Trivia/Info

  • Described on the Earwax podcast as a "funky sci-fi song, sort of like a reverse Voyager record meets War of the Worlds, like it's a warning message for us being invaded by aliens".
  • On the previously-mentioned podcast, John Linnell defines the sound of this song as a "white version" of Afrofuturism, a creative movement that uses science fiction to reimagine Black identity.
"It's basically KC and the Sunshine Band much more than Parliament-Funkadelic, I think, speaking as a white man. [...] It's kind of a pun, I guess, involved, and that's pretty much the germ of the song, but I salute the Afrofuturists. Even though I'm not in the spaceship, I watch it from the ground."
