Can you say "Klaatu"?
They were really the Beatles, yeah yeah.
That Klaatu rumor was the greatest hype since "if you play the end grooves on a record backwards, you can hear secret messages like 'Paul is dead."
After you ruined your Lp back-scratching in 1973, maybe you'd buy another one. Record companies were such fun-loving devils.
Canadians John
Woloschuk and Dee Long were Klaatu. They named themselves after an alien in The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Their hit: Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft.
"We are your friends..."
The Carpenters' cover version appears above, mostly because it was a world-wide hit and includes the cheesy disc jockey intro. But Klaatu's original is at the link below. There is also an eight-minute version.
Eight minutes? Take me now, Space Lords.
Dee Long surfaced last year, writing about co-vid for Readers Digest. He lives in a log house in B.C. From the photo below, it looks like he's doing okay on his home planet.
