The Stan Laurels

The Stan Laurels are a psychedelic pop/rock band who create lush, rich melodies which are heavily influenced by The Beatles, The Zombies, and The Flaming Lips.

The universe's rockiest roller coaster has ridden at the speed of sound through kaleidoscopic rainbows in the X-Quad-9 Galaxy for seven eternities. On that roller coaster, you will find a smattering of Sasquatch, ring-tailed lemurs, Horatio Spatula (the inventor of the almighty spatula), a couple of Gryphons, David Hasselhoff, and at least one being from the planet Retardiculous, all making sweet love to each other. The younglings that hatch from this pungent love-fest are the songs of The Stan Laurels.

Story behind the song

ABDUCTION

Lyrics

Part III: Inside Klaatu - I am lost; I can't scream.  I forgot how to dream.  Blackness seeps into my veins; cold hate creeps within my brain.

Part II: Taken - I want you to remind me that if my body ever leaves the ground like this, then something's probably amiss, because this gravity thing is pretty strong and it always keeps me ground; I can't get around it.  But somehow I am high in the sky and I don't know why, but I get the feeling I'll be gone for a long time.  So please go see my lovely wife and please tell her that I love her, and I guess you'd better tell her goodbye.

Part I: Pleased to Make Your Acquaintance - A man came up to me and said, "I'd like to buy your planet, kind sir."  I said, "It's not mine to sell, but you're welcome to stay."  He said, "That's OK, I don't like doing business anyway.  I'll just go ahead and take it from you, if that's all right with you."
