Fun Facts:
This tune was inspired by the movie The Man Who Fell to Earth, starring David Bowie.
Originally there were some lyrics, although these were quickly abandoned due to being too silly.
This tune was jammed in the attic of The King's School, Ottery St Mary, where the French assistants did their special lessons.
This jamming took place during the school Project Week of 1982 while the performance of Everyone was being rehearsed.
The glissando guitar was created using a long thin screwdriver with a transluscent yellow handle.
