Santa and the Satellite

"Santa and the Satellite" was the fifth single released by Buchanan & Goodman, known for their break-in records. Dickie Goodman again supplies most of the dialogue, and features disc jockey Paul Sherman in place of Bill Buchanan.

This single was more of a seasonal take on the "Flying Saucer" records. The United States government tries to save Santa Claus from the spacemen on the satellite. Goodman's character, John Cameron-Cameron, helps Santa escape by disguising himself as Elvis Presley.

The record was moderately successful, peaking at #32 on the Billboard chart in 1957.
