176			     STAR TREK MUSIC
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both Shatner and Nimoy have  attempted to  sing and  have a  few albums out
(from the early 70s, I believe).   They are  *extremely* bad  and only good
for comic relief.

Nichelle Nichols originally sang the tune Uhura was singing in ST5, but The
Powers That Be decided a few days before  the film  was released  to dub in
Hiroshima singing the song.

The band  T'Pau  (named after  the Vulcan  priestess from  TOS "Amok Time")
claim they are not Star Trek  fans; they  just liked  the name.   DJs enjoy
putting a  few  lines  from "Amok  Time" during  the opening  of their song
"Heart and Soul" (McCoy:  "Do you know who that is?  That's T'Pau!"  T'Pau:
"Thees ees da Voolcan heart; thees ees da Voolcan soul...")

The Minneapolis band (now  based in  New York)  "Information Society" likes
putting Star Trek quotes in their  songs.   "Pure Energy"  had Spock's line
"pure energy" (from "Errand  of Mercy")  in it  (and later  releases of the
song have McCoy saying something like "we're not out of this yet"), "Think"
has Kirk saying "Think about it" (from "Mirror, Mirror"), "Something in the
Air" has a  long scream  (apparently taken  from TOS),  and there's another
song (the name  escapes me)  that has  a line  from Spock,  Scott, or both.
Adam Nimoy (Leonard's son) is a fan and friend of the group.

There were  many  parody  songs  about Star  Trek in  numerous Mad Magazine
issues.

"Theme from Star Trek" (The Original Series)
Lyrics by Gene Roddenberry

     Beyond
          The rim of the star-light
     My love
          Is wand'ring in star-flight
     I know
          He'll find in star-clustered reaches
     Love
          Strange love a star woman teaches.
     I know
          His journey ends never
     His star trek
          Will go on forever.
     But tell him
     While he wanders his starry sea
          Remember, remember me.

"The Goodland"  1:05
from TOS "The Way to Eden"
sung by Adam

     Lookin' for the goodland,
          Goin' astray.
     Don't cry,
          Don't cry.
     Oh I can't have honey
          And I can't have cream
     Goin' live not die,
          Goin' live not die.
     Standin' in the middle of it all one day.
          Look at it shining around me and say.
     I'm here,
          I'm here.
     In the goodland,
          in the new land,
     I'm here.

"Heading Out to Eden" 1:35
from TOS "The Way to Eden"
sung by Adam and blonde female friend

     Heading out to eden,
          Yeah brother.
     Heading out to eden,
          Yeah brother.
     No more trouble
          In my body or my mind.
     Goin' to live like a king
          On whatever I find.
     Eat all the fruit
          And throw away the rind.
     Yeah brother, yeah.

     Steppin' out to eden,
          Yeah brother.
     Steppin' out to eden,
          Yeah brother.
     No more trouble 
          In my body or my mind. 
     Goin' to live like a king 
          On whatever I find. 
     Eat all the fruit 
          And throw away the rind. 
     Yeah brother. 
 
note: The two verses are separated by dialogue.  The first half is sung slow, 
      about 1:05.  The second is sung faster.

"Hey Out There!" 2:35 
from TOS "The Way to Eden" 
sung by Adam and blonde female friend 
 
     I'm talkin' 'bout you, 
          I'm talkin' 'bout me. 
     Long time back when the galaxy was new. 
     Man found out what he had to do. 
     Found he had to eat and he found he had to drink, 
          And a long time later he found he had to think. 
     Yes, think. 

     [I'm standing here wondering -- What?] 
 
     If a man tells another man, 
          How to mow hay.
     He piles up trouble for himself all day. 
     But all kinds of trouble will come to an end. 
     When a man tells another man, 
          Be my friend. 
     My friend. 
 
     [Well what's it going to be?] 
 
     There's a mile wide emptiness, 
          Between you and me. 
     Let's reach across it, 
          *On an even sea.* 
     Someone ought'a take a step, 
          One way or other. 
     Let's say goodbye, 
          Or let's say brother. 
 
     Brother! 
          Brother! 
     Hey out there...
          Hey out there. 
     Hey out there... 
          Hey out there. 
     I see you... 
          I see you. 
     I see you... 
          I see you. 
 
     Let's get together and have some fun. 
 
     [I don't know how to do it, 
          But it's gotta be done.]

"?"
from TOS "Charlie X"?
sung by Uhura

     Now on the Starship Enterprise
     There comes a man in Satan's guise
     Whose devil ears and devil eyes
          Will rip your heart from you ...

     And that's why female astronauts
     Are overcome and overwrought [some uncertainty about 1st part of this line]
     Many a female astronaut...
          They know not what to [he'll?] do.

     Now from a planet out in space
     There comes a lad not commonplace
     Oh, seeking out his first embrace
          He's saving it for you ...

     Oh, Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darling
     Charlie's our new darling, he knows not what to do...
     [Again, some uncertainty about last part of the last line.
      Also, it may "Charlie's our new darling" instead of "is my darling"
      in the previous line.]

"The Friendly Angel Song" 
from TOS "And The Children Shall Lead" 
sung by The Children 

     Hail, hail,
          Fire and snow.
     Call the angel
          We will go.

     Far away.
          For to see.
     Friendly Angel
          Come to me.

     Hail, hail,
          Fire and snow.
     Call the angel
          We must go.

     Far to come
          Far to see
     Friendly Angel
          Come to me.

"Beyond Antares"
from TOS "Conscience of the King"
sung by Uhura
written (I think) by Gene Coon

     The skies are green and glowing
          Where my heart is,
          Where my heart is,
     Where the scented lunar flower is growing,
          Somewhere beyond the stars,
          Beyond Antares.

     I'll be back
          Though it takes forever.
          Forever is just a day.
     Forever is just another journey.
          Tomorrow I'll stop along the way,

     And let the years go fading
          Where my heart is,
          Where my heart is,
     Where my love eternally is waiting,
          Somewhere beyond the stars,
          Beyond Antares.

from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Alexander

     Great pan sounds his horn 
          Marking time to the rhyme
     With his hoof, 
          With his hoof.
     Forward forward in our plan,
          We proceed as we began....

"A Serenade From the Laughing Spaceman"
from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Spock

     Take care young ladies and value your wine.
          Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
     Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs,
          Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs.
          Ah, bitter dregs.

     With smiling words and tender touch,
          Man offers little and asks for so much.
     He loves in the breathless excitement of night,
          Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light.
          Ah, in cold morning light.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(untitled)
from TOS "Plato's Stepchildren"
sung by Kirk (and Spock?)

     I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum.
          We're spacemen marching to and from.
     We slythe among the mimsy troves,
          And tire among the borog[r]oves.

"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"
from TOS "The Naked Time"
sung by Kevin Reiley (calling himself "O'Reiley")
     
     I'll take you home again, Kathleen,
          Across the ocean wild and wide,
     To where your heart has ever been,
          Since first you were my bonnie bride.
     The roses all have left your cheek,
          I've watched them fade away and die;
     Your voice is sad whene'er you speak,
          And tears bedim your loving eyes.

     Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen,
          To where your heart will feel no pain,
     And when the fields are fresh and green,
          I'll take you to your home again.
     (One More Time!!!)

"Banned from Argo"

     When we beamed into Argo 4 in search of R & R
          Our crew set out investigating every joint and bar
     We had high expectations of their hospitality
          But soon found Argo not prepared for spacers such as we

     CHORUS:
     And we're...banned from Argo, every one
          Banned from Argo, just for having a little fun
     We spent a jolly shore leave there of just 3 days or 4
          But Argo doesn't want us anymore

     Our captain's needs were simple but his methods were complex
          He found 5 willing partners, each of a different world and sex
     The shore police were on the way, we had no second chance
          We beamed him up in the nick of time with the remnants of his pants

     CHORUS

     *** disappeared a while in the local **
          Buying a *** guaranteed to cause ***
     She came home with no uniform, and an oddly cheerful heart
          And a painful way of walking with her feet a yard apart

     CHORUS

     Our proper, prim first officer was drugged with something green
          And dragged into an alley where he suffered things obscene
     He sobered up in sickbay and he's none the worse for wear
          Except he somehow taught the ship's computer how to swear

     CHORUS

     Our doctor loves humanity, his private life is quiet
          The shore police arrested him for inciting girls to riot
          (WHAT?)
     They found him in the city jail, *** debris
          Intact except for herpes, and 6 kinds of VD

     CHORUS
          (Gee, I wonder why?)

     Our engineer can yield to none in quaffing down the brew
          He outdrank 7 space marines and a demolition crew
     The navigator *** but he outdrank almost all
          And now they got a shuttlecraft on the roof of city hall

     CHORUS

     Our lady of communications won a ship like that
          By tying into the Argo-wide communications net
     Now, every time they call you on the Argo telescreen
          The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen
          (Yaah!)

     CHORUS

     Our helmsman loves exotic plants, the plants all love him too
          He took some down on leave with him, and we wondered what they'd do
     Well, the planetary governor now swears upon his life
          A gang of plants entwined his house, and then seduced his wife

     CHORUS

     A band of pirates landed and nobody seemed to care
          They stomped in the nearest bar and announced that they were there
          (We're here!)
     Half our crew was standing there and invited them to play
          The pirates took one look at us, and turned and ran away

     CHORUS

     We're truly Starfleet's finest, and our record is our pride
          And when we play we tend to leave a trail a mile wide
     We're sorry 'bout the wreckage and the rumpus and the fuss
          You can be sure that planet will be long forgetting us

     CHORUS
          (I wonder why?)
          (Did we do something wrong?)
