Halloween Countdown 2015 with Karen Carpenter

Close encounters of the third kind are scary, especially since those who claim to have been abducted by aliens from another world usually tell us they were given rectal probes. Were the aliens, perhaps, searching for their brains?

The Carpenters -- Karen and Richard -- knew the aliens just want to be close to you. The song, written by Klaatu a year earlier, was covered by The Carpenters in 1977. I'm pretty sure Klaatu is of this planet, but who knows?

Enjoy this song and video as Halloween Countdown continues into its final week. Note the Phil Spector influence, especially toward the end.

Watch the skies this Halloween!
