The Special AKA - What I Like Most About You Is Your Girlfriend

You know that feeling when you're certain you've seen something somewhere before but you just cant place it? Its like an itch.  I get a lot of them doing this blog, when a particular space helmet looks familiar and I just can't recall where else I know it from.  Sometimes it takes years and then some friend of this blog casually says; "I think its the same helmet that features in The Special AKA - What I Like Most About You Is Your Girlfriend."  And you want to face-palm, because you must only have watched that video a couple of dozen times, bought the album if featured on back in the day and from a band that was just about your local city's biggest musical export.  Thanks Richard, you are a salve and a star.

And what was the original helmets appearance you ask?  Well scroll down to find out.  There are a few cosmetic differences but its the ear grills that nail it.



 
 


That's right its the "looks like an alien but actually isn't suit" from Doppelganger AKA Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (1969)
 
Lovely.  What a find.
 
Now back to the Special AKA....
