Did you know that NASA uses music to wake up astronauts on space missions? So says NASA's history division in this report (pdf). It lists various space missions and the music played on each. Here are a few songs of many not coming from the King of Rock n' Roll:
Of course, Elvis Presley is well-represented. Which songs? A bunch:
- Burning Love
- Hound Dog
- Are You Lonesome Tonight?
- Return to Sender
- Please Release Me
- Devil In Disguise
- Stuck On You
By my tally, "Hound Dog" is the Elvis song that astronauts awoke to the most.
Update: I later came across an old post on Elvis Today that is about this very topic. The blog confirms my conclusion about "Hound Dog."
