About

Later to become the third verse of the song The Happening, The Thing takes us on a surreal journey alongside the narrator, who while driving hears in the radio that aliens had landed on Las Vegas and are being interviewed by late 1980’s / early 90’s Las Vegas' radio personality Bill Goodman.

The Thing Lyrics

I was driving doing nothing
On the shores of Great Salt Lake
When they put it on the air
I put it in the hammer lane

I soon forgot myself
And I forgot about the brake
I forgot about all laws
And I forgot about the rain

They were talking on the 9
And all across the amy band
Across the road they were turning around
And headed south with me

It got so crowded on the road
I started driving in the sand
My head was feeling scared
But my heart was feeling free

The desert turned to mud
It seems that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering
To forget they had the chills

And I heard the voices on a broadcast
From up on the bird
They were getting interviewed
By some good man whose name was Bill

I'm almost there to Vegas
Where they're putting on a show
They've come so far, I've lived this long
At least I must just go and say hello
