WELLS @ Not surprisingly, Mars has also inspired several musical CINEMA & MUSIC compositions. As early as 1901, the American composer Raymond Taylor published a dance piece entitled "A Signal from Mars, March and Two Step." In 1950, George Arnos composed an entire album of "space music" with titles like "Space Alarm," "Ray of Darkness," "Planet 2," and others. In 1972, David Bowie erupted on the rock scene as Ziggy Stardust, starring on the album "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." Who was Ziggy? A high-heeled, spiked-hair invader from Mars. A synthetic messiah, an extraterrestrial come to Earth to play the part of a rock star martyr. But before disco and glitter rock, there was "The Martian Hop," a relatively tame dance tune which was adapted by the French crooner Henri Salvador in 1963, as "Le Martien." And even rebel poet-songwriter Boris Vian dabbled with the theme in 1956, with his "La java martienne." MARS BEI
