Star Trek Parodies by Rick Moyer

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

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

Here is a new instrumental electronica song inspired by Tron Legacy.

Play Gareth’s Ipod Here
written and performed by Rick Moyer

My friend Gareth and I were talking on Skype together, he on his iPod and I on my computer when we began to play music, sing and laugh.  It was so fun that I found this cool setting on my keyboard and I told him that by the time he woke up in the morning – he lives in England, that I would have a song written for him.  And thus, Gareth’s Ipod was born!  ENJOY!

Jump on Through

Play Jump on Through
Who can forget the classic Star Trek TOS episode with Mr. Atoz?  Captain Kirk, the dr and Spock beam down to a library that can send you all over the place by jumping through a portal.  Thus the parody of the Beatles song “love me do” was born, it’s now “Jump on through”  Enjoy!

Jump on Through
To the tune of the Beatles “Love me do”
Lyrics and sung by Rick Moyer

Jump Jump on Through
You know  you need to
The Enterprise Crew
So Please
Jump on through
Woah jump on through

Jump Jump on through
Sarpadions too
First Kirk then the two
So please , jump on through
Oh jump on through

Mr. Atoz insists
Pick a world new
You don’t have time
Now get on through

Jump jump on through
The Portal is true
Zarebeth falls for you
So please jump on through

Jump Jump on through
MCcoy he saves you
And Kirk gets back too
So please Jump on through
Whoa jump on through
Yeah, Jump on through
Whoa , oh. Jump on through.

Play Make It So by Rick Moyer

Make it so

Original song written and recorded by Rick Moyer

Imagine my thrill when on my TV
Star Trek was coming back and it would be weekly!
This time they would have a whole new crew
The sky was the limit on the things they would do

 With a bald headed captain Who loved Shakespeare
And quirky first officer with a solid career
The security chick with a green uniform on
And later on replaced by a butt head Klingon

Chorus

They say all good things must come to and end
But when it was over I lost a best friend
A comfort to watch seven years in a row
And week after week we would make it so

Make it so

 A cosmic cheerleader that could read our mind
A Doctor with hair that changed color all of the time
The engineer that wore a barrette on his eyes
And a boy wonder that would save all our lives

 An android  Pinocchio with Robot like distractions
Longing to be human but can’t use a  contraction
An Irish chief that keeps the transporter a flyin’
With Keico and Molly the family Obrien

 They say all good things must come to and end
But when it was over I lost a best friend
A comfort to watch seven years in a row
And week after week we would make it so

Make it so

 The villains each week were a must see to
From Romulans, Ferangis and the ultimate Q
Cardassians, Shelliack, whatever they were on
Resistance was futile To the Borg automaton

 The ship was run tight with Jean Luc at the head
And every single officer did just what he said
Like a family in space we would watch them every week
To uphold the prime directive and new life to seek

 So thanks for your friendship Captain Jean Luc Picard
Give my best to Riker and the crew that you Guard
What a cool old ship the  Enterprise D
You were the best television a person could see

Goodbye Dr. Beverly, Data and Yar
Deanna, Wesley & Worf in the 10 forward bar
Geordie keep her running, Rodenberry’s creation
Cause now that it’s over I miss the next Generation

They say all good things must come to and end
But when it was over I lost a best friend
A comfort to watch seven years in a row
And week after week we would make it so

We would make it so

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is such a classic movie!  Rico Dostie over at Treks in Sci Fi just reviewed the movie, and I couldn’t resist putting together a parody song for it.  This is to the tune of ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man”   I hope you enjoy it.

 
Play or download Penitent Man

Penitent Man

Parody of ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man”
Lyrics and sung by Rick Moyer

Cool Hat, hates Nazis
Professor of archeology
Leather coat, a Bullwhip
Off on adventures on another trip
Findin’ treasures just as fast as he can
Jehovah’s quite crazy ‘bout the Penitent Man

Gold Cross, Crescent Moon
Under libraries in a knighted tomb
He finds Dad, they team up
There just searchin’ for the Holy cup
Dr. Jones will he’ll reveal the true plan
Cause Jehovah’s quite crazy ‘bout the Penitent Man

Nice blonde, they understand
A Nazi agent for the Fatherland
Dad is shot, to save the day
Indy’s got to take it all the way
Walk through the test pick the grail if he can
Cause Jehovah’s quite crazy ‘bout the Penitent Man

Encased in Ice
This is a tribute to the Voyager episode “Timeless”  what a cool episode full of time travel, frozen borgs and more.  Enjoy the parody.

Play:  Encased in Ice
A parody of Foreigner’s “As Cold as Ice”
Lyrics and sung by Rick Moyer

You’re encased in ice
You’re stuck in the ice from up above
Kim he gave some bad advice
and someday he’ll pay the price I know

the glitch in the drive, a dangerous stunt
Harry’s idea with a shuttle in front
Buried in time Harry wants it right
Recruited Chakoty, to join in his fight….

Voyager’s encased in ice
The doctor he helps them with their plan
Can use seven of nine
Cranial implant time, you know

Temporal transmitter, take us back in time
Make things right leave the past behind
Rescue the crew so they won’t do the fly
To bad the two guys both have to die….

(Cold as ice) You know that they are
(Cold-cold, As-as ice) The quantum slip stream drive
(Cold-cold-cold, As-as-as ice)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Cold as, cold as I-I ice) (You’re as cold ice) yes
(Cold as ice) Chakoty’s being nice, being nice I know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) Yes I know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) Starship Challenger’s flight, Captain Geordie’s advice I know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) Oh yes I know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) No longer lodged in ice, lodged in ice, you know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) Oh yes I know
(Cold as ice) (Cold as, cold as ice) your message made it through, made it through you know know

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?

Return to Tomorrow was one of the coolest Star Trek episodes ever. I just couldn’t resist writing a parody to go along with Billy Squire’s “Everybody wants you” I put in the lyrics, “Switching minds with Sargon” and it worked. Enjoy!

Switching minds with Sargon
Parody of “Everybody wants you” by Billy Squire
Sung by Rick Moyer

Readings growing up ahead in the night
Ship is further with a planet that is in  sight
Big strong voice we hear with reverb
Ancient beings Hoping that we have the Nerve

Beam us on down, get to know our cool place
Help us all out before we lose our whole race
Let us build some bots, ‘for our minds are all gone
Let us use your bods, switching minds with Sargon

They need the help and Kirk can’t say no
What it will do, nobody can really know
So on to sick bay where the transfer is done
They come to life and the trouble it’s just begun, yeah

Messin’ with her mind ol  nurse Chapel is duped
Henoch sets it up to kill Sargon to boot
Fallin’ for Thalassa and the things they will do
Henoch fools them all- Switching minds with Sargon

Switching minds with ancients
Globes for their containment
Sargon really needs  you, leads you, bleeds you

Oh the confusion of keeping the crew
With all the kissing they, passing up their feelings too
They got the body, but their feeling real poor
Their dream of robots is going right out the door
Sargon’s dead and Thalassa she tries
To keep her woman’s body and on McCoy she relies
Henoch gets injected with the poison and’s gone
Spock comes back to life, Switching minds with Sargon

Everybody’s Sargon, Everybody’s Sargon
