Star Trek – Leslie Fish - Read My Lips
Parodist: Bob Kanefsky
Parody of “Troll Hall”, words and music by Leslie Fish
I am strong. I am swift. I am one with the earth.
I dig deep in the ground, where it’s safe to give birth.
Do you know what you’ve found with your big, fancy ships?
Read my thoughts! Read my words! Read my lips!
I had ten thousand young who are dead, thanks to you.
I will kill when I must if I fail to get through:
Through your skulls, as they crack. Through your hide, as it rips.
Read my thoughts! Read my words! Read my lips!
You assume I am dense since I look like a rock.
You have mush for your brains, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock.
See those words on the wall? I should think they’d be tips.
Read my thoughts! Read my words! Read ...

Words: Misty Lacky Music: Leslie Fish It's Minus 10 and Counting, and soon she will be gone, The shining, stub-winged angel that we've pinned our hopes upon, And even as she waits she seems to strain to touch the sky. It's Minus 10 and Counting, and we wait for her to fly. (Chorus) It's Minus 10 and Counting, and time is passing fast. It's Minus 10 and Counting; will our next choice be our last...

Charlie Richter made a scale for calibrating earthquakes Gives a true and lucid reading ev'ry time the earth shakes Increments are exponential; numbers O to 9 When the first shock hit the "seismo", everything worked fine It measured one-two (1.2) on the Richter scale A shabby little shiver O...

We sent them out to the planets To worlds beyond our own; Where frail men dared not venture They traveled on alone. Though they be no more than robots, To the stars they steer!

They stole for us his image,...

Coquille garden - Peter, Paul and Mary - Garden Song
The only version I had heard of this was when it was "The Rebel Queen". Thanks for this!
The music is by Elliott Davis.
Thank you for posting these. Even when I have copies of the songs, it's cool seeing the videos.
Thanks. Great to hear it.
Lost my CD of this in ages past... first time hearing this in a quarter-century!
I too have been finding digital version of filk tapes I used to have, but some I haven't heard in 40 years are well remembered. This one inspired me to keep track of Sue news over the years.
Larry singing off-key on purpose... ooof
Thanks a lot for posting this! I saw Dr. Robinson perform it at a WorldCon Filk show, and promptly bought all of his CDs in the Dealers' Room. But I have always wanted it to be on FaceBook so I could share it with people. Does he have an online store where he sells CDs? I would like to share that when I share the video. Google was no help. I subscribed to your channel.

Thanks for the encouragement. Now I want to do Digga Bigga Bone. ruclips.net/video/rNRqThVvIAQ/видео.html
You know, like 2 days before you released this video, I wonders if someone made an amv of this song
Bravo!
Wonderful job my friend.
Thank you kindly.😀
Only heard this satire once at a filk circle at some forgotten con in the early 90s... I've had the original on my playlist for ages, so glad to have this one, too!
This version is from their 1988 album Station Break. I have another version on Shoot the Moon Recorded Live at Lunacon, Boskone, and Darkovercon 1992.
I had forgotten this Kanefsky parody - thank you for reminding me!
It was just begging to be done while I was browsing NASA's library.
Phenomenal!
WONDERFUL!! Thanks!!

Hey you're a hero for making these videos
Has anyone thought of making a movie of this? (not just a short music video)
Not that I've heard. Great idea!
@@ladybuglisawahl I don't know how long the movie would be, but it would determine how long the ten scenes (since there are ten verses) would be, but you'd see what they did, and how they did it. Wikipedia even says who the characters are in each verse.
Thank you! You're fantastic.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! That was great & I want the lyrics! Best laugh of the day. Outstanding, thank you.
Banned From Argo When we pulled into Argo Port in need of R. & R., The crew set out investigating every joint and bar. We had high expectations of their hospitality, But found too late it wasn't geared 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 for just three days or four, But Argo doesn't want us anymore. The Captain's tastes were simple, but his methods were complex. We found him with five 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--and the remnants of his pants. Our Engineer would yield to none at putting down the brew. He outdrank seven space marines and a demolition crew. The Navigator didn't win, but he outdrank almost all, And now they've got a shuttlecraft on the roof of City Hall. Our proper, cool First Officer was drugged with something green, And hauled into an alley, where he suffered things obscene. He sobered up in Sickbay and he's none the worse for wear, Except he's somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear. The Head Nurse disappeared awhile in the major Dope Bazaar, Buying an odd green potion "guaranteed to cause Pon-Farr". She came home with no uniform and an oddly cheerful heart, And a painful way of walking--with her feet a yard apart. Our lady of Communications won a ship-wide bet By getting into the planet's main communications net. Now every time someone calls up on an Argo telescreen, The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen. Our Doctor loves Humanity; his private life is quiet. The Shore Police arrested him for inciting whores to riot. We found him in the city jail, locked on and beamed him free-Intact except for hickeys and six kinds of VD. 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, 'Til the planetary governor called and swore upon his life That a gang of plants entwined his house and then seduced his wife! A gang of pirates landed, and nobody seemed to care. They stamped into the nearest bar to announce that they were there. Half our crew was busy there, and invited them to play, But the pirates only looked at us, and turned and ran away. Our crew is 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 about the wreckage and the riots and the fuss. At least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us!
A suitable partner to this song is Zander Nyrond's poem "Tunica Rufa; Vita Brevis". (It means "Red Shirt; Short Life" =:o} )
Brilliant idea to work to an Elfquest book from the Elfquest album. Across the board, working off the original tapes doesn't work well because you lose the whole point of the music video if you can't understand the lyrics. You can get some relief if you coded the lyrics over your video. But many of your other videos also have audio problems even though they're pro sources. Since your video is incredible quality, you need to up your audio quality to match. Your timing, too, is excellent.
Thanks for the feedback, but I started making vids with the goal of sharing some Julia Ecklar recordings not otherwise available. Obviously, now I'm addicted and following my muse where it leads. And I'd rather make vids than work on the audio quality. I leave that for future sound engineers. Yes, it detracts from the vids' accessibility, but that's not my top priority. Top priority is having fun.
Magnificent! Your scanning is perfect. Your choices are exquisite. The match to the words couldn't be better. It was a brilliant way to show your genealogy and SO well done!
That means so much to me, coming from you.
LOVE the pictures. Handsome people who live again while we watch. Wonderful. Love that you identified everyone.
Can I hug you?
Of course. Your family must be bursting their buttons. I truly believe that it's vital to have people we love remembered by as many people as possible. What you've done lives on and you've extended the time and the space in which these good people are remembered. The loss of souls that enrich the world enrages me. They MUST be remembered and you are blessed for doing this.
Silicon... The most devious of all elements.
Brilliant!
I probably ought to say something modest, but when you’re right, you’re right. But you were probably complimenting the song, not my video. In which case, you’re still right.
👍👍‼️
I remember Leslie singing it very fast to get it over with. Another time she had us sing the chorus every other verse; didn't work, because the verses just slide into the chorus. It's her own fault for writing such a fun song. 😁
If it were MY space station I would NOT welcome Captain Kirk and his crew aboard.
I did not know this version. Thanks!
Interesting thing is that the first time I came across this version was on a Star Trek filk tape, meant to refer to Kirk/Spock.
Me, too. And I was thinking of doing that version, but this is where my Muse led me. There's another version on RUclips based on some Western I've never seen.

Great job! Loved it.
Super! My target audience approves.
Do many parallels with my family hidyory accept our journey unfolded in German South West Africa, now Namibia, Rhodesia and South Africa. Bless you for uploading. Thank you
Any chance you could transcribe the lyrics? Some of them are a little hard to make out.
Sorry, I can't hear them that well either.
Thanks! I'll say again, I think Julia needs to put together another Elfquest filk album. 🙂 Thanks for recording these, and for making them public.
FWIW, we intentionally focused "Horsetamer" around having a concentration ElfQuest songs as a test of interest in a 2nd EQ album. I think maybe 2 or 3 people from ElfQuest fandom bought a copy when we released it, if that. There's also been very little (if any) interest when I've shared her unreleased EQ songs on the ElfQuest FB group, to where I've stopped sharing them there. Given the lack of interest, I've abandoned any notion of a 2nd EQ album.
@@elig9401 Ah well, sorry to hear that. I'm enjoying hearing them here.
Thanks for the update @@elig9401
Was this song written specifically about this show? Or was Julia just channeling her inner Morticia Addams?
This was recorded long before the show. At one point, Julia was thinking about becoming a pathologist, so she didn't need to channel anyone else.
FINALLY! Someone else confirms what I knew 20 years ago🤯...(ok50 years ago!🥴)
Glad to help!
Ese pelo liso rubio o negro, con ese corte de pelo con el partido enmedio que se usaba en los 70's y 80's me vuelve loco.
This is awesome😊🎉❤
this was my favorite graphic novel as a kid. Thanks for the memories.
Glad you liked it. I hope you saw my other ones. ruclips.net/p/PLtMBceDCX0YGb293505XcB7tz5Q5Mk4mZ&si=KenR_M6alQgXwxF0
Perfect.
Wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Where can the lyrics to this be found?
I've been unable to find this is any song book or recording. Sorry.
Are there lyrics posted anywhere?
It's in Julia's songbook, Dreamer. archive.org/details/filk_dreamer_songbook
I remember this song, it always gave me goosebumps. Great video; thanks Lisa.
So glad youo liked it! And I had to rewatch all Battlestar before I got to the episode it was based on. I had not remembered that it was the last episode which is also kind of creepy.
I really want to do A Last Evening's Dream, but I didn't see any obvious scenes for that one.
Where are you getting these?!
This one is from a private recording I made while visiting her in Pittsburgh in the 1980s.
@@ladybuglisawahl That's cool! I hope you're locking the videos so no one can edit/manipulate/steal her work. 🙂
Great job! Thanks for putting a smile on my face today.
Great cover
