His work is described as secretive (hence sub rosa). The song peaked at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977. The song is best known for sparking the rumour that the band was the Beatles in disguise. Two minutes and fifty seconds into the song, a long message in Morse code plays in the background.[2] John Woloschuk, in an article in the fan magazine The Morning Sun, finally provided a translation of the code: "From Alfred, heed thy sharpened ear — A message we do bring — Starship appears upon our sphere — Through London's sky come spring." [3]The harpsichord sound on the song was created by recording a tack piano with the tape recorder running at half-normal speed.[4] Charts
