This song (released in 1977) is literally note for note the same as the Klaatu version that came out just the year before (1976). Since the Carpenters were much more famous than Klaatu at the time, my guess is Karen and Richard loved the song and so decided to give it much more exposure for Klaatu's benefit. It would have been something noble and in line with their kind characters.
3:35 are those verses original I've heard the version by the original artist yet that verse isn't it (unless the song was edited for that video, I HATE when they do that)
@Disneydanny It is an edited video, as you surmised (and expressed displeasure about). There is an awfully long intro about a radio DJ taking a request from a UFO (I always thought that part was annoying).. its kind of cheesy and certainly doesn't fit in the space adventure.
@FelixDeKat777 I couldnt have said it better myself.

is there a bit in this song that has an alien voice saying 'we are entering your earth'?
i heard this song on a jukebox and it said this on it but it doesn't say it on your video?
