Little Green Men Song Clips

	Camp Gitchiegoomie, Northwest New Jersey, October 30th, 1938. Several inner-city youngsters and adult counselors are completing a weekend wilderness adventure with a farewell party before returning to their homes. *HALLOWEEN*
While waiting for the camp bus to be repaired, the teens and kids continue their on-going adolescent battle of the sexes. *GIRLS AND BOYS*
	New York newspaper reporter Sally Dunbar suddenly arrives for her interview with the camp's greedy, self-serving manager, Mrs. Kolotsky, and discovers that Ted Connors, her high school sweetheart, is working there as a counselor. *HOW THE HECK ARE YA?*
Ted and Sally reminisce about old times while counselor Ida Rothberg occupies the teens and kids around the campfire with lame stories of gothic fiction. They in turn frighten her with recreations of their favorite movie monsters. *BOOGEY MAN*
	Meanwhile teen campers Carl Bennett and Joan McDoogle share an innocent romantic rendezvous in the empty dining hall. *I WANNA GET MARRIED*
Morty Klein, the bumbling handyman, can't repair the camp bus, so Mrs. Kolotsky, Ted and Ida decide to keep the campers for one more night until a real mechanic can be brought in from a nearby town in the morning. Mrs. Kolotsky offers Sally a bed for the night in the girls' cabin, deftly avoiding the reporter's probing questions. *WHAT'S AN OLD GYPSY TO DO?*
	Morty and Ida try to stop a rowdy pillow fight in the boys' and girls' cabins. *SAY GOODNIGHT*
Ted and Sally's reunion turns romantic with a moonlit walk. *AND IT ALWAYS MADE YOU SMILE*
	Several minutes past eight o'clock, one of the kids turns on the radio in her cabin, searching for the Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy program. She mistakenly finds the Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio drama, and soon everyone truly believes that a Martian invasion force has landed in New Jersey. Unfortunately, Mrs. Kolotsky chooses this moment to don her horrifying disguise as the legendary Gitchiegoomie Goblin, a creature supposedly haunting the local forests, in hopes that by scaring the current campers, rumors about the Goblin will spread widely, the business will go bankrupt and she will be able to buy the land cheaply for herself from the owners.
The counselors and campers flee into the forest after seeing the Goblin. *LITTLE GREEN MEN*
	Morty and Ida desperately cling to each other for safety, fearing that the Martians are surrounding the camp. *I WILL BE YOUR HERO*
When Carl bravely comes to Joan's defense as well, she shares her romantic notions about her ideal man with the young girls. *FOR EVERY GIRL THERE'S ONE GUY*
	After getting everyone back into the dining hall, the adults try again to find reports about the Martian invasion on the radio, only to recognize Orson Welles' booming voice and hear the disclaimer about the program being a work of fiction. However, the teens find the discarded Goblin mask and realize that it was Mrs. Kolotsky who frightened them in the forest. They all decide to turn the tables on her with a Martian-invasion-radio-drama of their own. Thinking she has scared the counselors and campers away, Mrs. Kolotsky celebrates her private victory with a bit too much wine. *NO MORE*
Gullible and drunk, Mrs. Kolotsky believes she is hearing a real radio broadcast when Ted, Sally, Morty and Ida improvise their own Martian invasion report from outside the nearby windows. When the teens and kids arrive disguised as "little green men," Mrs. Kolotsky cracks under their interrogation and confesses all of her despicable deeds. Sally finds undeniable proof in Mrs. Kolotsky's account books, and the adults agree to turn her over to the police in the morning. Everyone excitedly agrees that this was the best Halloween weekend ever!
