You can never go wrong with Booker T and the MG's! Anything by them is great, but the one you know is "Green Onions." (And yes, really, you know it.)
What’s a good movie with rockets in in it?
October Sky? Apollo 13? I assume they're good; I haven't seen either in a long time.
In 1977, Voyager I took off on its very long journey, loaded with two golden records containing sounds meant “to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them,” according to Wikipedia. The contents were chosen by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan, but if Dr. Sagan called you today (you know, from beyond) and said there was room for ten more minutes of music and he was letting you choose it, what would you fill the ten minutes with?
Oh man, what a toughie! The original list is actually quite diverse (NASA has the playlist posted here) so the obvious answer would be musical genres that didn't really peak until after 1977. Rap and hip-hop are, then, obvious contenders. Lauryn Hill's "Everything is Everything" has long been one of my favorites and incorporates the best elements of the genre.
And then for peak silly (because what are humans if not silly?), "Gangnam Style." Of course, aliens won't be able to understand what's so silly about the song if they just listen to it divorced from the music video, but maybe they'll still like the beat.
And much as I love Bach (the Brandenburg concertos are part of my work playlist), I would suggest maybe taking a couple of those of in favor of something else.
What’s something you know about constellations?
That for a star nerd, I'm really bad about actually being able to point them out. I can find Orion and Cassiopeia, and that's about it. Finding the north star? Forget it.
When did you last spend time in a rocking chair?
So long that I can't remember.
