Doris Daytheearthstoodstill

For obvious alien reasons, I love this song. And I love this fan video, featuring large swaths of video from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951), which is a masterpiece. Sometimes the soundtrack pierces the music (I don't like that; leave the music alone) but still, it's very well done. I like the dripping-water sound that forms the backing beat.

Future Bible Heroes, "Doris Daytheearthstoodstill"


The girl in the film is Patricia Neal, who also did a slew of commercials for Maxwell House coffee in the 1970s, which I actually remember.

They don't know we're out here
as far as we can tell
Jamming all our senses
with advertising hell
the late-night movie heaven
is accidental, well
details at eleven

Doris Daytheearthstoodstill
the hippest chick on Thurth
Let's live always in the dream
they beam from planet Earth
All our tentacles entwined
snowblind and without sound
Doris Daytheearthstoodstill
you make my world go round

Grow a new antenna
The signals multiply
with ads for soap and henna,
and products we can't buy
And all across the asteroid,
everyone will die
unless we send the gas droid

Doris Daytheearthstoodstill
the hippest chick on Thurth
Let's live always in the dream
they beam from planet Earth
All our tentacles entwined
snowblind and without sound
Doris Daytheearthstoodstill
you make my world go round
