Smoke on the Planet
a parody of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water

PLAY SMOKE ON THE PLANET
It was fun to watch Captain Kirk battle the Smoke/Cloud monster that smelled like honey.  The episode Obsession begged a parody song.. and so here it is…

SMOKE ON THE PLANET
A parody of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
lyrics and sung by Rick Moyer

ON 3619.2
A survey on Argus V
The planet rich in tritanium
A substance harder than diamonds
The captain smells a sweetness
And orders the ensigns around
He says fire on the cloud red shirts
But then he finds them on the ground
Smoke on the Planet, a monster in disguise

Smoke on the Planet

Big white cloud

It sucked out the corpuscles
Left the ensigns dead cept Rizzo
The Captain says it’s familiar
That the dr. Search records of the Farragut
Rizzo dies and Garrovick
His best buddy wants revenge
So they all beam down again to search
And the cloud attacks them again

Smoke on the Planet, monster in disguise

Big white cloud

Now Kirk he’s getting obsessed
With the killing of this blip
The Cloud it goes to warp eight
Then turns back on their ship
McCoy and Spock they question
But in the end they trust ol Kirk
The blow it up with anti matter
It’s the only thing that works
Smoke on the Planet, A monster in the sky

Play the song ELECTRIC SHEEP
by Rick Moyer

The movie Bladerunner was such an interesting Science Fiction offering.  My friend Rico told me that it was adapted for screen from the story called “Do androids dream of electric sheep?”by Philip K. Dick  and thus, this mash up was recorded and performed for your listening pleasure!  No repicants were harmed in the making of this song.  I promise.  😉

Play the song Without Old Landru Here

Rico Dostie from www.treksinscifi.com covered the episode of the original Star Trek series called “Return of the Archons”  It was  an episode that freaked me out as a kid, but as an adult I appreciated it’s message and cool sci fi elements.  So, I had to do a parody of U2’s With Or Without You, and it became Without Old Landru.  ENJOY!

Without Old Landru

Parody of U2’s with or without you
By Rick Moyer

See the brown robes really thick
See the hollow big long sticks
And they serve Landru

Sulu underneath his charm
The population he does harm
And they serve, Landru

It’s all about Landru
It’s all about Landru

The Red hour comes and then they all
Lose control for Festival
And They serve Landru

It’s all about Landru
It’s all about Landru
They can’t live
without Old Landru

Are you part of the body
Are you part of the body
Are you part
Are you part
Are you part of the body

Kirk he tries
And tricks Landru with his mind
Sparks they all fly
Nothing left of him…

And they blew Landru away
And they blew Landru away
And they blew
And they blew
And they blew Landru away

Was all about Landru
Was all about Landru
Beta Three without Ol Landru
Without old Landru

 Woooo ooooooooooooo X3

It’s all about Landru
It’s all about Landru
They can’t live
without Old Landru

The episode “We’ll always have Paris” is from the first season of Star Trek The Next Generation.  It was a pretty cool episode, but most memorable for me were Janice’s silver poofy pants, just had to write a song about them.  Enjoy!

Play the song Silver Poofy Pants HERE

Silver Poofy Pants
written and performed by Rick Moyer

Fencing with his partner things they go awry
When time it turns on backwards from some  crazy scientist guy
A distress call in the distance It calls the Enterprise
The crew they race on over An Jon luc  gets surprised

In her silver poofy pants
The long forgotten romance
Stood her up in Paris France
In her silver poofy pants

 In her silver poofy pants
Go trapesin’ through the galaxy
In her silver poofy pants
Married to Manheim you see

The Manheim effect will hurt the Universe
Jean Luc he meets Jenice, and things can’t get much worse
Data has to place the antimatter  completely
Three of them confer seal it up so neatly

In her silver poofy pants
The long forgotten romance
Stood her up in Paris France
In her silver poofy pants

In her silver poofy pants
Go trapesin’ through the galaxy
In her silver poofy pants
Married to Manheim you see

In her silver poofy pants
Jean Luc you missed out yo
In her silver poofy pants
To the vendor system we go

 In her silver poofy pants
Do you regret your choice?
In her silver poofy pants
When you recognized her voice
In her silver poofy pants

Cheesy Sci-Fi

Play Cheesy Sci-Fi Here

I have long been a fan of campy sci-fi shows.  I love B movies with a sci-fi theme from Godzilla to “They came from outerspace”  Had to put together a song that is techno and rocks at the same time and thus… CHEESY SCI-FI the song was born.  This is an original where I wrote, recorded and performed the song.  ENJOY!

Cheesy Sci-Fi
written and performed by Rick Moyer
copyright 2011 Moyer Multi Media LLC

Don’t you think I like it when I see the fishing line?
Don’t you think I know it when the actor blows his line?
Don’t you think I dig it when costumes don’t fit right?
Don’t you think it’s cool on sci fi Friday night?

 Lasers that are drawn in to make it look real hip
Sparks and smoke they fill the place and shake the fake spaceship
Overacting gone awry and spandex in the mix
And plastic props and boulders  so we can get our kicks 

I want cheesy sci fi
You want cheesy sci fi
We want cheesy sci fi
Not your fly by night guy

Chorus:

Somethin on the TV
Rubber Mask that’s cheesy
Robots make it easy
Come on entertain me
cheesy sci fi

Karate chopping captains that use both of their hands
And monsters in a rug suit roaming all through the land
Vehicles that look like they rolled out of Mad Max
And green blood dripping everywhere From Alien attacks
And don’t forget the sound effects that entertain our ears
From Spaceships to the atmosphere  decapitation fears
All of this it  makes for sci fi that we love
So bring on the Aliens from the hovering ships above

 Chorus X 2

Cool talk voice solo

Chorus

When Data was linked up by Geordie

Fist Full of Data’s is such a great episode of Star Trek TNG.  Not only do we get to see the “Ancient West” but Worf as a sherrif!  Fantastic!  Watch out, there’s trouble in the Holodeck sub routines!

When Data was linked up by Geordie
A parody of Charlie Daniel’s “The devil went down to Georgia”
Lyrics by Rick Moyer, sung by Rick Moyer

When Data was linked up by Geordie they were looking for a back up live
He would be used, neural network fused a fancy space hard drive
When Worf barges in to the captains room and tries to make work a lot
And the captain put his flute on down and said Worf let me tell you what:
It’s time for a vacation, I know you need one too
So stop your work, quit being a jerk, boy   don’t make me order you
Now you work hard like a warrior boy, but you live with someone else too
I’ll bet a fella not old, against your code, wants to spend time with you

The boy said, I’ve got it all planned out, with Barklay it might be a wreck
Let’s see who we arrest in the Ancient West on the Enterprises  Holodeck

Data link your neural net and Geordie tell Picard
The system has been overloaded Data’s speaking bizarre
And if we turn the holdeck off, before the stories done
But then we lose the Father and the son….

Sheriff Worf got his first case and said “your coming with me you know”
And Eli knew what he was gonna do said “better let me go”
He smirked at them in his jail cell and said with an evil hiss
My Pa will be joined by a band of thugs and they’ll all  sound something like this

In the local saloon Senior Frank he said, Sheriff give me back my son
Worf says no, but where’d his deputy go? The kidnap has been done

Problem in the core, of the main machine
trouble in the holodeck sub routine
Data’s showin up as the characters too
Can we fix the program, what do we do?

Counselor Darango helps Sheriff Worf make a little trade
Meeting in the street, it was really neat he wasn’t even afraid
Turning on his shield he saves the day and says’ never come back now get”
Miss Annie  hugs Worf and the Enterprise flies off into the sunset.

Problem in the core, of the main machine
trouble in the holodeck sub routine
Data’s showin up as the characters too
Can we fix the program, what do we do?

My friend Brett Hammond suggested that I use the song “Fireflies” by Owl City to do a parody, well.. here is his wish. My son Nathan is into all this auto tuning stuff, so I let him sing on it and I wrote the lyrics. ENJOY! It’s about the Episode of Star Trek TNG called “Conspiracy”

ENTERPRISE
to the tune of Owl City’s “Fireflies”

Conspiracy on Enterprise
Is that the way it flies?
A message sent from Walker Keel

Priority message see
To meet up on Dytalix B
The captains gather
In a old mining ….shaft

I’d like to fly back soon you see
TO planet Earth …warp three
It’s hard to say what’s going on
In Star Fleet
Cause everything is messed up it seems

Cause I saw a thousand bugs
When the admirals turned into thugs
As they tried to get me to eat their food

Riker he acted instead
A fake tail out of his head
He fooled them all and he shot some dead

I’d like to fly back soon you see
To planet Earth please …warp three
It’s hard to say what’s going on
In Star Fleet
Cause everything is messed up it seems
When I dig deep
We could be under alien attack
(Please take me away from here)
We’ll have to take the planet back
(Please take me away from here)
We can’t let their message reach deep space
(Please take me away from here)
The crew will rescue Earth and save face

Back on the Enterprise
Quinn tries to fool those guys
Kicks Warf’s butt, but then he fell
The bugs are in Remick still
Jean Luc and Riker’s Kill
A meat puppet the aliens they fill

I’d like to fly back soon you see
To planet Earth please …warp three
It’s hard to say what’s going on
In Star Fleet
Cause everything is messed up it seems
When I dig deep

I’d like to fly back soon you see
TO planet Earth please …warp three
It’s hard to say what’s going on
In Star Fleet
Cause everything is messed up it seems
When I dig deep

I’d like to fly back soon you see
TO planet Earth please …warp three
It’s hard to say what’s going on
In Star Fleet
But I think it’s a conspiracy

Five Years (do the Rico)

We got to celebrate Rico Dostie’s 5 year anniversary of the Treks in Sci Fi Podcast, so I did an original tune that is sure to make you dance and smile. ENJOY, oh and do the RICO!

The ISS

This is an original song I wrote for the International Space Station

I wrote a song that you could watch the International space station fly overhead and listen to at the same time! Check out this website for times and dates http://twisst.nl/

Tom Paris got himself into some trouble when on the episode Alice of Star Trek Voyager he merged with the shuttle craft and became controlled by it. I had to write some fun lyrics to go with Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall. Enjoy!

Another Ship in the Hold
by Rick Moyer
to the Tune of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall”
http://www.christrocks.com/parody

We don’t need no transportation
We don’t need an interface
No optronic weapons on the flyer
Chakoty leave ol’ Tom alone
Hey Chakoty, leave ol’ Tom alone

All in all it’s just another ship in the hold
All in all you’re just another ship in the hold

It just needs some modification
So Alice can simply take control
No need for anyone except Tom Paris
Belana leave the ship alone
Hey Belana, leave the ship alone!

Tom, Do it again!”

If you don’t do your job, you can’t work on the shuttle, how can you work on the shuttle if you don’t do your job?

You! Yes, Tom in the shuttle bay, stand still laddy!
