THE MOONRAKERS
 
 

 

 

Yet another band on the 10th Pebbles album, the Moonrakers featured members of the later band Sugarloaf that had two hit songs in the 1970’s:  Green Eyed Lady (1970) that I simply loved back in my college days (there is a “long version” on their album, as well as the short version that is all they play anymore on the radio); and Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You (1975).  The latter song was aimed at CBS Records (a/k/a Columbia Records) after they turned down Sugarloaf for a recording contract; in retaliation, the band included toward the end of the song the touch tones for an unlisted telephone number at the record company, plus those of a public number at the White House
