Actually, this song came from the title, which was recommended by Dave's brother Ed (i.e. "you guys should name a song 'aliens ate my buick'"). Apparently he had sent an email with that line in the subject line and thought it was funny. So we took it an ran as far as we could with it.
Good thing for us, because of the wierd title, this song netted us 2000 downloads on mp3.com when there was one, and it popped up all over the web.
Turns out there was a album with the same title done in the 1970's or something. We're gonna try to get a copy.

Last night, I had a little incident,
out on the freeway,
I'll never see the same
Oh, no, no.
Last night, just a normal evening,
out on the freeway,
I'll never be the same
Oh, no, no.
Bright lights, coming down on top of me,
out on the freeway,
A big ship I'd say
Oh, no, no.
Landing, I'm running out of the car,
Watch from the freeway,
As they eat my buick
Oh, no, no! No No No No...
I ask "Who are you?"
He said, "Phil, Phil, My name is Phil, Phil"
I said "What is that?"
He said, "Phil, Phil, My name is Phil, Phil"
I stare in disbelief,
He said, "Phil, Phil, My name is Phil, Phil"
And now I can't drive home 'cos
They ate my car, Ate my Buick
How will I tell, Tell my wife -
All I have left are my keys.
All I have left are my keys.
I watch, they seem to be ignoring me
They keep on eating, hand to mouth, my car
Oh, no, no.
I stare, ogling at these aliens
Out on the freeway, they're drinking gasoline
Oh, no, no.
I glare, they finish and load up the ship
Did not even thank me, They can't get away
Oh, no, no.
I swear, they left me nothing to show
But for my keys, they ate my buick
Oh, no, no. No no no nooo...
And I wonder how unusual experience such as this,
Must be so, sooo bizarre,
And it sticks out like a sore thumb,
Impossible such as this,
How will I tell the guys?
They ate my car, Ate my Buick
How will I tell, Tell my wife -
All I have left are my keys.
All I have left are my keys.
All I have left are my keys.
All I have left are my keys.
