This is the song that inspired the others. My dad and I were listening to good ol' Barry, and he decided to change the words to the chorus. Naturally, in order to save my sanity, I had to come up with words for the rest of the song. Thanks, Dad.
Song: Copacabana by Barry Manilow
Episode: Pretty much all of the early Tok'ra episodes.
Note: Aoueoiuaouha is the sound a ribbon device makes. I think that's about it, unless you guys know a better way of spelling that really sweet sound…
Tok'racabana
Tok'ra Chorus: Her name was Rosha, she was a Tok'ra.
She had a snake named Jolinar, but that didn't get her far
Because she was shot and forced to swap hosts.
The Nasian man was just too new, and soon he got shot too
So then along came Sam, who found this wounded man
She didn't know what she was doing –
The snake jumped in, BAM!
Now she's Tok'ra (Tok), Tok'racabana (Where's the cabana?)
The greatest secret in the land, yeah. (But)
At the Tok'ra (Tok?), Tok'racabana,
Secretive passion was always the fashion
For the Tok'ra…Who fall in love.
He was called Martuf, and also Lantash.
He wanted Jolinar back, but she was killed by an Ashrak.
Lantash was upset 'cause his mate was dead
But Martuf went a bit too far, Carter wasn't Jolinar
Sam was so confused, and O'Neill was, too.
But Martuf was made a Za'tarc and
Killed before he blew.
For the Tok'ra, (D'oh), Tok'racabana (Man, the cabana)
He nearly zapped our president, yeah… (Though)
For the Tok'ra (Tok!), Tok'racabana
Murder by Za'tarc is something that ain't smart
So the Tokr'ra…have that device.
(Tok'ra…Don't trust the Jaffa)
(Tok'ra…Had those armbands, ha!) (Tok'racabana, aoueoiuaouha…)
(Ah-AHHH!-aaaahh… Tok'racabana!)
(We're under attack…I want a snack…)
(Armbands sputtered out…it made O'Neill po-ut)
His name is Jacob, and he's ex-Air Force
But that was many years ago, when Sam used to hate him so.
Now he's a Tok'ra and goes by Selmak.
It may have cured his nasty cancer, but he still don't have no hair, sir
He loves his daughter more now than ever
He ain't human but he's not dying -
He's got a junior!
Thank the Tok'ra (Wha?), Tok'racabana (Oh, holy Hannah)
What makes ya' think Selmak's a man, huh?
Hey! The Tok'ra (No), Tok'racabana
They've always got spies blowing ships sky-high
But the Tok'ra…they stay on-board.
(Tok'ra) ya gotta love.
Tok'racabana,
Cross me, I'll zat ya.
