Here’s “Everyone’s Gone to the Moon”, but it’s not the song by Jonathan King. Here's the lyrics:
Everyone's gone to the moon
Nobody lives here anymore
The mailbox is empty, the eye never blinks
The doorman just sits in his corner and drinks
Since everyone's gone to the moon
Some people live on a star
They don't know how lucky they are
They stay in the clouds and they twinkle around
On magical carpets that never touch down
That's life, so they say, on a star
There was a world that once I knew
Shining in fields of morning dew
So green and sky so blue
Have you ever been to the sun?
I hear it's a whole lot of fun
There's no need for flashcubes and things like Texas Pete
It's really ideal all except for the heat
But I hear it's lonely in June
'Cause everyone's gone to the moon
Mike Craver-- vocals, keyboards & Theremin
words & music by Mike Craver

As already mentioned, this is not the Jonathan King version, which was written and recorded in 1965 while King was still an undergraduate at Cambridge University. Released by Decca Records, it reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 17 in the US Billboard Hot 100. But King was more than a one hit wonder, & for a nice overview of his rather astounding life, I simply refer you to https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/mar/29/ukcrime.childprotection1

The initial black and white image of the rocket is uncredited, as far as I could tell. I found it at https://8tracks.com/theairinthebranches/everyone-s-gone-to-the-moon. Also uncredited are the photos of the buzzer panel, & the doorman. The “eye” image is from Pixabay’s openclipart-vectors-30363 user & is free for usage with no attribution required. I got the empty mailbox photo from Shutterstock. “The Creation of the Sun, Moon and Plants” is one of the frescoes from Michelangelo's nine Books of Genesis scenes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The image of Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur kissing is from “The More the Merrier”, a 1943 American film made by Columbia Pictures & directed by George Stevens. The director of photography was Ted Tetzlaff. I found the gif from Isabelle Olmo’s Tumblr site: https://bellecs.tumblr.com/.
The silhouette of the man standing on the rock looking up into the sky was taken by Greg Rakozy of the Unsplash Photo Community. I found the lovely gif of winter stars on the Tenor site, among many others, but could not find an accreditation for it. The next photo, the Pillars of Creation, was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, of the elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, specifically the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light years from Earth (Wikipedia). The black and white clips of the ladies transported through the sky are from George Melies’s 1912 film “The Conquest of the Poles”, which is in the public domain.
The landscape paintings that follow are Thomas Cole’s “The Oxbow”, (The Connecticut River near Northampton) 1836; Gustav Dore’s “The Scottish Highlands”, 1875; & “Shadows on the Sea at Pourville” by Claude Monet, 1882. The images of the Sun & Sun explosion are from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory records. The film clip of the moon eclipsing the sun is from George Melies’s 1907 film ”The Eclipse: Courtship of the Sun and Moon”, and is in the public domain. I found the gif of the man taking the flash photo on the Tenor site, but I located no author. The “Texas Pete” image is from PinClip.com… “free high quality clip art” & is listed as “human stick figure clip # 3685047”. I licensed the image of the girl’s legs & scooter and the backyard cookout from Alamy.com. Alamy lists the photographer as “Pictures Now”, and date taken as 1955. Alamy also states that this image could have imperfections in either historical or reportage. The burning sun gif was found on the Tenor site, but I could not locate any authorship. The “lonely in June” photo image is by Atharva Tulsi of the Unsplash Photo Community.
The long black and white clip of the moon adventure is from George Melies’s 1902 film “A Trip to the Moon” which is widely regarded as the earliest example of the science fiction film genre and, more generally, as one of the most influential films in cinema history. “A Trip to the Moon” is in the public domain. The final photo of the Hale-Bopp comet was taken on April 4, 1997 by E. Kolmhofer, H. Rabb, at the Johannes-Keppler-Observatory in Linz Austria. I am also indebted to Susan Omand for her article about how the moon has been depicted in art through the ages, at https://www.albiemedia.com/2019/07/moon-day-moon-in-ten-paintings.html
