Great tune. That reminds me of a story...
I was in Italy several year back, looking for early UFO imports. I walked into a small record store in Tusacany and in real bad Italian asked if they had any UFO records. The shop owner shrugged her shoulders and said she never heard of them. I'm thinking, come on, you must have heard of UFO and persisted reasoning she may not have understood my poor Italian. So I continued a little louder and slower and repeated, U..F..O. She still looked puzzled, so I tried one last time almost shouting, U...F...O ! Again no recognition, but she did suggest I write it down, so she gave me a pad and pen, and I wrote, UFO and gave it to her. Immediately a look joy and recognition overcame her face as she excitedly exclaimed...
"Ah! Si we have Ufo, Ufo is very good!" Then she proceed to lead me to a vinyl of "No Heavy Petting".
I pronounced it as an abbreviation, she understood the band's name as a full word. We had a good laugh.
