About this song (Last.fm)
“Blast Off!" is the eighth track off of Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. Previously leaked online, the song was originally written by Cuomo as the opening track to the aborted rock opera concept album Songs from the Black Hole. The melody for "Blast Off!" can be traced to at least two earlier songs composed by Rivers Cuomo: "Simply State," demoed in the spring of 1992, and "Negativland", recorded in May of 1993 about the experimental music band of the same name.
