"'''Blast Off!'''" is a song by [[Rivers Cuomo]] which was intended to be the opening track to the unfinished rock opera, ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''. Although previously leaked, this song saw an official release on ''[[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', where it has a fixed intro (the original has the world 'blast' truncated) and also leads directly into "[[Who You Callin' Bitch?]]" as was intended for [[Songs_from_the_Black_Hole#Track_Lists|Track List 2]]. | "'''Blast Off!'''" is a song by [[Rivers Cuomo]] which was intended to be the opening track to the unfinished rock opera, ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''.

The lead-off track (Act 1, Scene 1) for Songs from the Black Hole is a dramatic rock song with a high-reaching melody and shifting dynamics. The song takes place on the main deck of the spaceship Betsy II on May 10, 2126. The lyrics are a conversation between the main character [[Jonas]] and his shipmates [[Wuan]] and [[Dondó]]. Jonas is excited yet reserved about the prospect of doing what he thinks is his dream job, that is, going out into space to save [[Nomis]] from being swallowed by it's sun. Wuan and Dondó are much more upbeat about the experience. In the middle of the song, [[M1]] interjects via vocoder to remind them of the task at hand. In the last verse we find that a female character, [[Maria]], the ship's cook, has entered the scene and that Jonas has a history with her from back at [[Star Corps Academy]].
