Boy! I certainly forgot about Klaatu (got their name from an alien in a Sci-Fi movie) that supposedly some people thought were actually the Beatles … the subject of the March 18th, 1977 R&R article.

A Beatle copy-cat band, more bubble gum than most Beatle tunes. Had they mentioned London on their mind, instead of California, they might fool a person.
I was very skeptical when that rumor came out. They do sound a little bit like the fabs. But if you listening closely, you can tell it,s not them. They were a little bit bubblegummish and un 70,s Beatle like. Coincidentally, I have been reading back issues of Billboard and there is a big article about that.
Forgive me. I still love the Electric Weenie. It helps me come up with new Dad Jokes.
