X-Files: Firecracker

I think my old tooth fillings are playing music early in the morning - or I’m super sensitive and I am picking up signals and "hearing" information during satellite transmissions.

I woke one morning with this musical riff playing over in my head - and all I could do was sing it best I could into my voice recorder...
Yea I know it's bad.

My family hated it especially the girls when I sent it to their phones. It was all I could do to get it out of my head.  That was December 5, 2010.

This morning, I was going through my ritual of listening to music while I read and this song came on the Music channel's classic rhythm and blues station...

This time I heard the riff played professionally - it is from the song called "Firecracker" by Mass Production.

In this film "Contact" starring Jodie Foster, her character was a scientist in Search of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and she would listen to space'. She found "life" and they sent back a broadcast transmission of Adolf Hitler speaking at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Embedded in the transmission was a schematic of vehicle that enabled Jodie to travel 26 light-years from Earth to this place called Vega. Long story, short a multi-billionaire built one and she went. It was an 18-hour trip that only took a few earth minutes round-trip...

Now I don't know if anyone sent me anything - and if they did why would they want to send me "Firecracker" by Mass Production.

I don't even like the song - but that riff - mph, that riff is kind of hot! If I still produced music I would definitely sample that riff...~Mel
