About This Song
About "Flying Saucers Rock and Roll (1957)" by Billy Lee Riley
A 1957 rockabilly firecracker, Flying Saucers Rock and Roll finds Billy Lee Riley yelping about alien invaders over a frantic, slapback bass. The song's manic energy mirrors Cold War paranoia, turning sci-fi dread into a sweaty, dancefloor-ready frenzy. Pure, unhinged Sun Records mayhem.
