Today, we go back to when I was VERY little with The Carpenters’ version of “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft”, originally released by them in September 1977 (I was only 7 months old), and is in fact a cover from a song by Klaatu which was used by the pirate radio station Radio Caroline as an opening song for their midnight transmissions – Thanks Wikipedia.  The original is not a bad version, but I prefer The Carpenters cover, especially with the All Hit Radio intro.<\/p>\n

I vaguely remember first listening to this one night in the 80s when my Dad put it on, and I’ve loved it ever since.<\/p>\n

Enjoy this, the recognized Anthem of World Contact Day.<\/p>\n

Hey babe, what would you like to hear?<\/p>\n
