    There's the song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" from a
    few years back... anyone remember the artist?  (It wasn't popular
    for very long.)

The pop version of the song was done by the Carpenters, however the
original was done by a group called Klaatu.  They've done about 4
albums, mostly filled with combinations of SF, fantasy, and off the
wall themes.  Their first album (the one with Calling Occupants on it)
was heavily SF, but some of the lyrics would be objectionable to the
very pure of heart.  If anyone wants more info on them, send me
private mail.
