Before starting this thread, I did some searches on Flying Saucer songs, got less than a page, just a few entries, the first being a 1950 recording.
Then I tried UFO Songs, and got 10 pages, too many to check each individual entry for what I was looking for.
Also tried individual titles, of my 2 favorites, "Side," by Travis, and "We're On Our Way" by Chris Hodge, no listings.
I'll start with "Side" by Travis, since it has a music video, unlike "We're on our way" which as far as I know never had a video story to go with it, until someone does one.
I fist saw this one on MTV after getting back home from a passenger train ride, in the summer of 2001, my thinking about being part of the generation that Stanley Kubrick made his 2001: A Space Odyssey for, that would live to see the year 2001.
During the train ride I thought a lot about how things were in reality in 2001 as compared to in the film. First was the Space Shuttle, which was in the film, and also the spaceships without any people on them that have sent back closeup photos of Jupiter and its moons.
The train passed thru one community where Martin Marietta had a plant, and I've heard that Martin Marietta is a conglomerate and space ships are one of their products. In that community, some of the streets were named after the astronauts who died in the 1986 Space Shuttle Explosion.
