Aliens Ate My Buick is the third studio album by English new wave/synth-pop musician Thomas Dolby, released in 1988. True to form, as Dolby has never played it safe, he delivered his exuberant, in-your-face third album Aliens Ate My Buick, which blends of funk, jazz, zoot-suit swing, salsa and reggae. In his autobiography The Speed Of Sound, Dolby described it as "a crazy postcard home from a British expat on a debauched visit to Hollywood." The album peaked at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart. The lead single from the album, "Airhead", peaked at number 53. In the US, the album peaked at number 70. In Canada the album reached number 76. Aliens Ate My Buick is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on translucent red coloured vinyl, and includes an insert.
