Heard this on the in-store sound at the supermarket, yesterday, hadn't heard it in years.

My first concert had a story behind it.
1972, aged a little short of 15, and our National Broadcaster, ABC had a phone-in competition on a Sunday morning.
It was called The Bleeper Competition - they would bleep out a couple of words from a snatch of music.
I heard it as "Me and bleep and a bleep named Boo".
I rang and got through and said "You and dog", and won tickets to the Carpenters at Brisbane's Festival Hall.

The original "Calling Occupants" was from a Canadian progressive rock band who took the name of Klaatu, who was the alien portrayed so wonderfully by Michael Rennie in the iconic film "The Day The Earth Stood Still".
I heard the original first but I like both, and Richard Carpenter's arrangements with it are commendable.
