Flying Saucer Music #20
Jimmie Haskell is well known to fans of “lounge” music. He is an Emmy and Grammy award-winning composer and arranger (yes, he’s still alive and with us.) This selection features (once again) aliens who sound like the Chipmunks.
If anyone can send along or point me to a copy of his composition entitled “Hydrazine,” I’d be eternally grateful!

It has always intrigued me how…proceeding from “The Witch Doctor” and the “Purple People Eater” onward…there was such an obsession among many musicians in the 1950s/60s with doing these silly speed-up-the-voices idiocies on records. They are mostly pointless and dumb and half the time I can’t figure out why any record company would waste any time on them. Surely they can’t have been all THAT popular!!!
So, enter conspiracy theory now. Might they have been being subsidized by the CIA? AFOSI? “The Government” in one alphabet combination or another?
What is it they do? In essence they ridicule any serious consideration of UFOs or alien beings. The songs turn “flying saucers” and “little green (or blue) men” into squeaky-voiced silliness. Something to both laugh AT…and laugh OFF.
Might this have been the intent all along? After all, ridicule has always been an effective means of character…or truth…assassination.
Isn’t paranoia fun?
