Klaatu - Klaatu Klaatu was a Canadian rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their first eponymously-titled album had a Beatlesque sound, particularly in the song "Sub Rosa Subway", but contained no biographical material, thus inspiring a rumor that the album was an anonymous project by the Beatles. Their song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", recorded on their first album, was covered by the Carpenters in 1977. For more information on the Beatles rumors, see [1] Official Klaatu web site The band takes its name from the name of Michael Rennie's character in the science fiction movie The Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951..
Barada - Sea to execute Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Barada was among the guards on the skiff with the prisoners. When the Rebels suddenly fought their way free, Barada was the first of many of Jabba's underlings to fall to his death into the gaping maw of the hungry Sarlacc. Barada appears in the movie Return of the Jedi. His name is taken from the secret incantation from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still: "Klaatu barada nikto.".

Nixon and visiting West German chancellor Willy Brandt. The Carpenters' popularity often confounded critics.

The recording industry, however, bestowed awards on the duo, who won three Grammy Awards during their career (including Best New Artist, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo, Group, or Chorus, for "Close to You" in 1970; and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group for.

Paul Is Dead - Magical Mystery Tour album cover has Paul wearing a black carnation (the only Beatle to do so), another indication of death. The color booklet of the Magical Mystery Tour album has a photo from the movie with Paul dressed as an Army Sergeant with a card on his desk that says "I WAS" (indicating that the man WAS Paul). On the back cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band McCartney is facing backwards, which is supposedly because he was dead and replaced with an imposter in the photograph. (In reality, McCartney could not make the photo session and road manager Mal Evans stood in for him). According to hoax-believers, the back cover of Abbey Road is a representation of Paul's funeral procession. Lennon is the clergyman or priest (dressed in.
