair Metal band from the 1980's. Points for obscurity?
Monster Magnet - Space Lord

They Might Be Giants - Apollo 18 (album) - might have some space songs in it. Per Wiki - the band was named Musical Ambassadors for International Space Year. I looked up the band trying to find the title to their song about the Sun. Speaking of which:

Why does the Sun shine? - They Might Be Giants

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
