Red Planet Mars
Written: 1980
Writers: David Jenneson, Alan Hovden
Status: Unrecorded and unpublished.
Genre and Style: MegaDeath Rock
Comments: Dave: Delightfully filled with 1950’s paranoia, Red Planet Mars is a flight of dark fancy about a monstrous Martian king who dwells deep beneath the red sands with his vast armies, and whose favorite dish is human flesh. Now you know there’s a link between all those flying saucer reports and all those missing person reports. It’s a good reason not to go out alone after dark. It is the kind of song that Megadeath might do today.
Comments: Al: Another song in which we were way ahead of our time. This could be done by any number of new bands on the scene today that want to scare their fans to death and send them racing to pull their covers over their face and hide!
Like a fairytale
Finally we sail to red planet Mars
They all said we’d find it dead,
No trees, no cars.
But deep below those endless miles
Of blood red sand
They’ve got cities, they’ve got armies
And they’ve got plans
And they’ve got hunger for sweet red human meat
Deep underground the marching sound
Of Martian feet
Red!
Red red red!
Red Planet Mars
Hiding like a monster in the stars.
Red!
World of the dead
Red planet Mars.
Loud voices ring
Hail to the King of Red Planet Mars.
His face is split forehead to lip by a white scar
Our astronauts in a cage for his next meal
The flying saucers spill more humans at his feet
Now you know why they hunt our skies
Those Martian creeps.
Red!
Red red red!
Red Planet Mars
Hiding like a monster in the stars.
Red!
World of the dead
Red planet Mars.
