This is a good friend of mine's "Heinlein-esque" tale of a future where all the rich people live in space. He wrote this before Wall-E as well, and typically introduces the song stating they stole his idea
So what are some other (hopefully obscure) songs one could use as a "opening theme" for your Star Hero campaign?

After the Terracide... 300 years from today, artificial space colonies orbit distant stars while terraformers labor to create new worlds for humanity. Bizarre aliens come to trade exotic goods unknown to Terran technology. And the lifeless, charred husk of mankind's homeworld slowly cools in the empty, silent void of a dead star system. Welcome to the rest of the Galaxy; It's Dark Out There.

Actually, the next Star Hero game I'm likely to run will be Alien Wars, and I plan on riffing on the strong retro vibe they went for in the game by having a lot of neo-swing in rotation on the mp3 player.

There are stories of faeries and banshees and the walking dead; but "the worst of them all," is the Fool of Forth, the Amadan-na-Briona, he whose stroke is, as death, incurable.
As to the fool in this world, the pity for him is mingled with some awe, for who knows what windows may have been opened to those who are under the moon's spell, who do not give in to our limitations, are not "bound by reason to the wheel."

You're either gonna love this or just plain hate it. Brian May, Eddie van Halen and, uh... some weird Japanese program. I have no idea. Cheeze Whiz, anyone?

Not exactly swing, but it's retro enough to fit...the theme song for any Alien Wars game I run.
