From the NASA JSC Co-op video group...

"ISS Baby" is a parody of the early 90's Vanilla Ice rap song "Ice Ice Baby" with lyrics changed to focus on the ISS. Scenes are shots in various locations around JSC.
“Apollo Guys” pays tribute to the people in the Apollo Program who landed the first humans on the moon, as well as looks forward to the Constellation Program that will take us back and then beyond. The recent pop hit “Apologize” by Timbaland and OneRepublic serves as the inspiration for the lyrics.

Could we have a hard rock/heavy metal (whatever name you'd like to label it) version?

Who on Earth(!) is Vanilla Ice? Or more to the point who remembers Vanilla Ice? Is this "musician/artist" (man it hurts typing this) still around?

Obviously you've led a sheltered life Chris, but there again Robert Matthew Van Winkle (yes you read it correctly!) probably spent more time on litigation than he did "sampling" other people's music! This dreadful song is "borrowed" from Bowie/Queen's "Under Pressure."

And BTW I'm with you on a better (prog) rock theme!

Thanks for pinpointing "Under pressure" by Queen- I knew there was something familiar with this rap..ahem...well..song.
