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...

      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!

    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.

    • @ladybuglisawahl

      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.

      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.
