Yup, Charmega parodies again! This time, it's "One Week" by BNL. I rewrote the words, as sung by Kirk to McCoy after a particularly normal week on the Enterprise. (No, do NOT imagine young Shatner trying to sing this, a la Mister Tambourine Man. Imagine KIRK singing it, since the character Kirk actually has a good singing voice in theory.) Even if you have an mp3 of the song, I wouldn't recommend trying to sing or read along. I had to use the lyrics sheet to match up the words at the high-speed verses, and even I can't sing/read 'em that fast. But hey, if you can sing/read fast and sound okay, then do it. It sounds better if you know how the tune goes, but it makes sense anyway. ^_~ Challange: See if you can name all the episode references in this song!
Note: Weird Al also parodied this song. Look it up under "Jerry Springer."
Kirk's Week - "One Week" Parody
By Charmega/Lugia42
It's been one week since you looked at him
Cocked your head to the side and said "He's dead, Jim"
Five days since you laughed with me, saying
"Most of the crew can't even sing a church hymn"
Three days since you made Spock trip
Playing pranks on every crewman on my ship
Yesterday it occured to me that
When the crisis is over, you're still looking too grim
Hold that elevator, yeoman
Hey, ain't your name Rand?
Nice to meet you, I'm the captain
I call the bridge from the 'lift
Mister Spock answers, and sounds miffed
And I say, "Get off my chair, do you understand?"
Raise the shields just when I say so
Fire torpedo
I just blew up the Klingons, don't ya know
Sulu get us out now
I don't care just how
Disobey me and I'll scream out
Like on that one world with the gang show
I ran from Cracko
And I got to call you "Sawbones"
Gotta beat the fog, do Captain's Log
Even with gaps in my dialogue
I don't like Archer's dog, and all his show to top that
Gotta see the show 'cause then you'll know
That my whole crew will boldly go
And it's real dangerous
Spock's gotta get a new hat
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?
Me and Spock making sure you feel bad
I'm the kinda guy who's late for my funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendancy to live through the impossible
I have a history of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Poured me a brandy and whined that I'm crazy
Five days since you yelled at me
"Taking on Spock in the gym, that's stupidity"
Three days since the crew went nuts
It's Psi two-thousand's fault that you saw some redshirt's guts
Yesterday it appeared to me
A doctor's the most important man on my ship, see
Last month we had that one fat guy, Harry
And even before that, my best friend Gary
Bailey's predjudice on Vulcan
Because a war's on
And Spock looks just like a Romulan
I know I'm a Romantic
Hey, there's a green chick
I'm just a kid from Iowa
I'm just like Pike, a starship captain
Yes, I always will win
My mom's name is Winona
I'm a human, use illogic
Tease Spock for a kick
He's the guy who calls me "t'hy'la"
Gonna brush up on my chess skills
'Cause a game with Spock can really kill
Distress calls coming in on all channels, just a new day
Gotta make reports, ignore the sports
'Cause my crew's got the moves for fighting good
But against me, they're blown away
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad?
Me and Spock making sure you feel bad
I'm the kinda guy who's late for my funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendancy to live through the impossible
I have a history of ripping my shirt
It's been one week since you talked to me
Come on McCoy, I said I was sorry
Five days since we had the fight
Waking the whole ship well close to midnight
Three days since the Red Alert
And still our friendship remains almost inert
Yesterday, when you came to me
I was grateful to hear you say that you're sorry
I was grateful to hear you say that you're sorry
I was grateful to hear you say that you're sorry
Now what about this Saurian brandy you owe me?
