My Little Friend and Me is the theme song to a failed attempt at a movie of the same name in 1988 that was a remake of a Japanese movie roughly translated to the same name made in 1986/87. It's a movie who's plot revolves around a single, long-employed salary-man who's depressed and goes out to drink every night to forget his life. this changes as an alien lands outside his place and makes himself at home in his apartment. The alien then improves his outcomes by teaching him how to enjoy life again and helping him find a woman to love.
Writer Jacob Blume watched the movie in a theater while scouting for movies to bring back to the US for possible conversion to "American tastes." He believed that it would be a hit so much he convinced the studio to build a statue of the alien as a proof of concept (Jacob Blume is in the picture that starts around 1:30). "The part that got me was the party scene. A dance breaks out and spreads to the street. When the police tries to stop it, the alien uses a ray to turn the guy into a buff man in a disco suit and the woman into a go go dancer."
Unfortunately, while in the discussions to get the US rights to the film and scripts, a fire broke out at the Japanese studio. The film, scripts and many of the promotional materials were destroyed. One of the few things that survived was the pic with the male actor and the puppet that appears in the beginning.
