LOVE TREK


By George Bogler, with Jill Bogler, David & Stephanie Thalmann, and Rex Rouviere


(Based on "Love Shack", by The B-52's)

This was a difficult song to adapt due to it's complexity. Not every alternate word or phrase I tried was singable (I DON'T sing). This was important because the song was to be recorded and used during an upcomming Internet "Radio" Show. AND we had to be ready to record 2 1/2 days after being asked.

My thanks to Jill, Dave, and Steph for not killing either each other or me as we struggled to balance "singablilty" with lyrical integrity. Thanks to Rex for keeping everyone mostly sane while he was recording us.

This version is based on a karaoke version of Love Shack, and thus differs slightly from the B-52's' version. Some lines have been added, altered, or removed; but we had to have the karaoke music to sing to for the recording. I will try to get the matching music uploaded soon. After hearing the broadcast I have decided NOT to include a vocal version here. It sounded horrible, and the vocals and music, which were recorded as two separate tracks, did not get synchronized. Public opinion from the show's chat room was unanimously negative.

Male vocals are indicated by blue or black text, and female vocals by pink. Text in parentheses ( ) indicates an overlapping vocal. Text in brackets [ ] is anecdotal information.


(There may be a brief introduction before the melody starts. I also do not guarantee the music will be totally in synch with the lyrics--see above--)

LOVE TREK

By The T-47's

If you see a faded sign on your TV screen that says
15 minutes till the...[harmony]Love Trek! Love Trek yeah
[solo 1] I'm headin´ down the old Milky Way
[harmony] Lookin´ for the Trek getaway
Heading for the love getaway,

So get in my shuttle, we'll go (Trek Getaway) save'n the whales
And we're headin´ on down to the Love Trek (Love Getaway)
I got me a shuttle, it seats about twenty (Love Trek-away)
So hurry up and bring your Horga'hn honey
The Love Trek is a little old show that we can watch together
Love Trek bay-bee,
Love Trek ba-ay-bee.
Love Trek, baby Love Trek
Love Trek, baby Love Trek
(Love, baby that's where it's at)
Q says.. (Whoo!)... stay away fools, ´cause love rules on this Star Ship!
[solo 2] Well we're lost way back in an asteroid field,
Just some styrofoam rocks, and no Doc Phlox

[solo 1]Jim Kirk with his shirt off
Jean-Luc the French bald guy
Janeway and Ben Sisko
Archer ain't no small fry

[harmony] The Love Trek is a little old show that we can watch together
Love Trek baby!
Love Trek baby
Love Trek, that's where it's at!
Love Trek, that's where it's at!

Huggin´ and a kissin´, dancin´ and a lovin´, but not if you are Vulcan
And when we're shot by Klingons
The whole ship shimmies and everybody's
Movin´ around and around and around and around!
Every Yeoman's movin´, Janice Rand is groovin´ baby!
Folks linin´ up worldwide just to beam in
Everybody's movin´, even Bones is groovin´ baby!
Funky little ship! Funky little ship!

[instrumental]
Lit-tle?
[instrumental]
Hop in my shuttle, and we'll go save the whales--we're about to set sail!
I got my own ship, it seats about twenty
So come on and bring your Horga'hn honey.
The Love Trek is a little old show that we can watch together
Love Trek bay-bee,
Love Trek ba-ay-bee.
Love Trek, baby Love Trek
Love Trek, baby Love Trek
(Love, baby that's where it's at)
[instrumental]
Bang, bang, bang, on the hatch baby! Hail a little louder Starfleet!
Bang, bang, bang, on the hatch baby!I can't hear you!
Bang, bang, on the hatch baby!
Bang, bang, on the hatch!
Bang, bang, on the hatch baby!
BANG, BANG!
You're what?... [solo 1] ship's hull, ruptured!
[harmony]Love Trek, baby Love Trek!
Love Trek, baby Love Trek
(Love, baby that's where it's at, yeah)
Love Trek, baby Love Trek (Love, baby that's where it's at)
Love Trek, baby Love Trek (Huggin´ and a kissin´, dancin´ and a lovin´ on the love Trek.)
(Huggin´ and a kissin´, dancin´ and a lovin´ on the love Trek.)
[solo 1] Whoo!
