So what you know:
-The main character is human male, solved many mysterious situations in our solar system, both in spaceships, Mars and on the Moon.
-Terminus the robot was important once.
-Author is not Asimov.
-The title of the book contain the profession of the hero.
-(New:) There are independent stories in the book, more in a second book which got almost the same title.

The questions are the name of the author and title of the books.

Nobody? OK, the connection is musical, and I've mentioned it on these boards at least once.

OK, to make it even clearer, we're talking song lyrics.

Should I post the answer and an easier question? It is soluble via google, incidentally.

Let it sit for a day or so - the thread is perhaps a little tired.

'Starships' by Nicki Minaj. 'Bad bitches' seem to be the hard-to-find thing.

I did think there was a version that had shots from Elite but I can't now find it.

A torture location in one of the best classic (my favourite) sci fi/fantasy films, is now an IKEA store.
Which film am I talking about?
