The Things We Do For Love vs. Calling Occupants(Of Interplanetary Craft)

Here's a couple of pop songs that brings back memories from my youth. Your fav.

I like 10 CC but that song is not one of my favorites, the refrain is repeated way too many times for me,,,too bad a little more effort and it would have been a very good song.

On the other hand I Love Klaatu, I have all of their albums. And the Carpenters do a good version of this song as well, but I prefer Klaatu's of course.

I went with Klaatu as well, but felt the need to mention that I have the Carpenters' version on 7" vinyl (with the original picture sleeve). However, I felt their version (no matter how much I love Karen) paled in comparison to Klaatu's. Must have been the cheesy effects or something.

^^I just love Karen Carpenter's voice, she can do no wrong in my books Lady. Nice to have another Klaatu fan in the place.

When I find something strange, I'm all over it. Klaatu is right up the weird alley.

You don't see too many bands with songs like "Anus of Uranus".

^^They are unique no denying that...but I never thought they got the attention they deserved.

Were they better known in their homeland?

They're basically unknown in the states.
