The Week contest: Alien Cyrus

This week's question: Miley Cyrus said in an interview she once "made eye contact" with an alien who followed her in a UFO that looked like a "glowing yellow snowplow." She noted that the sighting came after she bought "weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop." If Cyrus were to record a song about this close encounter, what title should she give the track?
