DAVE HOOK MOON HOAX SONGNow it all started back in '62
JFK told the people what he would do
Put a man on the moon by decade's end
Land him safe and bring him home again
Now he was a great speaker we all know
And he even banged Marilyn Monroe
But he was also just a politician
And Jack "knew Jack" about any space mission
But now NASA had to get their ass in gear
And suddenly their hearts were full of fear
'cus they were way behind in the space race
And now big mouth Kennedy was setting them all up for disgrace
And their funding stood at a couple BILL
So they would not admit defeat, and never will
And they said:
If we can't make it, then we'll fake it
If we can't do it, then screw it
We'll shoot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page
And we'll shoot it all in black and white
Even though we got a colour camera on the flight
We'll bring jeeps but we'll take no telescopes
We'll shoot some golf balls all around
Then stick a flag into the ground
And that should be enough for the boob-tube-watching dopes
'Cus there's facts about space travel most don't know
That radiation gets more intense the farther out you go
It starts at about a thousand miles out
Go farther than that and you will die there is no doubt
Unless you cover yourself with 4 feet of lead
Any less than that, and brother you'd be dead
But to build a ship like that, why even try?
It would be far too heavy to ever fly
Now Kennedy thought this was plausible
But NASA knew it was impossible
So they said if we can't make it then we'll fake it
If we can't do it, then screw it
We'll shoot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page
And we'll bring spotlights just for fun
Even though the only light source is the sun
But we need them for the pictures we're gonna take
But no photos of stars or other stuff
Some young astronomer may call our bluff
And this can never come out that it's fake
'Cus it's much too dangerous to really go
On live TV? I don't f-ing think so
We'll have to shoot the whole thing in advance
For an unhappy ending we can't take the chance
We'll show them meteors we found on earth if they want proof
When you control the media you control the truth
Full body pictures of Neil Armstrong on the moon: there are only two
Do you realize he's never even granted one single interview?
But these facts don't leave me too surprised
Ask him no questions and he'll tell you no lies
'Cus he knows:
They couldn't make it, so they had to fake it
They couldn't do it, just said 'screw it'
They shot it in the desert on a sound stage
Put it on the TV and the front page
Then sent a satellite feed of their con
To a few on the ground who knew what was going on
And then they beamed it out to all the excited folks
But they were never two hundred & fifty thousand miles away
George Bush says we're going back some day
But the first time around it was a hoax
They slowed the film, and hid the wires
They were very, very clever liars
But the first time around it was a hoax.
