Ron, This song is incredibly catchy. The lyrics seem to be a reference to the upcoming release of UFO information soon in U.S.A. The sound is a bit Beach Boys-esque. The vocals are fantastic. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

You should have been a powerpop star in the 80s. Clever and amusing lyrics. A good song to be on the X-Files soundtrack. Another catchy chorus in a superb production. Again, those BGVs are so delightful to my ears.

Thanx Chay. I have had many days like you had on your birthday. It can get very frustrating can't it!

Thanx so much Janice and Bud for this wonder review. PS - thanx for mentioning Scenic Relaxation. I had not heard of that one. I love that genre so I pinned it to my taskbar.

Thank you so much, Noel! It's the sampling, arranging and mixing I find most fulfilling after first being satisfied with a chord structure, but it doesn't always work as hoped and just recently I had to scrap an entire project I'd been working on for days!

Marty, thanx for this wonderful review. I'm glad you liked that trumpet, an instrument that I used to play, and the guitar, an instrument I'm still trying to play. I'm glad that you liked it.

Thank you, Shigeki! I also didn't think it would work when first converting the original song, "Venus Twinkles [Lady of Love]" but I was super-pleased when it did, plus Lucy singing this version in a higher voice really took the idea to a new level.

Thanx so much Shigeki. Although I have been using MIDI since the mid 1980s I'm no means a master. Just a musician whom loves to play.
