The Beatles In Space!

What cracks me up is that Across the Universe is one of John's pure poetry works - isn't narrative in the slightest - and it's what we decide the aliens should hear about us.

Alien: "Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes"? These people are crazy.


Actually, I love this song, it's beautiful.

Perfect. The last thing we need is for whatever alien that finds this to be able to learn one of our languages. With no external context, and no internal context, they'd be pretty hard pressed. Nothing more dangerous than an alien that already knows English.
