Content
An elaborate story begins in a small town with a woman entering a local bar “one hip at a time” (suggesting her attractiveness); an initially unidentified married man decides to make advances on her and phones his wife at home to inform her that he is (falsely) working late. Instantly suspecting that he is cheating on her, the jilted wife phones her sister to ask for emotional support. The sister's boyfriend then departs to a nearby convenience store for some alcoholic beverages, but leaves his vehicle running while making his purchases. This, in turn, leads to several teenagers stealing his car and going on a joyride that culminates in a spectacular crash that causes a power outage to the entire town and appears to an observing waitress to be a UFO. The story comes full circle when town officials cannot locate the police chief — who is revealed to be the man at the bar whose attempted adultery triggered the chain of events in the first place.
The moral of the story is that, as stated in the chorus, "when (Earth is) spinning 'round, things come undone/Welcome to Earth, third rock from the Sun."
The radio version omits the vocoded "Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun" intro and outro with police sirens.
Critical reception
Jim Ridley of New Country magazine described the song with favor, saying that the song was "the funniest and most jaw-dropping string of calamaties...since Bo Diddley bungled his way through 'Cops and Robbers'."
Music video
The music video was directed by Roger Pistole and premiered in mid-1994, which uses the album version of the song. It starts and ends with a static slideshow of the Earth's formation with the vocoded intro of the main line of the chorus (it is used again at the end of the song, with police sirens). It then shows Diffie performing with his band in a pub, and by himself on top of a huge globe in a field, while scenes relating to the song's storyline take place.
The dead man from the Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die) video makes a cameo, now propped up beside a liquor store. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
