That's something that even goes back to the early day of Rockabilly, I guess there was this tie between lyrics and B-Movies. Billy Lee Riley wrote Flying Saucer Rock n Roll, which was released in '57- it was covered in the 70's by Robert Gordon with Link Wray on guitar - you gotta know who Link Wray is:

Rolling Stone included Link at number 67 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
