Favourite anime of mine, Twin Spica, makes a big deal about that harmonica - the first musical instrument to leave earth.

Although I personally would classify what Sputnik emitted as a signal, rather than a song, but I ain't gonna start a fight at Christmastime.   :-) For the record, I had a great experience doing this, and would love to see some crowdsourcing effort develop to pull more treasures from the NASA archives.  There is a lot more cool stuff to be found.

Who cares, though! This little clip fills me with more holiday cheer than all the radio stations playing 24/7 Christmas music combined.
