Lucia Pamela has a lot of incredible claims to her name. She won beauty pageants. She lead the world's first all female orchestra. She holds a world record for memorizing ten thousand songs. Oh and did we mention that she's been to space and hung out with moon chickens?
Whether or not (cough) that last claim is entirely true, there is most definitely a record of Pamela's lunar travels: the joyously eccentric Into Outer Space With Lucia Pamela, from which we have pulled the track 'Walking on the Moon' for today's Best Song Ever.
The record is somewhere between a children's song cycle and a travel diary. Reportedly Pamela played all of the instruments and of course belted out the tales of her lunar voyages. And what voyages they are! Pamela's moon is populated by alien dogs, cows and chickens. She was quoted in an interview with the New York Press stating 'All of the music is true...most of it is from experience.'
The final unfinished step in this lunar odyssey would have been a theme park with a roller coaster that went to the moon. Sadly for everyone, work was never completed on the project.
