Skip Stanley
Satellite Baby -(Skip Stanley; Arranged by Ralph Stein)
Spotlight 399 >P< 1956
Three seconds, two seconds, one second, blast off
Satellite baby, come on back down to earth
Satellite baby, come on back down to earth
Radioactive daddy's found out what you are worth
Nuclear baby, you don't fission out on me
Nuclear baby, you don't fission out on me
Geiger Counter daddy loves your atomic energy
Ye-e-ess we're gonna rock it, rock it
Rock it around that moon tonight
Rock it to our heart's delight
Rock it little baby by the bright moonlight
Until the earth is out of sight
We're gonna rock it daddy, take your satellite!
Interplanetary mama, blast off from that galaxy
Interplanetary mama, shoot your radar beam to me
I'll love you a million light years, baby
Ye-e-ess we're gonna rock it, rock it
Rocket around Mars tonight
Rock it to our heart's delight
Rocket by canals in the bright red light
We're gonna rock it tonight, daddy's favorite satellite
Satellite baby, come on back down to earth
Satellite baby, come on back down to earth
Isotopic daddy's found out what you are worth
Nicht genug, daß diese Platte von Soundeffekten aus einer anderen Welt durchwoben ist, sie hat auch noch Lyrics, die massiv auf die Ohren schlagen: "Nuclear baby, don’t fission out on me" und "Geiger counter daddy loves your atomic energy" sind nur ein paar Beispiele. Die B-Seite dieses Meisterwerks präsentierte das eher irdische Stück Play Me A Love Song. Stanley nahm überdies noch eine etwas weniger kantige Version von Satellite Baby für das Satellite-Label auf (SX-92). 'Billboard' bedachte die Nummer in einer Ausgabe vom Dezember 1957 mit einer vernichtenden Kritik.
Über Skip Stanley, einen obskuren Musiker aus Memphis, dessen Geburtsname Stanley J. Hoffman lautete, weiß man herzlich wenig.
