Interesting facts and trivia about It Came Out Of The Sky. By Songfacts®.

This song is a satire in which a space object plummets to earth and triggers overreactions of greed and paranoia in both the California governor's mansion and the White House.

This is told from the perspective of the meteorite: "Don't you know I'm flying tonight," "Gonna hear the sun tonight," etc.

CCR's song "Hey Tonight" was a sequel to this, told from the perspective of the meteorite: "Don't you know I'm flying tonight," "Gonna hear the sun tonight," etc.
