The Carpenters. Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft.



If I was an alien and heard the subtle lilting tones of Karen Carpenter bounce around the stratosphere, I'd be flagging down the first telerobotic space cab available and begin seeking a new horizon on Earth. We're your friends, Space Dudes.

Thanks Todd and Hart.

The idea for this track was suggested by an actual event that is described in The Flying Saucer Reader, a book by Jay David published in 1967. In March 1953 an organization known as the "International Flying Saucer Bureau" sent a bulletin to all its members urging them to participate in an experiment termed "World Contact Day" whereby, at a predetermined date and time, they would attempt to collectively send out a telepathic message to visitors from outer space. The message began with the words..."Calling occupants of interplanetary craft!"
