Roberto Gomez Bolanos (aka Chespirito) is a Mexican writer, actor, comedian, and songwriter who served as the inspiration for The Simpsons character the Bumblebee Man. He continuously starred in shows on Mexican television from 1970 to 1995 and became well known throughout Latin America. He also put out a few albums. One of these (Chespirito y sus Canciones) contained a song entitled Los Astronautas which uses the intro to 2112 note for note. The rest of the song is just plain goofy - and in Spanish of course. Thanks to reader Luis for digging up this little "gem". You can listen to the first couple minutes of the song using the player above or access it directly here:
