The original was "The modern Major General" from Pirates of Penzance. Gilbert & Sullivan, I think.

Wr8th: I think Data, Picard and Worf singing in ST: Insurrection is an even better one But, you asked for it. "A Modder's Heart" didn't mesh well, though, so I present instead:

------------
"A Modder's Mind"
(To the tune of "A British Tar" from H.M.S. Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan)

A modder's mind is a fearful thing,
They're crazy to a man;
His creativity conjures things that you and me*
Will barely understand.

His hands should fly,
And the code stretch out,
His new components,
Without a doubt,
Should seamlessly
Integrate themselves
With the SE4 that came to us right off the shelves.

[REPEAT]

His tech tree should be well thought out,
Its branches wrought with care;
His new facilities should have cool abilities,
Yet the mod must still be fair.

His new ship sizes
Should not seem queer,
And propulsion systems
He must make clear;
And when he's done with the mod he made,
He must post it on the forum, or it won't get played.

[REPEAT]
------------

* (Yes, I know it should be "you and I." Just go with it, 'K?)

Eric <-- who ought to be writing more useful things, and, for the record, sings counter-tenor.

So who's going to be the first among y'all to put his voice to it and post a WAV? Could then make it into an audio track for the startup of SE

[ Trek trivia ] Brent Spiner's first album ("Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back") included a track with Stewart, Frakes, Burton, and Dorn singing backup.

Has anybody thought about doing a verse in the tune of La Donna E Mobile?

I'd do it but I'm horrible with rhymes.

This is an interesting new idea for the forum - simply take an existing song and change one word to imitate a SEIV race and lo, a new song is born



Hey! I did more than change "bee" to "EEE"...


Here's a starter to get everyone joining in:
I'm an Emporer and I'm OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day,



(Suggested rhymes: Bra/ Nebula/ Jaenar)

Dogscoff, stop right there!! do not tarnish the wonderful world of Monty Python with your childish humour

PS let's see what you can do with 'Finland FInland Finland' or 'I like Chinese' or the one that has '..and tell me that you love me' as the Last stanza of the first line!!
