Hi Dan, outta this world makes me smiley smile indeed! Have you seen the movie "Love and Mercy" ..? It's a must for Brian Wilson fans--it cuts between his sixties genius and his Eugene Landy years..it was quite a revelation for me, in terms of how genius is oft times accompanied by psychological problems..thanks again!

Thanks Robert, for listening and "awesome" makes my day!

Hi Nelson, thanks for listening. I always enjoy hearing your take. Banjos do add a bit of a wild feeling, especially fingerpick'd briskly. smile

Hi Ricki, oh the actual punishment is (audible) in the song, but I need to make it clearer..the last half minute or so, he's getting whipped and she's saying "bad Martian" --but it ended up sounding like he's being spanked..so that's even better, lol..
I'm glad you enjoyed it..I'm smiling as I write. smile

Hi Jim, thanks! I thought myself lucky to have thought of this idea first--literalizing that book title..but then I Googled a bit and found a movie with a similar plot made in 1958, the year of my birth, called "Queen of Outer Space" starring Zsa Zsa Gabor..only the Venusian woman take earth men as hostages..I guess I've got a B-Movie soul! Thanks again. smile

Hi Martin, I never would have thought Beach Boys, but you're the second to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by. smile

Hi Travis, Roger Miller, ey? I like the Jim Reeves version better, though Roger Miller is one of my favorite all-time songwriters. "Husbands and Wives" will endure forever, as will "King of the Road." Check out his Mark Twain musical "Big River"--it's really good.

Hi Roger, very nice to meet you, and thanks. smile I'll stay tuned to your work--I've like what I've heard so far.
