Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft

I believe that to fully understand the meaning of this song, you must be driving around aimlessly in your beat up `82 Cadillac Eldorado so frigging high out of your mind you may as well be up there with the inhabitants of the interplanetary quite extraordinary craft.

Great song. Anybody have an idea what it's about?

Well at face value it seems undeniably about aliens... they were big back in the 70s. It's a very nice soothing sort of song though.

AND the custom-made Carpenters video - !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teBV0EoJJY8&fbclid=IwAR3u1FpSjHS5BmSCU1WsV4eKEycNR8Oaj_of7EwgDZyDtqMLZym1oJqEBPA

This song is actually based on an incident back on the 15th of March 1953 called World Contact Day on 3pm PST.

It was set up by an Albert K Bender who ran an organization called The International Flying Saucer Bureau that was dedicated to finding out the truth behind 'Flying Saucers'.

The lyrics in this song are actual words that the members were sending out telepathically to the aliens.

After that, Bender claims to have been contacted by aliens who told him to stop trying to discover the truth behind the UFOs.

In the end, Bender shut down the International Flying Saucer Bureau and eventually released a book on it called Flying Saucers and the Three Men. (Who were supposedly the first Men in Black.)

This is a song crafted for occult practices of the darkest form

Or just high on crack.

Or acid.

Or any combination of the above.
