"Spaceship" is the first single by the post-grunge band Puddle of Mudd from their album Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate . The music video premiered on Yahoo Music on November 16, 2009. As of August 2010, "Spaceship" has shifted 118,000 copies in the United States. [1]
The video directed by Petro (The Academy Is, Rufus Wanwright) channels the best in space travel with alien strippers and an homage to Star Wars and its scrolling text intro. Rounding out the rockstar antics are the daredevils of Nitro Circus, including Travis Pastrana on his signature dirtbike. [2]
Some people consider the song to be inspired by the Douglas Adams character, Zaphod Beeblebrox.
