Thread Name: Flying Saucer/Space Songs
Subject: RE: Flying Saucer/Space Songs
There was one that featured Walter Brennan (who played Grandpappy Amos on the 50s/60s tv show The Real McCoys. He also had countless other roles in many movies). I used to own it on a 45rpm. It was called "Space Mice" and used the technology of the day that enabled us to enjoy Alvin and the Chipmunks for the voices of the space mice who spoke and sang in the song. If I'm not mistaken the flip side was an even more bizarre song called "What Can You Dop With A Thievin' Stranger?" Space Mice would be a challenge to redo from the stage unless you had access to lots of helium.
