Likely the first song composed for an artificial celestial body. I don't recall any song for Sputnik . . .

All the planets in the solar system (besides Earth) are mentioned in the lyrics, as well as other celestial bodies.

David Bowie.

Also, from the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: Hang On to Yourself (also mentions Mars).

B-52's - 53 Miles West of Venus

There's also Planet Claire, but I'm not sure which celestial sphere it belongs to. All the trees are red, if that helps.
