Noch ein unlösbares?

Hallo alle,

von mafeu’s Posting inspiriert such ich auch ein Lied, das ich vor langer Zeit mal gehört habe und seitdem nimmer.
Es geht im ganzen stark in die Richtung von Davie Bowie „Space Oddity“. Dabei geht’s auch um den Funkkontakt zu einem Raumschiff. Irgendwie reden die aber über Huston (möglicherweise ist „Hello Huston“ ein Textstück), am Ende wird die Funkverbindung dann immer schwächer, bis sie ganz abreißt. Ich glaub, daß in Huston am Funk (unter anderem?) ne Frau (vermutlich die Frau/Freundin von dem Astronauten) ist. Soweit ich mich erinnern kann, war das nie wirklich in den Charts, aber es kann auch sein, daß ich das nur noch nicht miterlebt hab :wink:
Kann irgendjemand mit diesen spärlichen Angaben was anfangen? Wäre echt fein!

Liebe Grüße

Petzi

Hallo Petzi,

ich denke mal es ist Clouds across the moon von der Rah Band

Hier der Text:

Operator
Good Evening, this is the intergalactic operator, can I help You ?

Mrs Johnson
Yes, I’m trying to reach Flight Commander P. R. Johnson on Mars, Flight 2-4-7

Operator
There well, hold on please — You’re through

Mrs Johnson
Thank You, Operator

Hi, Darling, how You’re doing ?
Hey, Baby, where You sleeping ?
Oh I’m sorry, but I’ve been really missing You
Hi, Darling, how’s the weather ?
Say, Baby, is that cold better now ?
Oh I’m sorry, is there someone there with You ?

Oh since You went away there’s nothing going right
I just can’t sleep alone at night
I’m not ashamed to say I badly need a friend or it’s the end

Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon

  • O Baby - You hurry home to me

Hi, Darling, the kids say they love You
Hey, Baby, is everything fine with You ?
Please forgive me but I’m trying not to cry
Oh, I’ve had a million different offers on the phone
But I just stay right here at home
I don’t think that I can take it anymore
This crazy war !

Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon

  • O Darling - You hurry home to me

Operator
I’m sorry to interrupt Your conversation,
sbut we’re experiencing violent storm conditions in the Asteroid belt at this time,
we may lose this variable deep space communication link,
please be as brief as possible, thank You

Mrs Johnson
Oh since You went away there’s nothing going right
I just can’t sleep alone at night
I’m not ashamed to say I badly need a friend or it’s, it’s …
Hello, Hello, Operator ? — Yes, You seem to have lost the connection, could You try again please ?

Operator
I’m sorry but I’m afraid we have lost contact to Mars 2-4-7 at this time

Mrs Johnson
OK, well thank You very much - I’ll try again next year.
Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon

  • O Baby - You hurry home to me

Operator
This is the intergalactic operator

Mrs Johnson
Now when I look at the Clouds Across the Moon
Here in the night and just hope and pray that soon

  • O Darling - You hurry home to me

Hallo Bernd,

danke für Deinen Tip. Aber das isses leider nich… In „meinem“ spielt die Dame ne eher untergeordnete Rolle, ich glaube sie hört zunächst nur den Funkverkehr mit und mischt sich dann erst als es kritisch wird irgendwie ein. Und das ist auch von der ganzen Stimmung her eher düster.

Trotzdem herzlichen Dank für Deine Antwort!

Petzi

Hallo Petzi,

einen Versuch habe ich aber noch, oder?

Ray Stevens

Virgil And The Moonshot
Well, old Virgil always was a clown,
Dumbest man in our hometown
But somehow he got hired out at the NASA base
Then one day against all the rules
While cleanin’ up a space capsule
He closed the hatch and started playing man in space

He put a space suit on and sat right down
Started flippin’ switches and messin’ around
A siren started blastin’ and a green light was flashin’ ready
Hoses were snappin’ and gas was going whoosh
And Virgil just had to give that button a push
And son-of-a-gun, he was gone like Richard Petty
Vrroom, Oooh…Ma-Maaaaa!!

Chorus Hello Houston we got a problem
Get Gladys on the phone
Somebody tell her where I’m at
And how long I’ll be gone
Remind her she needs to feed my dogs
Milk the cow and slop them hogs
Hello Houston we got a problem
How y’all gonna git’ me back home? Huh?

Well, we saw it right there on TV
My wife, my kids, the dog and me
On a broadcast from outer space on the evening news
Oh, Virgil wasn’t havin’ any fun
He’d run down the batteries in his Star Wars gun
And was turning green in various shades and hues
He said, boys you better get me down quick
'Cause I’m afraid I’m gonna be sick
And I don’t think that I can take much more of this
Lord, all I do is float around
Half the time I think I’m upside down, ya know
I need to throw up but I don’t know where up is!

Bridge Hello redneck one, redneck one, this is mission control
Stand by Virgil we’re about to execute your re-entry…
„Execute me? Lord have mercy
Couldn’t you just dock me a couple of days’ pay?
Ohh, here we go again!“

(Mama plays turnaround)
Chorus Hello Houston we got a problem
I think we got a flat tire
I just looked out that little round window
And the whole capsule’s afire
Everything’s shakin’ and burnin’ hot
If you’re gonna execute me I’d just as soon be shot!
Hello, Houston we got a problem
I’m droppin’ like a fallin’ star

Well, give NASA credit, they got him back
And of course he was immediately sacked
And we were all amazed at the fame Virgil’s ride had brought
But ole Virgil knew just how to work it
‚Cause next thing you know he’s on the talk show circuit
Billin‘ himself as the redneck astronaut

Chorus Hello Oprah, we got a problem
Montel’s on the other phone
Yeah, he wants to book me too
So does 20/20 and Jenny Jones
Now, I’m sure that we can work it out in time
Just have your people talk to mine
Hello Oprah, I gotta go now
Sixty Minutes is on the phone

(Recite during fade) „Hey, Sixty Minutes, yeah! Aw, I’d love to but you know I gotta’ have that first segment-and Mike Wallace has gotta’ host it! Uh-huh, well o.k. Fine then! We’ll give it to DatelineUh-huh, what’s that? Aww, well that’s more like it! Yeah, well I kinda thought you’d see it my way. I mean after all, it does make sense don’t it? Space suit? Yeah, I got a space suit Well, it’s not a real space suit but you can’t tell the difference from three feet away. Gladys made it fer me. Yeah, she’s got one of them sewin’ machines that does all that fancy stuff.“

1 „Gefällt mir“

Fury in the Slaughterhouse - Down there (?) owT
Ist nur meine Vermutung…

Gruß sannah

hey, das Lied ist klasse
Hallo Sannah,

das gefällt mir echt gut, aber das ist nicht das gesuchte *jammer*

Trotzdem vielen Dank :smile:

Petzi

leider auch nicht…
Huhu Bernd,

einen Versuch habe ich aber noch, oder?

beliebig viele :wink: Aber das ist auch schön, nur nicht das was ich suche. Meines ist irgendwie „spaciger“. Leider weiß ich nimmer viel davon, nur eben, daß irgendwo mal das Textstück „hallo Huston“ vorkommt und dann die Funkverbindung in nem Rauschen endet. Und das ist ja nun nicht wirklich viel…

Vielen Dank

Petzi
