Cute Old Song About Politicians and Martians
It makes you giggle. The artist, Mollie Thompson. The album, From Worlds Afar. The backstory, according to this dude (I think?) is as follows.
“From Worlds Afar is a lovely album of simple country-folky tunes by a woman from Stockport in the UK, just her on acoustic guitar and the occasional tambourine, singing about UFOs and aliens. But they aren’t mean abducting, anal-probing or cattle-mutilating aliens, they are benevolent wise beautiful aliens in one-piece silver suits, offering us a chance of a better future if we only stop fighting wars etc. The music is gentle and optimistic, and funny … it’s a private pressing (essentially a DIY project) from some time in the 1960s.”
