Great job, Hook. I like the way you did the narration. This must be the third song with narration that's been posted recently, and they've all been great. Love the singing too. Quite a rocker for a uke song.
I saw Brownsville Station back in the seventies. If I remember right, they opened for Johnny Winter. The only song I ever knew of theirs (back then and even now) is "Smokin' in the Boys Room". That's probably true for most people, which makes them a bit of a one-hit wonder. Although, Wikipedia says they had a total of seven singles that charted in the Billboard Hot 100. But "Smokin' in the Boys Room" was the only one that did well.

A rocking, good tune! Simplistic yet highly entertaining.
Was that a coffee-cup-shaped flying saucer I saw hovering over your neighborhood last night?
They're probably going to sue you for ALIENation of affliction. Whatever that is...
Well done!

Never heard this before either, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening your version, Hook! Love the uke, and your vocal is really driving it. Very well performed, and well-suggested too.

LOL! This worked out good with the uke. Those slowed down delayed bits is a nice touch. Your voice comes through very well with enthusiasm and the martian parts were great. Not an easy one to get, but you pulled it off nicely. I've heard only one band do this cover at an 80's bottle club one night, beside Brownsville Station, they sounded great. Now with this it's gonna be a classic on the uke. Thanks! Enjoyed every second.

I remember when I suggested this that you could pull it off. Great cover Hook.
I had to go listen to the original. I have that 45 vinyl copy.
