I hadn't realised that Jermaine had appeared in a 'music / scifi' spoof type film in 1984; pre-dating Captain EO
(Mods: Please link to previous thread if there is one).
The plot is unusual to say the least
A guitar-shaped spaceship and Robot 1359 (voiced by Peter Cullen), search the universe for the source of rock and roll music. He finds it on Earth. 1359 wakes the crew to visit the planet. A rocket telephone booth lands in the town of Speelburgh and ABCD (pronounced "Absid") (Tom Nolan) with his group of aliens exit. The humanoid aliens force robot 1359 to take the form of a fire hydrant. Only the Sheriff (Ruth Gordon) witnesses their landing, and she becomes obsessed with alien invaders. etc....

Cast and Crew:

The lead singer's (Pia Zadora's) costume at one point in the film seems to be a very early (and cheaper) incarnation of Captain EO's.
Fun to look back on 1980's fashion and hairstyles
