It Came Out of the Sky by Viking cowboys

It Came Out of the Sky“ is a song written by John Fogerty that was included on Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 album Willy and the Poor Boys. It was also released as a single in some countries and has appeared on several of the group’s compilation albums. It was included occasionally in the group’s live set even after John Fogerty left the group and the remaining members reformed as Creedence Clearwater Revisited. “It Came Out of the Sky“ is a satirical song and one of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s first forays into political themes.[3] The lyrics describe what happens when an object, presumably a meteorite or flying saucer, falls on the property of a farmer named Jody in Moline, Illinois.[3][4][5][6] Various politicians and other figures attempt to use the incident for their own purposes. Then United States Vice President Spiro Agnew wants to use the incident to impose a tax on Mars.[7] Then Governor of California Ronald Reagan, called “Ronnie the Populist“
