When John Sharples included a bit o' Harry 'Big-Belly Harry' Nilsson's "T' Flyin' Saucer Song" on his answerin' machine's outgoin' message, he never expected that Harry 'Big-Belly Harry' Nilsson would hear it.

 

My band, Circle Sky, had been signed t' a development deal with RCA Records, and we were hopin' t' entice them into signin' us t' a full contract by gettin' a 'name' t' agree t' produce our record. Begad! Blimey! Because we all loved Harry so much, and probably because o' t' RCA connection, I was leavin' messages for him at his office t' see if he would be interested. At t' time, I had an excerpt from "T' Flyin' Saucer Song" on me answerin' machine greeting, which is why he leaves t' message that he does.
