While he never had another US hit, he went on to a long career as a Musical prankster in the UK, releasing a lengthy string of novelty Records (including an 'ooga-chaka' cover of 'Hooked On A Feeling' years Before Blue Swede) under a wide variety of studio aliases. He also Discovered (and named) Genesis, but even I don't detest Phil Collins Enough to call that his biggest prank of all. -- AWR

"Everyone's Gone To The Moon" (Jonathan King)

Ebmaj7 Ab Bb [2X] / / / / / / / /

Verse

Streets full of people All alone Roads full of houses Never home Church full of singing Out of tune Fm7 Bb [1,3: Ebmaj7 Ab Bb] [2: Eb; to bridge] Everyone's gone to the moon

Verse

Eyes full of sorrow Never wet Hands full of money All in debt Sun coming out in The middle of June Everyone's gone to the moon

Bridge

Long time ago Life has begun Everyone went to the sun

Verse

Hearts full of motors Painted green Mouths full of chocolate Covered cream Arms that can only Lift a spoon Everyone's gone to the moon

Coda:

Everyone's gone to the moon Fm7 Bb [N.C.] Eb Everyone's gone to the moon
