A clasical tune for the Mars/Alien theme week.
YouTube: The Planets Op.32 Mars: the Bringer of War, live recording 2007
Michael Jackson died. I wonder what I listened first: Beat It with guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen or something by Van Halen self. I guess Jackson was first.
Day 4 of the Mars/Alien theme week brings this Erich von Däniken inspired Frank Zappa song, with George Duke on vocals.
Modern day blues (from 1999) about alien abductions for the Mars/Alien theme week.
Nothing on the YouTube.
This Mars/Alien theme will be a small theme since I already did “Girl from Mars” by Ash and “Life from Mars?” by David Bowie. This Ayreon track has Johan Edlund from Tiamat on vocals.
Let’s do a minitheme once again. Songs about Mars and aliens. Kicking off with Steve Vai.
Made a photo of my own footprints on the beach today, and had to think of this song.
This song is originaly written by Boudleaux Bryant somewhere in the fifties, and covered by many, including Bob Dylan on his album Self Portrait. But those lyrics are still so true:
Why must you always try to make me over ?
Take me as I am or let me go

Listening to Toto these days, love the funky feel in this song. Never knew it was written as a tribute to George Lucas’ film THX 1138.
Misheard lyrics: Sweet Dot Com instead of Sweetheart Come.
