    "comment": "1976 Canadian prog -- later covered by The Carpenters! -- https://kexp.org/50\n\nThe famous pirate radio station Radio Caroline used to open their nighttime broadcasts with this song!  According to John Woloschuk for Klatuu:\n\"The idea for this track was suggested by an actual event that is described in The Flying Saucer Reader, a book by Jay David published in 1967. In March 1953 an organization known as the \"International Flying Saucer Bureau\" sent a bulletin to all its members urging them to participate in an experiment termed \"World Contact Day\" whereby, at a predetermined date and time, they would attempt to collectively send out a telepathic message to visitors from outer space. The message began with the words...\"Calling occupants of interplanetary craft!\"\"",
