Science Fiction Mix
1. “Flying Saucer” -- Brave Combo. A novelty song that actually manages to make the quest to see an actual UFO seem downright poetic if not philosophical.
2. “Galaxy Song” -- Monty Python's Flying Circus. Speaking of philosophy...
3. “Mr. Spaceman” --- The Byrds. Long before the advent of Mulder and Scully, the Byrds were producing their musical take on the whole UFO phenomenon with a tune that doesn't sound all that dated.
4. “Planet Claire” -- The B-52s. Everyone's favorite New Wave group has fun with sci fi.
5. “Space Cowboy” -- Steve Miller Band. A song from the late 1960s that has no relation to a certain Clint Eastwood movie with a similar title. Bet you weren't ready for that.
6. “Space Oddity” -- David Bowie. Apparently a lot of people in the late 1960s were thinking of outer space. Can't imagine why. That moon landing, perhaps?
7. “The Martian Boogie” -- Brownsville Station. A not so serious take on the whole alien encounter theme. Fortunately, there was no follow-up about the Venusian Hustle.
8. “They're Here” -- Boots Walker. A song about paranormal paranoia that you can dance to.
9. “U.F.O. Attack” -- The Asylum Street Spankers. A Texas group comes up with almost every sci-fi cliché you can think of--as well as a few you would rather not have thought of.
10. “X-Files Theme (DADO Paranormal Activity Mix)” -- DJ Dado. The best of the many tunes that were allegedly inspired by the X-Files TV series. Its one line (“Do you really want to know?”) is probably the most serious question raised by a sci-fi song to date.

Hey - since you're into UFOs, have you seen this Roswell video?
www.flownetworkproductions.com/evidenceofaliens.htm I thought it was fake until I watched Part 2. What do you think?
I'm not really into UFOs. I just like songs about them.
