This song was group leader Joe Meek's tribute to the keyboard sounds of the day. The track starts with a voiceover: "News Flash; Signals have been received from the Planet Venus these resemble sounds similar to those created by a musical instrument such as an organ so perhaps there is Life on Venus?"
The organ is the main instrument used in the tune with a Guitar solo in the second verse then the organ returns with the accompaniment of a vocal, which is similar to their hit "Telstar." A second Meek example is "Pop Art Goes Mozart." In this track he combines as the title implies the modern beat of a pop tune with the sound of instrument that sounds a bit like a harpsichord.
Other tunes and tracks performed by the Tornados which have the Organ as the main or featured instrument: "Cootenanny," "Costa Monger," "Do you come here often," "Exodus" (almost a standard tune in a band's playlist during the '60s and early '70s), "Globetrottin," "Hot Pot," "Hymn For Teenagers," "Indian Brave," "Jungle Fever," "Locomotion With You," "Monte Carlo," "The Ice Cream Man," "The Scales Of Justice."
