Creedence Clearwater Revival, frequently referred to as CCR or simply Creedence, was an American rock band, fronted by John Fogerty. The band started out as The Blue Velvets, formed by John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook in El Cerrito, California in the late 1950s. They were an instrumental trio, however during the early '60's they began backing Tom Fogerty, John's older brother, for school dances at El Cerrito High School, on fraternity house gigs and in the recording studio. By the mid 1960s, the band signed a contract with Fantasy Records which was a local label based in San Francisco at that time. They were attracted to the label because Fantasy had released a national hit by Vince Guaraldi, "Cast Your Fate To The Wind".

It Came Out Of The Sky Lyrics
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldnt blieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground and shook, fearin for his life.
Then he ran all the way to town screamin it came out of the sky.
Well, a crowd gathered round and a scientist said it was marsh gas.
Spiro came and made a speech about raising the mars tax.
The vatican said, woe, the lord has come.
Hollywood rushed out an epic film.
And ronnie the popular said it was a communist plot.
Oh, the newspapers came and made jody a national hero.
Walter and eric said theyd put him on a network t.v. show.
The white house said, put the thing in the blue room.
The vatican said, no, it belongs to rome.
And jody said, its mine and you can have it for seventeen million.
Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldnt blieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground a shakin, fearin for his life.
Then he ran all the way to town screamin it came out of the sky.
Oh!
