I got such a swift answere on the Brian Briggs song, that I am going to ask you if you can Identify one that I think is even more obscure. This is a song i once recorded off of KROQ in about 1980 on a rinky-dink fm cassette recorder. Dont think I ever knew who sang it but I have a knack for remembering lyrics.. Can you tell me who it is.

"Look up in the sky, do you see what I see,
look up in the sky, a very eerie glow,
look up in the sky, do you hear what I hear,
Look up in thy sky, its a UFO

UFO, U-F-O

Should we run, or should we hide,
standing here being mystified,
should we try to make them our friends,
is this the beginning, or is it the end?"

Anybody know who this is?

Yes, Blir was kind enough to share it back in June. Here's a repost:

That's amazing... and totally cool, I have not heard that since I was a freshman in highschool...... Thanks for telling and sending..

I have one more like that... I know some words, havent heard it since highschool.. At the time I was under the impression it was by 999, but I cannot find it by them. The name of the song was Visitiors, and the chorus spelled it out -

"V-I-S-I, T-O-R-S.
number one space men"

Do you know that one?
