Gotta love a whistling solo. And the line "I'll be your banana, baby, and you can be my peach" has always been a favourite of mine. Recorded in 1998 by Jonathon Elkins, who also played some sweet-as guitar on the track.

lyrics

Something Strange
By Seamus Anthony Ennis

Open the window open the door,
The sun is shining like it's never shone before.
Don't do your hair,
Don't do your face,
'Cos looks will get you nowhere, babe,
In outer space.
And heaven knows that's what we're spinning in.

Come and walk with me down on the beach.
I'll be your banana, baby,
And you can be my peach.
And I don't think that you should go to work,
Give it a miss,
Stay home and shirk,
'Cos heaven knows you've gotta stop spinning 'round.

And what if one day something strange should come along?
What if all your well-laid plans should all go wrong?
Yes what if something weird should come along:
Like a robot dinosaur,
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Come to kick in your front door?
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Like a UFO's laser-beam,
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Come to infiltrate your dreams?
(Sent by God, sent by God)

Come on now baby let's by a van,
Dump all of this household shit,
And just drive around this land.
And if that van should happen to break down,
We'll just hitchhike to the next town,
And heaven knows our wheels will keep spinning 'round...

'Cos what if one day something strange should come along?
What if all your well-laid plans should all go wrong?
Yeah I hope that what if something weird does come along:
Like a robot dinosaur,
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Come to love you - and then love you some more?
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Like a UFO's laser-beam,
(Sent by God, sent by God)
Come to heal you in your sleep?
(Sent by God, sent by God)
