RAM: Space Oddity Deleted Easter Eggs

This is probably the most fun and exclusive RAM there will ever be: the song titles, singers, television shows/movies, books, the occasional concept, and band names that just didn't make it into the final Space Oddity manuscript...and therefore probably won't appear anywhere but here, unless the animated series in development gets greenlighted. I'm not saying never a third book, but I'm not planning one right now. 

Italics means a song, book, or show--should be obvious which--everything else is a band or a singer.

Enjoy, because I really wanted these in there! Ugh! Killing your darlings SUCKS ASS.

"...Thus, while all historians are born capable of disputatiosynthesis, the process by which arguing over minutia is converted into calories, the more minute the minutia, the greater the feast, as the union motto goes..."

"...descended upon the Ursula research flotilla Go Ask Ursula, a 29/14 bring your own bunsen burner science rager consisting of the ships Also Ursula, Additional Ursula, Ursula Too: Electric Ursaloo, Still Ursula After All These Years, Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Ursula Like Me, What Are You Doing, Step-Ursula, When Ursula Met Ursula, and the grand flagship, 99 Red Balloons."
