Eclipse-related songs?

[BlondeSpiders]

I'm running a quiz on Monday and thought it'd be fun to have a themed playlist. I need about 2 hours. Any suggestions?

Here's what I have so far:

• Total Eclipse of the Heart (OBVS, but I'm only playing it once.)
  
• Black Hole Sun
• Steal My Sunshine (Len)
• Eclipse (Pink Floyd)

I'm thinking any songs about suns, Earth, the moon, or any planets/heavenly bodies.

Thanks!!

(Any Seattle/Eastsiders: I'll be at Issaquah Brewpub, quiz starts at 6!)
