If you don't laugh at this then I suppose you could sit through a Pink Panther film with a totally straight face!

This song is by the great mystery writer and cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes. The line "I dream about Amphibians from outer space" refers to his band. That was it name!

Deep in the desert, where the Great Satan lies
There's a grouping of strange men with wild, staring eyes
They think they're on a mission, but they haven't got lies
So they fuck off back to Memphis with their bovine wives

We ride accoss the desert to a place with no name
(Choir) We keep on grooving! (X2)
A CIA chief and an internet spammer
I've got dem old Roswell blues again, Mama!

Deep in the desert, credibility dies
As the organizers tell us to expect a surprise
But it's just a loony talking madhouse source of flies
Then they spend their time discussing all the government lies

Let's take some time to work out what we're going to scrap, guys
(Choir) We keep on grooving! (X2)
With the mounts of Colorado with his big forward planner
I've got dem old Roswell blues again, Mama!

Deep in the desert the programme's scheduled to start
With some shit about Majestic from that boring, fat fart
Who has just as about as much moral conviction as a tart
If it wasn't so amusing it would break your heart!

Let's hijack a flying saucer, it can take us to the answer
(Choir) We keep on grooving! (X2)
And we take the pilot hostage with an electric banana
I've got dem old Roswell blues again, Mama!

Deep in the desert, I'm feeling so out of place
As the greasy, fat, mad physicist with a sneer on his face
Describes the infinite minutiae of a very dull case
As I daydream about Amphibians from Outer Space

Let's park the flying saucers on the White House lawn
(Choir) We keep on grooving! (X2)
And hit that evil bastard on the head with a spanner
'Cos I've got dem old Roswell bues again, Mama!

When you get over how funny this song is you can see how it relates to a period in Jon Downes' life when he was briefly a UFOlogist. As the song suggests; he very quickly became dissilusioned by it. I strongly recomed his biolgraphy: "Monster Hunter"

Yes a had a right old chuckle at this song and there is nothing wrong in adding a lighter note to a enigma such as Roswell. A sense of humour is always welcomed and laughter as we all know can release healing hormones into the body , it is always good to entertain and embrace good hearted humour.:)

(READER REVIEW).

"There cannot be many people who have been saved from madness and suicide by an interest in cryptozoology. In this
book Jon Downes, head of the world's only organisation for full-time experimental cryptozoology and the nearest thing
we have to a real-life Professor Challenger, gives an account
of his life and investigations. He is frank - often jaw-droppingly so - about his illnesses, alcoholism, failed
relationships, bouts of depression and experiments with drugs."

" But the real heart of the book is his account of how,
after an unhappy time as a mental nurse brought him close to suicide, a childhood interest in known and unknown animals
led him to found the Centre for Fortean Zoology. Since then the CFZ has investigated all kinds of anomalous phenomena, but his defining work has been the hunt for mysterious creatures."


"The book describes studies of everything from the blood-drinking Puerto Rican chupacabra to 'Mish-a-boh-quas the singing mouse'; all the investigations are marked by a serious search for evidence in the field, backed up by a good deal of practical zoological knowledge. In a subject where most of the research seems to take place on the Internet, Jon Downes deserves a good deal of credit for treating cryptozoology as an experimental science."


"The professional appearance of the book (the cover is especially striking) is spoilt by terrible editing; future editions will presumably add an index and contents page. The unified theory of Fortean knowledge that occupies several pages
is a 'theory' only in the Pickwickian sense and belongs in a New Age book, which this emphatically is not. Although it is traditional for Amazon reviewers to give five stars (or else one) I am going to save the fifth star for the second edition, since the book deserves one.":)
