Something Went Down 03:01
lyrics
It was a silent night, and all was quiet In 1980 it was Christmastime Three officers saw some strange bright lights And they chased it around the forest all night Something went down Something went down Eight miles east of Ipswich town Something went down The very next night on the air force base The shift commander saw something strange She went into shock, had to take her away They say she’s never gonna be the same Something went down Something went down Eight miles east of Ipswich town Something went down Five bright lights in the winter sky A glowing red orb with a winking eye A laser beam shone at my feet Something zipped across the radar screen Something went down Something went down Left it’s footprints on the ground Something went down Something went down Eight miles east of Ipswich town Something went down

about

Check out the far-out official Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SnAsFuH-dw

“It has five of the five elements I look for in music, not unlike my five essential audio/video food groups. Those include Blondes, Martians, hooks, melodies and Willie & the Hand Jive, among others. Baglio barada nikto!” - Bill Kelly’s Blackhole Bandstand in Little Steven’s Underground Garage

"“Set your phasers to stun” and crank this one up. Loud. Repeatedly." - The Secret Weapon Radio Show, Woody Radio

“Killer track, perfectly paired with the previous gem "Space Cadette". Sal is consistently cool, and Jen D makes any song better. The video is hilarious and a love letter to 50's SF movies. Expect to see this on many year-end "best of" lists.” - Dr Bristol

"Sal Baglio and Jen D'Angora have been involved in some of the best Boston bands from back in the day as well as the present. That's the great thing about it, they both continue to be active in the "scene" and crank out fantastic music!! It's only fitting that Sal and Jen get together on this newest hit single by The Amplifier Heads called "Something Went Down"!!" - Skybar Rising

"Always great news concerning any developments with The Amplifier Heads. It’s a spaced out sonic spectacular with an outta this world sax supernova! Love Jen’s vocals!!" - Rock Never Rusts

"With a video showing features from 50c or 60s c- (scifi) movies The Amplifier Heads go for it with Jen D'Angora going at it as guest singer. The song musically is from the same era, except for the much bigger sound. Something which is within reach for any band nowadays. Even by a more obscure one like The Amplifier Heads. Musically, you have to think of a song like 'Not Fade Away', that most people will associate with The Rolling Stones thanks to any greatest hits compilation including the band's earliest career. It is originally a Buddy Holly track. Something Went Down has that exact same rhythm. The Amplifier Heads are able to make much more of the rhythm in the 2020s, pulling rock and roll into the 21st century. By inviting Jen D'Angora, the band has a great singer up front, who sang on one of the best tracks released in 2023, 'Takes One To Know One' as well. This combination works really well, excitement without going berserk. It is enough to get me moving." - WoNo Blog

"Something Went Down" along with last year's out of this world smash "Space Cadette" taken from the forthcoming and highly anticipated 2024 full length release 'They Came To Rock' from The Amplifier Heads. Featuring Sal Baglio along with a cast of very special out of this world guests including: Jen D'Angora, Barrence Whitfield, Dan Kopko, Allen Estes, Samantha Goddess, Brad Hallen, Dave Mattacks, Richard Hilton, and many many more to be announced. Produced & Arranged by Sal Baglio. Executive Producer Norty Cohen.

"Something Went Down" is about the most famous UFO event in England's history - Rendlesham Forest which happened at Christmas 1980: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident
