There's a song from Mecano. Two lines always hit me. I will try to translate it.
And while Earth was trowing a giant party
where happiness mixes tears in the champagne
Laika just was looking out the window
What could be that giant colored ball?
And why do I keep spinning it around?

Sovětští mužici Those Soviet chaps vypustili družici Let out a satellite Lajku do ní nacpali They stuffed Laika into it a nažrat jí nedali. Not giving her anything to eat Na kytaru trsaj rock'n'roll. Strum rock'n'roll on your guitar Lajka letí k Měsíci Lajka's flying to the Moon hlady žere družici Eating the satellite out of hunger Lajka volá SOS Lajka's calling "SOS" ať tu chcípne jinej pes! "Let another dog croak here!" Na kytaru trsaj rock'n'roll. Strum ... The Prague Spring events put a damper on this kind of thing.
