• This racing club track finds The Wanted quintet comparing themselves to a satellite. "I don't want to come down. I just want your love now!," they proclaim.

• Explorer I was the first American satellite, which was launched in 1958. Although it carried a number of instruments, Explorer I was relatively small, weighing just 30 pounds. The satellite stopped transmission of data later in the year, when its batteries died. Four years later the 34 inch spherical communications satellite Telstar 1 backed by President Kennedy was launched, paving the way for live broadcasting from thousands of miles away. At the time the British group, The Tornadoes, recorded an instrumental titled after the satellite, which became the first #1 single in the US for a UK band.
