    Wonderful insight into Space Truckin’ from Ian Paice, nice to hear as always. The Shield is a great song also, those were the days. Cheers.

    Ritchie said that he got the idea for the Space Truckin’ beat from watching the old Batman TV series from the 1960s. Ritchie asked Ian Gillan, rather shyly, if he thought the beat he was working on sounded silly. Gillan said it sounded great. The world was gaga about space at the time. The U.S. had several moon missions starting with the original landing in July 1969. There also was a popular expression at that time in America, “Keep on Truckin’ “, so Gillan conflated those two concepts to come up with the lyrics. In more recent years, Gillan has called the song in some interviews “Space Trucking”, but Paicey is right: it was titled Space Truckin’ (no “g”) at the end, in keeping with the Keep on Truckin’ theme.

    This track is a masterpiece and please don’t forget the human vocal side of things. Ian Gillan was on 🔥 and screaming like his internal organs are coming out.
    Peace
