1 Ten Years

A pathetic filk by Berzerker_prime to Barenaked Ladies' "One Week"



It's been

Ten years since that weekend morn

Saw the Power Rangers and all their wacky cheese, corn

Five years since we saw In Space

Then blasted to Lost Galaxy, of the old cast there was no trace

Eight years since those three new guys

Came along and took up black, yellow, and red disguise

Yesterday

We saw the Wild Force

And it'll still be two days 'til they set their own course



Oh my god, remember Tommy

He did enthrall me

As Green Ranger he was too cute

His hair was long, he had his own big nifty song

Rita Repulssa made him bad, destroy the town with a dagger flute

Red Ranger with tyrannosaurus rex Zord

Destroyed the dark sword

Much more than five, six Rangers were just cool

Kim Hart had those mad flips

She was a gymnast

And of course was a cheerleader too



We're gonna make a show off about a dozen pre-filmed blows and you know the truth is it all came straight from Japan

Cut and paste is the order of the day when we say we gotta use this stuff that is already in the can



Tommy's green and then he's white and then he's red of course

And then in Turbo he leaves for the race course

I'm the kinda fan who laughs as the Puttie horde

Can't understand, here let me show you my sword

I have a tendency to pantomime an air guitar

I have a history of singing all the songs



It's been

Ten years since the floating head

His name was Zordon, "behold the viewing globe" he said

Ten years since the "aye-yi-yi"s

Alpha Five was a 'bot made on Edenoi

It's been

Six years since the fish Rangers

Brought on the show 'cause the cuts were getting stranger

Yesterday

Red Lion was trashed

But it'll still be okay 'cause we got the Giraffe



Rito and Rita, Rita and Rito

They fight and cast a spell and that makes the whole show

Lookin' through a 'scope with the lights on

They get the plot on

But what about light pollution?

Like Austin St. John I'm getting schitzo

And I don't know

If I wanna do this show or not

Just like Voltron this is cheesy

But it's so easy

To get sucked in by the flash and whatnot



Start with five Zords, then they're one, and add two, put 'em together and you've got a nifty Ultrazord

That's how it goes when they are attacked by a toad and it turns out that they can't just do it with the sword



Can I help it if I'm just a crazy fan-girl?

Tryin' hard not to give in but I soon will

I'm the kinda fan who laughs at the Tengu gang

Can't understand, then you gotta see this thang

I have a tendency to collect all the merchandise

I have a history of taping every show



It's been

Nine years since Zack and Trini

They left the show just shy of the movie

Eight years since the Shogun Zords

Edited from Kakuranger and their cool swords

Five years since Astronema

And Dark Specter, Ecliptor and Darkonda

Yesterday

All the world did see

Who the Ranges were and that made history



Who the Rangers were and that made history



Who the Rangers were and that made history



Come over here and turn on the TV…
