Listen/purchase: George and the Space People by Jackass Penguins

This song was originally envisioned to have more layers to it. There may still be a version somewhere with multiple clarinet overdubs, but our recording equipment was so crappy that it sounded terrible. This is just the base track, and it was ultimately included on the Mental Holiday album. The song is about the legendary George Van Tassel who claimed to be visited by aliens and rode a flying saucer. He built the Integratron himself, but died before it could be completely finished. More recently, the building was used for the music video for “Honestly” by Zwan.

Lyrics:

Gather ‘round the Integratron
Summon all to Giant Rock
Take a ride inside their ship
George and the Space People trip
Deep in thought George and his team
Find ways to live out their dream
Profound truth, inquiring minds
If it benefits mankind
Religion and science merged
Vibratory auras purged
Under stars and hellish heat
Landers opens, Mammons greet
If indeed our faith is wrong
At least it made a new song
