"MInus Ten" -- Mm. I think you're right, there's not much there that lends itself to a more "cinematic" effect.
I have MP3s of both "Surprise" (as done by Gunnar Madsen for the Virtual Filksing) and "Fire In the Sky" (recorded by Kristoph Klover, also for the Virtual Filksing, with a bridge and an additional verse about Challenger that aren't present in the version you linked to). (And much as I love Leslie and her performances, I like Gunnar's version much better.) I too have no idea (yet) what to do with "Surprise", but I always saw "Fire in the Sky"as a flight song, possibly even a heavy-lift flight song. "Countdown" might be much the same.
