There is an assortment of weird creatures such as Warren Zevon‘s Werewolves Of London, Little Blue Man (Petula Clark) and the Big Bopper‘s novelty The Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor. Popular film ET is represented by Neil Diamond‘s brilliant Heartlight while Van McCoy puts a disco edge to Star Wars: The Next Generation. A curiosity is Two Little Men In A Flying Saucer from the legendary Ella FItzgerald.
