The Buchanan Brothers [1947]: (You Got To Pray To The Lord) When You See Those Flying Saucers:
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
It’s a sign there’s no doubt of the trouble that’s about
So I say my friends you’d better start to pray
They’re a terrifying sight as they fly on day and night
It’s a warning that we’d better mend our ways
You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the Judgment Day
One the things that makes this track notable is the fact that the "flying saucers" have supplanted the atom bomb as a powerful, mysterious force. In this tune, the saucers are "more than atom bombs or falling stars." Is this because by 1947 the novelty of the Bomb had worn off and the unexplained phenomenon of UFO sightings became a better metaphor for songwriters?
Also released in 1947:
