One of my favourite singles of the 60's is Telstar by The Tornados which was a number 1 in both the UK and USA. I did a bit of researching and found out that one of the original members of this group was a certain George Bellamy who is the father of Muse's leader Matt!

Telstar is a great song, apparently Matt heard it millions of times growing up but only really appreciated it later on. The epic Knights of Cydonia begins as a kind of tribute to Telstar before wandering off into space cowboy territory and finishing with an epic mosh. The video is fab, see how many film references you can spot...

No I hadn't but although I love OMD,the original tune is just one of a kind.

I always thought Muse sounded a bit Joe Meek-y. If he were around today he'd surely have worked with the band.
I'd love to hear a Muse version of 'Telstar', I like to imagine they could give the original a run for it's money. OMD do a great version, it's piece of music you can tell they listened to a lot, it fits their style so well.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
