Space Dance

Raquel Welch dances in a silver bikini to a jazzed up version of Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" — since Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey forever made that piece synonymous with space travel.

The clip is from Raquel!, a 1970 CBS television special.

Interesting to watch this right after hearing Tom Petty's "Last Dance With Mary Jane" on the radio.

Love the futuristic sculptures! And if any ladies out there are looking for Halloween costume ideas…

Wow. If there's one piece that didn't need jazzing up...
