Hi Amelia!
I've searched a little bit and found an e-mail address, therefore
I simply asked the guy :-)

Hi!
Just a short question: is the title "Kill Straker!" adapted
from the british TV series "UFO"? Maybe someone of you is even a fan
of this series? :-)
Thanks in advance!

and he replied to me:
----------->
hello,
my name is jack straker of beachbuggy!
yeah, there is an episode of ufo called 'kill straker!'
and since share the name it seemed appropriate to write a song
with that title.
a fan of the series? you bet! I have all the episodes on video . . . .
thanks . . . jack

So maybe I should join him to our group? :-)
