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.
