Here's a very early demo version of Prism's "Spaceship Superstar," courtesy of Jim Vallance's official website.

And an excerpt from his site: http://www.jimvallan...-spaceship.html

This was my first attempt at "Spaceship Superstar". The keyboard sound is David Sinclair's electric harmonium, the same one used on the demo of "Amelia".

Other than the chord structure and melody in the verse, there's little resemblance here to the final version of the song. The first-draft lyric is "environmental" ... in an embarrassing save-the whales kind of way: "Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout it and I just don't understand / How we let the situation get so out of hand / There really ain't no substitute for the fields and the trees / If there were someplace else to go I'd be the first to leave ..."

Admittedly, more than a little lame.

And here's a later demo with several revisions:

By the time I recorded this second demo (lead vocal by Ron Tabak) the lyric had evolved to the final "Science Fiction" draft, give or take a word. I had also added the "Spaceship Superstar" chorus, including the "question-answer" exchange between the lead and backing vocals (this was suggested by Bruce Fairbairn and Lindsay Mitchell, as I recall).

Lindsay also contributed a few lyrics to the song: where I originally had "rocket-powered laser beam guitar", Lindsay suggested "solar-powered".

On this, the second demo, the keyboard sound is no longer a harmonium, but a "Roland EP-10 Combo Piano" borrowed from drum-shop owner Ray Ayotte. The same keyboard was used on the final released recording (played by Graeme Coleman).

The final result, and the polished version most are familiar with, is below.

I looove Katy Perry's official lyric videos. I can't believe that I used to dislike her music so much.
