Klaatu is a man like being played by
Michael Rennie is the 1951 sci fi ;classic film "The Day the Earth
Stood Still". Gort is his robot ;guardian who scared the wits out of me as a
kid. Rent it and watch the b/w version, as colorizing isn't as satisfying. Get's
back to the imagination requirement.
The Theramin is used extensively on the
sound track and Bernard Herrmann scored it.
The movie inspired a band that
took the character's name (Klaatu) and made some music in the
70's.

I don't know the "why" part as the
film is far superior entertainment than their music, in my
opinion.
