We had just discovered an important note from space
The Martians planned to throw a dance for all the human race

Papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir papa ooh mir mir
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee
I got into my rocket ship to see the Martian Hop
I saw the planet shining red so there I made my stop
But as I opened up the door and climbed the ladder down
I saw the Martians on the floor a-dancin' to this sound
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee

I saw I was the first one there and so I was surprised
To see the Martians twist and stomp before my very eyes
They did the locomotion and the hully-gully too
I couldn't name a single dance the Martians couldn't do
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee

Now right around the stroke of twelve the dance had just begun
They earth kids parked their spaceship down on Mars to have some fun
And so I left my friends, the Martians, stomping on the ground
And even though I'm back on earth I still can hear this sound.
Ee-ee-ee ee-ee the Martian Hop ee-ee-ee ee-ee-ee-ee
(fade out while repeating "papa ooh mir mir")
B-52s?

Nope.

Ah, how soon we forget - it was only about 1 month ago that the joys of "The Martian Hop" (and the lyrics) were brought to the attention of The Thread... course, i think only you (dtravel) and Mynok (who was pleased to have music from home) noticed...

Yup - someone sure did! And, you are correct T. - it was the Neanderthals.

Morning tithe, though there's nothing good about it. I've been told to give up coffee. Image

Nope and I can't really pick up drinking either as I think the boss would take a dim view of a morning Buwieser.[:-]
