Subject: some crazy song no one else can remember
i seem to recall from sometime,(late 70s early 80s) a woman singing a song as if she was talking to her boyfriend in space!! It was like she was having a conversation on the phone.
Nobody else seems to remember it but i'm sure i haven't omagined it. Can anybody help?

One possibility may be a song by, I believe her name was Charlie (yes, that was her first name) Doerr or Dore
and the song was titled "Pilate on the Airwaves"
The song was basically about a female radio listener who was phoning into her local radio station desperately trying to get her favorite song played on the radio. The lyrics went something like,
"Pilate on the Airwaves, this is my request,
you don't have to play it but I hope you do your best,
I've been listening to your show on the radio...." etc.
The only other song I can think of that vaguely meets your criteria is "Rapture" by Blondie which makes some Mars and space-like references but I'm guessing the former song is the right one
Good luck,

I'm not sure what year this song came out but I do recall one called 'Clouds Across the Moon' which sounds like it might be the one you're thinking of. Can't remember who its by either.

Good Evening, this is the intergalactic operator, can I help You ?
Mrs Johnson
Yes, I'm trying to reach Flight Commander P. R. Johnson on Mars, Flight 2-4-7
Operator
There well, hold on please --- You're through
Mrs Johnson
Thank You, Operator
Hi, Darling, how You're doing ?
Hey, Baby, where You sleeping ?
Oh I'm sorry, but I've been really missing You
Hi, Darling, how's the weather ?
Say, Baby, is that cold better now ?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with You ?
Oh since You went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend or it's the end
Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon
- O Baby - You hurry home to me
Hi, Darling, the kids say they love You
Hey, Baby, is everything fine with You ?
Please forgive me but I'm trying not to cry
Oh, I've had a million different offers on the phone
But I just stay right here at home
I don't think that I can take it anymore
This crazy war !
Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon
- O Darling - You hurry home to me
Operator
I'm sorry to interrupt Your conversation,
sbut we're experiencing violent storm conditions in the Asteroid belt at this time,
we may lose this variable deep space communication link,
please be as brief as possible, thank You
Mrs Johnson
Oh since You went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend or it's, it's ...
Hello, Hello, Operator ? --- Yes, You seem to have lost the connection, could You try again please ?
Operator
I'm sorry but I'm afraid we have lost contact to Mars 2-4-7 at this time
Mrs Johnson
OK, well thank You very much - I'll try again next year.
Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon

This is the intergalactic operator
