Story Behind The Song
When my friend & photographer Seth Kushner brainstormed ideas for the album artwork, he was dead set in putting me in a space helmet & playing up the whole outer space theme. An avid comic book/movie geek, it was right up his alley. And mine, too. It f
Song Description
A bunch of hi-energy loops & a lot of wacky Nord sounds went a long way on this one. I got real ambitious with separating all the loops & mixing things up. The voice of Mission Control at the outset is Dave Foxx, who is the "voice" of Z100 radio in NY.

Lyrics
Q*Ball In Space
10, 9, 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Put on your space helmet & get ready to run
Pump it up to the cosmos & outta sight
Lift off - second star to the right
Quincy Bravo Apple Love Love in space
Brought a Tang & Tonic just in case
With his lizard girl mechanic & his robot friend
The chrome-domed avenger will fly to the end of the universe
It's a close encounter of the Q*Ball kind
Deep in the stratosphere, blowin your mind
Bald freak of the week & ahead of his time
Intergalactic suckers, get in line
Q*Ball in space
And now he's in your face & now you're on your feet
And everyone's in line, they're moving to the beat
Everybody's having a real good time
Earth is the first place you'll see him on the map
So everybody clap your hands & shake that ass
We're gonna take over the world
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Back in the ship, time to rocket again
On the tail of a comet in the Milky Way
Speeding to the music like a gamma ray
First stop Pluto & you know where he's off to next
Headed to Uranus, shake your booty, shake your booty, do what you do best
Neptune is the next tune, a big planet with a few blue moons
And pretty soon Q*Ball is gonna make all of Neptune swoon
Spin around the Saturn ring, Q*Ball is gonna stop & sing
And be a Jupiter King
Then it's off to Mars in his flying cars
Dancing with the Martians in the cocktail bars
Q*Ball's conquered Earth & now it's on to Venus
They ain't seen nothin', he's the baddest he's the meanest
Making Venetians blind with the light that shines off his cranium
And now it's time to hop back in the ship, off to Mercury
And now you're just too hot, you've gotta stop & see it to believe it
Every living thing on every planet will receive it
And finally he's headed straight to the sun, where Q*Ball's number one
He's gonna make you shake your buns, so have some fun & sing...
