The Carpenters cover of Klaatu's "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day)" may not be the first thing you think of when remembering the The Carpenters, however, that may change after watching this video!
I'm not sure when World Contact Day is taking place, but I think the odds are pretty good that the interplanetary craft may just turn around and head to the next planet after a couple of minutes after making contact on this one. Too negative for you? Perhaps I'm just seeing our planet as half full today.
Bonus Video: Klaatu's original track...

Here's a bizarre coincidence.
Had a look for the name Klaatu on Wikipedia. Knew I'd heard it before somewhere.
Yes, character from the 50's movie The Day The Earth Stood Still.
But, in the film, the alien Klaatu "goes out to meet the common people, using the surname Carpenter as a pseudonym".
