"What On Earth Are We Going To Do?" was going round and round in my head!

I'd quite forgotten about it and was delighted to discover it again. In 1984, I was working as a clerk for a pneumatics company and I remember me and my colleagues chanting: "Alien Invasion! What on earth are we going to do?" both at work and in the pub afterwards. The things that amused us in those comparatively unsophisticated times!
