1975 comedy album by the Firesign Theater, later turned into a 45-minute movie. New Age guru Happy Harry Cox, broadcasting from his home in a nudist trailer park, begins to suspect that the aliens really have arrived this time and are alienating us by feeding us blue moss. Features some of the funniest bits and most memorable characters the FST's ever produced. Curently available on VHS, though the album itself remains out of print.

"Is this beating and clubbing part of the dance?"
"Well, yes and no, Bob."
