Styx had a hit song back in the late '70s called "Come Sail Away."  One
verse went like this (I think):

    "We thought that they were angels,
     but much to our surprise,
     they climbed aboard their starships,
     and headed for the skies.
     
     Come sail way, etc, etc"

The sleeve of the 45 has a picture of a spaceship on it also.
