"Satellite of Love" is a song written by Lou Reed which was sung by Joel Robinson, the bots, the Mads and Jack Perkins during a trip the SOL crew made to Earth. A few years later, Mike Nelson and the Bots would perform a more accurate rendition of the song while they were briefly on Earth.

Satellite's gone up to the stars
Things like that drive me out of my mind
