We are the Sword of Lore-less. This is a song off our new album, High Noonien Songs.

The Droid and the Annoyed.

[–] 7of9@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Annoyed and Android scans better in my opinion. It could also be a tongue twister.

You set up the idea, so high five for a group effort o/

I like that name a ton and also "Paranoid Android" is a Radiohead song from the album OK Computer. Now I'm realizing there is no comma in that title. I always thought it was "OK, Computer" because the speaker is addressing the computer. Nope, it is "OK Computer" like a label at an antique shop letting you know the computer is not Poor or Excellent but just OK.

Computer: write a country song as if Worf and Data wrote it together.

This is an interesting challenge. I will try to write a country song as if Data and Worf wrote it together. Here is what I came up with:

Verse 1: I was a Klingon without a home You were an android without a soul We both felt like we didn't belong But we found each other on the Enterprise

Pre-chorus: We may not have much in common But we share a sense of honor And a passion for adventure And a friendship that is stronger

Chorus: Than any force in the galaxy You are my brother and my ally We'll stand together till the end You are my comrade and my friend

Verse 2: We've faced many dangers and enemies We've fought for our lives and our beliefs We've seen wonders and mysteries But we always had each other's back

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge: Sometimes I wish I could feel what you feel Sometimes you wish you could be what I am But we don't need to change who we are We just need to accept and understand

(Chorus)

Outro: You are my comrade and my friend You are my comrade and my friend

(Verse 1) Well, out in the binary sunset, where the data flows so free, Worf and I saddle up, in the holodeck, just him and me. We punch in coordinates to a honky-tonk in the stars, Where the warp core hums, and the steel guitars.

(Chorus) Data's circuits sing a tune, Worf's heart beats strong and true, In this cosmic dance, where the stars align, we'll make it through. We're two souls in a nebula, navigating the galaxy, A country song in warp speed, just Worf and me.

(Verse 2) Data calculates the rhythm, precision in every line, While Worf's Klingon heart adds a touch, fierce and fine. Through the Delta Quadrant, we'll two-step our way, In the cosmic hoedown, where the starlight plays.

(Chorus) Data's circuits sing a tune, Worf's heart beats strong and true, In this cosmic dance, where the stars align, we'll make it through. We're two souls in a nebula, navigating the galaxy, A country song in warp speed, just Worf and me.

(Bridge) On the bridge of the Enterprise, where the stars meet the sky, Worf's the cowboy, and Data's the reason why. In a saloon on Risa, where the drinks are cold and sweet, We'll kick up the stardust with our warp-driven beat.

(Verse 3) Through time and space, our melody unfolds, In the heart of the galaxy, where the country story's told. With Worf's honor and Data's grace, We'll serenade the cosmos, find our place.

(Chorus) Data's circuits sing a tune, Worf's heart beats strong and true, In this cosmic dance, where the stars align, we'll make it through. We're two souls in a nebula, navigating the galaxy, A country song in warp speed, just Worf and me.

(Outro) So as the stars keep shining, and the warp drive hums along, Worf and I will sing our song, in this cosmic country throng. Through binary sunsets and interstellar bars, Our country tune echoes among the stars.

With a million dollars ... you could take these lyrics .. you could hire a recording studio, get a bag of cocaine, some cheap musicians, a good looking guy or gal and spend the rest on marketing and you would easily turn it into tens of millions in a year or two.

Now I just the need the capital to start with.

Bard gave me this, and it's not terrible:

(Verse 1) Worf: I'm a Klingon warrior, born to fight Data: I'm an android, made of metal and light Worf: I've got a heart full of rage Data: I've got a mind full of sage

(Chorus) But we're both part of the Star Trek crew And we're both here to see it through We've got our differences, it's true But we're both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you

(Verse 2) Worf: I've fought in battles, I've seen the best and the worst Data: I've studied the human condition, I've put it to the test Worf: I believe in honor and duty Data: I believe in logic and beauty

(Chorus) But we're both part of the Star Trek crew And we're both here to see it through We've got our differences, it's true But we're both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you

(Bridge) We're two very different beings, that's for sure But we're both part of the Star Trek crew, that's pure We've got our differences, but we also have our strengths And together, we can overcome any length

(Chorus) We're both part of the Star Trek crew And we're both here to see it through We've got our differences, it's true But we're both here to fight for what we believe in, me and you

I can hear them switching off verses and harmonizing the chorus. This one has an old school Hank Williams Sr. era vibe to it. More folky than Nashville.

Jimmy Stewart and Merle Haggard never had a formal band, classic pic

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

The episode's title is pretty good: A Fistful of Datas

My best try: Crusher's Delight

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Fantastic, now I have a night of repeating Gilbert & Sullivan: ♫♫ His nose should pant and his lip should curl, His cheeks should flame and his brow should furl, His bosom should heave and his heart should glow, And his fist be ever ready for a knock-down blow. ♫♫

Neutral Zone Line. I'm not really into Robro Space Country though. More of an Alt-Space-Country/Federana guy.
