E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Question

Song about E.T. from the '80s?

I was born in 1977. Sometime in the '80s my mom bought me a music cassette titled "Party Poppers". It contained songs like "Iko, Iko", "The Bird Dance", "Mahna Mahna" & "E.T. Phone Home." I loved this cassette, but happened to misplace it & I don't have it anymore. Anyway I am trying to find out who did the "E.T. Phone Home" song. They sounded a bit like Boney M but they weren't. The lyrics to the chorus were "E.T. phone home, you're never gonna get back home" Someone else out there is trying to find the same song:

If anyone can help me out I sure would appreciate it. It's definitely from the '80s.

I have the same problem! I misplaced the cassette, too! I'll see if I can help and find the E.T. song. So far no one has posted the correct lyrics or song on the net yet. Do you happen to remember the playlist for the cassette, I'm trying to recreate my own list now. I can't find the song list anywhere. It would be awesome if you can help me figure out what all the songs were. Many Thanks!

Could it be Kitty Terry - "E.T. phone home" you are looking for?
There is another song from the 80's about E.T. I remember well too, that is Buckner & Garcia - "E.T. (I love you)".

Did you ever find this song? Just been singing it to my son and husband and they think I'm mad? Trying to find it prove I'm not.
I seem to recall other lyrics were
Et's mummy wonders where u are
Et's coming but it's very far
Yes it's very far
E T phone home
Never gonna get back home.

My sister had this tape. Think it also had "halfway up the stairs" as well

Found the Party Poppers album photos not the album because it wasn't available. The song is called Extra Terrestrial. It might be originally by the Good Guys. A novelty record.

Did you manage to find out who did the song in the end
I've been looking for it myself since the internet was invented lol

I did read once that Spielberg got the ass and got the song taken off albums that had it ,but I don't know if that's true

And I think the album was called something different in Europe
But had the same songs u mentioned
