His Martian Flying Cobra by Maurice and the Beejays Maurice and the Beejays : His Martian Flying Cobra.
 Music for imaginary films and television shows.

After the critically acclaimed but financially disastrous "Robison Crusoe on Mars" ( Byron Haskins 1964) Paramount Pictures pulled the plug on the planned follow up "His Martian Flying Cobra". Screenwriter John C. Higgins (Murder Man, T-men, Daughters of Satan) with Robert A. Heinlein (Stranger in a strange land et al) acting in an advisory role had been developing the screenplay from an idea by Haskins. Needing a cheaper writer Haskins, on a recommendation by Heinlein, approached Phillip K. Dick to complete the script. Dick agreed but felt that the scope of the original sci-fi detective story was too narrow and wanted to draw out the parallels he felt where implied in the story between organised religion and big business. Haskins could not disagree more and the project was abandoned, after several arguments, shortly before the publication of Dick's "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" (Doubleday November '64)

"His Martian Flying Cobra" story outline. Everyone knew that when the Owl of Love dropped his seed in the Great Ocean the water boiled and all of life was thrown up fully formed onto the land. So when Mars Kobra, a university reader in religious studies, discovers ancient texts describing the colonisation of Mars by people of the third planet (Arth ) he decides not to publish his findings for fear of being branded a heretic by The Council. Unknown to Kobra the Religious Opportunities Department of Omnifroot had been monitoring his research and the monthly download from his computer reveal his discoveries to the company. Omnifroot where diverting free water into a vast network of underground reservoirs undercover of outwardly environmentally friendly mining operations. They decide that Kobra is to be martyred in the name of The Arthian Herecy fomenting civil unrest and the decline of The Council and their warrior monk henchmen leaving the planet to be enjoyed by select Omnifroot employees.
