For the STS-26 wake ups, Kathy Sullivan did the co-ordinating.  That is,
she had the final say.  The lyrics themselves were written by a Houston
disc jockey and part-time NASA tour guide.  No one is quite sure how Ms.
Sullivan got Robin Williams to do the introductions.

The only idea I have for submitting suggestions would be the Public Affairs
office at JSC.  Or you might try writing a letter to Kathy Sullivan (I don't
know how you would address a letter to an astronaut, although I know they
get letters and read them).
