Greetings Scholarly Workers!
 
I guess you do learn something new every day. In a classic case of mis-heard lyrics, I thought this term was 'Anthropodosphere' and read it as a reference to the earth, as a sphere inhabited and dominated by creatures roughly resembling human beings. I'm intrigued by the reference to Andropov, and fear now I have probably misunderstood this song from the get-go. Time to give it another listen.

It's "Andropovosphere" and it refers to a Yuri Andropov, very briefly the 
leader of the Soviet Union in the 1980s prior to the Glasnost of Gorbachev 
and the collapse of communist rule. As I recall, Andropov was very 
reclusive and very possibly murdered, given the length of his tenure.
