The original recording was produced by Houston area KKBQ DJ, Mike Cahill, also included original lyrics recorded to the theme music of the TV show “Green Acres”. Robin Williams was approached by Cahill about doing the tape. NASA knew nothing of the tape until it was offered as a gift by Cahill. Mike Cahill, writer, producer for KKBQ Radio, Houston and a part-time on-call tour guide at JSC, said he had listened to some wake-up calls a year and a half ago and some of them were, "You know, kind of awful. So what I did was thought gee it would be nice to write, produce and custom design songs for the astronauts. I picked three tunes that were pretty catchy, that were very short and upbeat. Green Acres was the first one. I thought gosh that would be the last thing they'll expect to hear.” Pat Mattingly, who works in Mission Control, found out Cahill was doing them and said they were looking for new stuff. She gave a tape to CAPCOM Kathy Sullivan. Mike wrote the lyrics in early 1987. Threw in Discovery because knew it would be next Orbiter to fly. He collaborated with Mark Richardson, the leader of a band named "Eclipse." Mike and Mark worked on putting the music together. Richardson played keyboard, guitars, drum machine. Mike called on Patrick Brennan who used to be with now-defunct group "Popkorn" that played in clubs around Clear Lake to do the vocals. Mike and Mark helped out on the chorus for Green Acres. Green Acres was Mike's favorite. "It was as dopey and stupid and corny as I had hoped it would be." He said he wanted to show that NASA people have a sense of humor. "It's the closest I'll ever get to going to space." From JSC Query Book

STS-29

[edit]

March 13-18, 1989

Discovery’s astronauts generally toed the line on a new NASA edict to cut the comedy, at least for public viewing, but they showed some flashes of fun in space, mainly in the battle of wakeup songs. When Discovery made the first post-Challenger flight last September, the five astronauts awoke to Beach Boys music parodies and clowned for television cameras in bright Hawaiian shirts. And even though the December flight of Atlantis was a classified military mission, word leaked of special wakeup music not particularly flattering to the Pentagon. And both crews videotaped themselves playing in the weightlessness of orbit, turning somersaults, throwing a football and feeding each other candy. The tapes were shown at public gatherings. The astronauts’ wacky wakeup calls and zany acrobatics got attention, which upset NASA because it felt the reports made the flights look like all play and no work. “We’ve learned that if you crack a joke or show somebody doing something funny, that’s the 10 seconds that gets on the evening news, and not the two hours of work you just showed,” Discovery commander Michael Coats said in a pre-launch interview. So space agency officials told Discovery’s crew to cool it when the cameras or microphones were on. “NASA has no official sense of humor anymore,” said Bob Springer, one of Coats’ crewmates. “So we’re somewhat restricted now on what we can do.” Discovery’s flight started out strictly following the policy, with wakeup calls played by Mission Control limited to presentations like the Marine Hymn, for the two crewmen who are Marines. But on Day 3 [sic], things loosened up. From AP-NY-03-19-89

CAPCOM: G. David Low. Low responded with ad lib: “Discovery, Houston – Beam Me Up, Scotty.”
  • Day 5: Discovery crew woke up Mission Control with “Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, It’s Off To Work We Go” from movie “Snow White.” Mission Control replied with “Stars and Stripes Forever”. CAPCOM: G. David Low
  • Day 6: Mission Control sent recordings of astronauts’ children shouting such things as “Get up, Dad, get out of bed and get to work” and “Hi, daddy, this is your darling daughter telling you to wake up.” This was followed by “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. The crew responded with “Homeward Bound” by Simon and Garfunkel.

Wake-up calls

[edit]

A tradition for NASA spaceflights since the days of Gemini, mission crews are played a special musical track at the start of each day in space. Each track is specially chosen, often by their family, and usually has special meaning to an individual member of the crew, or is applicable to their daily activities.[1]
