Buchanan and Goddman sample earlier product, 1956

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, April 18, 2005, 12:00 AM
HAD ANYONE in the music business wanted to reach Dickie Goodman and Bill Buchanan in early 1956, it was easy. You called their office, which was the pay phone at Hansen's Drug Store, between 4 and 5 p.m.
Almost no one called. There was little reason to reach Buchanan, a 26-year-old music publisher, or Goodman, a 22-year-old NYU dropout. In a town with more struggling songwriters than Checker cabs, they were just two more guys looking for a tune, a hook, an idea, anything that would get them out of Hansen's and onto the radio.
And then they got one: a skit wherein a TV news reporter would cover the landing of a flying saucer - flying saucers were big in 1956 - and ask some questions of the locals, which would be answered with excerpts from various rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues records: Reporter: What would you do if the saucer were to land? Voice of Little Richard: Jump back in the alley! Reporter: And the man with the guitar? Voice of Elvis: Just take a walk down lonely street! Reporter to President: What would you say to the spacemen? Voice of Carl Perkins: Don't you step on my blue suede shoes! With a news anchor named John Cameron Cameron (after the real-life John Cameron Swayze), plus slight variations on all the other real-life names ("Clatters" for "Platters"), it was not comedy for the ages, and for weeks not even the tiniest little independent labels, of which New York had hundreds, would take a flier on "The Flying Saucer.
" So Goodman and Buchanan personally brought their demo to the city's No. 1 rock 'n' roll radio station, WINS, where afternoon jock Jack Lacy gave it a few spins and passed it to night man Alan Freed, the most important rock jock in the city. The next day, as legend has it, Buchanan and Goodman were sitting in the office of George Goldner, a partner in three record labels, when a salesman came in and asked Goldner if he knew anything about a record played the day before on WINS that had crazy stuff about Elvis Presley and spacemen. Legend says Goldner signed Buchanan and Goodman on the spot and gave them their own label, Universe. The legend probably skips a few intermediate steps. But after Goldner pressed up the first 2,000 45s and 78s, someone realized a Universe label already existed. So Goldner, Buchanan, Goodman and several staffers spent a night manually adding an "L" to each label, shifting "The Flying Saucer," parts I and II, to the Luniverse label. Their work was not in vain. By the middle of August, the record had sold 500,000 copies. A month later it had passed a million and hit No.
3 on the Billboard charts. It took off so fast that Billboard joked Buchanan was still taking orders on the phone at Hansen's. That was the good part of the response. THE OTHER part included ABC and NBC refusing at first to play the song, solemnly warning that on the radio it could create another panic like that ignited by Orson Welles' 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast. More ominous was the howl of outrage from music publishers and record label owners - demanding cold cash for the 15 songs Buchanan and Goodman had used. Pretty much everyone except John Cameron Swayze eventually filed suit, and rumors circulated for years that when Savoy Records' volatile owner Herman Lubinsky ran into Goodman, he threatened to throttle him. IN FACT, this was not the first time earlier material had been incorporated into a public entertainment product. It had been a common practice on radio back to the 1920s and had been used on film as well. Precedents on record included a Babs Gonzalez hit, "Cool Wailin'.
" But Buchanan and Goodman were the first to use such prominent stars, and they were clearly betting copyright laws were vague enough so they were not vulnerable to the kind of damages their angry compatriots were demanding. If that was the bet, they won it. The case was eventually settled by giving each publisher a penny per disk, a decision that would be cited years later when rap musicians began wholesale "sampling" of earlier works. THE UNSPOKEN secret of the "Flying Saucer" suit, however, was that far from feeling outrage over intellectual property violations, most publishers whose songs were used on "Flying Saucer" happily scarfed up a little windfall. The Penguins' "Earth Angel," a hit in 1954, got such a jolt from "Saucer" that the group, which had since switched labels, re-recorded it and put it out again. Billboard's joke aside, Buchanan and Goodman soon did get themselves an office, right above Hansen's. Even less surprisingly, they immediately started creating more "break-in" records, including a copyright-fees satire titled "Buchanan and Goodman Go On Trial.
" Like most novelty fads, this one had a short shelf life, and within a year Buchanan and Goodman had split, though Goodman recruited WINS jock Paul Sherman and kept putting out records under the "Buchanan and Goodman" name. Goodman kept making break-ins for the rest of his life, scoring a top-five hit in 1975 with "Mr. Jaws.
" He also became president of 20th Century Fox Records. Bill Buchanan eventually left the music business and went into jewelry. SONGBOOK CHALLENGE Today's questeion: What current Broadway show features the songs "Dancing Queen" and "Thank You for the Music"? ANSWER TO LAST QUESTION: Janis Ian.
