Now topping the charts in Europe is
Ralf's version of ABBA's "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)"
"Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Trip After Midnight)"
as performed by T'Pol
Half past twelve
And I'm working the night shift on the bridge all alone
How I hate to spend the duty on my own
Warp lights speeding
Right there on the viewscreen as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's just one soul out there
Logic can't stop my prayer . . .
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a Trip after midnight
Won't he come and help me chase my pressure away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a Trip after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Malcolm Reed
And his accent to beg for, oh he's making me high
But I think he loves a certain MACO guy
Engineering
Holds all that I long for and I dig his overall
I will so get underneath it after all
He'll soon be mine, oh yeah
Trellium can't fake my prayer . . .
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a Trip after midnight
Won't he come and let me rip his skivvies away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a Trip after midnight
Take me through my Pon Farr every night, every day
#1 with a bullet is "Stayin' Alive" by bandybones
MUSIC LINK
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a kick-ass man,
no time to talk.
Starships loud and warp cores warm,
I've been an engineer
since I was born.
And now it's all right; it's OK.
And you'd better look the other way.
You can try to understand
the Xindis' effect on this southern man.
Whether you're for vengeance or whether you're just plain pissed,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the cannon's firin' and I'm not even tirin'
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive. Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha stayin' aliiiiiiive!
Well now, I drink my milk and I eat my pie,
and if I can't get either
I might just cry.
I used to smile, but that's the past.
And I don't know
how long I'll last.
You know, it's all right; it's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
You can try to understand
the Xindis' effect on this southern man.
Whether you're for vengeance or whether you're just plain pissed,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the cannon's firin' and I'm not even tirin'
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive. Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha stayin' aliiiiiiive!
I'm goin' crazy. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm goin' crazy. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Close behind (and for those who hate disco) is SnoopMary's version of "Inner Smile" by the group 'Texas':

yeh, yeh

oh yeh
you gave me something
like lusting
and took me to the moon
you took my feelings
from nothing
came back at warp two
just meet me
i'm ready
to throw myself at you
so if i lose my patience
with TPTB
you must try to understand
(try to understand)
if i lose my patience
oh yeh
cause you make me feel
cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood
to watch you kill a Xindi or two
so come and make your move
and free me
you make my wishes
as much as
your near-misses make me drool
now that you've found a mission
how will you
escape away too?
but baby
i'm ready
i'm falling into you
so if i lose my patience
with TPTB
you must try to understand
(try to understand)
if i lose my patience
oh yeh
cause you make me feel
cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood
so come and make your move
and free me
free me
free me
wow wow wow
wow wow wow
yeh yeh
cause you make me feel
cause you make me feel wild
you touch my inner smile
you got me in the mood
so come and make your move
and touch my inner smile
come get my inner smile
smile
smile
yeh yeh
sometimes you'll need to be alone
there's times you'll need for Malcolm
to help you kill a clone
sometimes you make Archer feel so dry
there's times i ask myself
why?

5. My Favorite Things
The Sound of Tucker
SONG
words by J. Archer
(Heaven HELP you if you picture him twirling onto the bridge!)
My ship is alive with the sound of Tucker
That voice that has rung since he came on board
Oh, Trip fills the ship with that honeyed accent
The crew listens to their engineer adored
The ship seems to echo with the voice I first heard
At the Starfleet Academy
Trip flirts with the sweetness of pecan pie
I go weak in the knee
He laughs like a brook when it trips and falls
'cept once when he got cranky
On a warm, Southern night
He called me a stubborn Yankee
I go to see Trip when polo isn't helping
I know I will hear that familiar drawl
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of Tucker
And I'll lead once more
Ensign Going On J.G.
SONG
TRIP:
You wait little girl on an empty bridge
For the UT to make language
Your life little girl is an empty fridge
That men won't want to forage
HOSHI:
To forage...
TRIP:
You are an Ensign going on J.G., baby it's time to grow
Better transport, use phasers, in short, get rid of your fears Sato
You are an Ensign going on J.G., fellows will fall in line
Suliban lads, Andorian cads
Will offer their alien wine
Totally unprepared are you, to give a slug a home
Timid and shy and scared are you, on ships of the dead to roam
You need someone older and wiser, someone in underwear
I'm a Commander going on Captain, of you I'll take care
HOSHI:
I am an Ensign going on J.G., I ain't no xenophobe
Fellows on Risa tell me I'm nice-a, and willingly I disrobe
I am an Ensign going on J.G., innocent as a rose
Bachelors Klingon want to put rings on, what do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I, to give a slug a home
Timid and shy and scared am I, on ships of the dead to roam
I need someone older and wiser, someone in undies blue
You're a Commander going on Captain, I'll depend on you
Lonely Cap'n
SONG
Off in his quarters was a lonely Cap'n,
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely Cap'n,
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Phlox in the sickbay quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the Cap'n's throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo...
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay

T'Pol on the bridge as she made a note heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Hoshi turning on the Com to gloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Chef in the midst of his table d' hote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Travis in the sweet spot all afloat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
O ho lay dee odl lee o, o ho lay dee odl ay
O ho lay dee odl lee o, lay dee odl lee o lay
Our engineer with the wild oat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
He yodeled back to the lonely Cap'n,
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Soon the whole crew Trip's ecstatic quote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo!!
What a duet for our Trip and Cap'n!
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Hm hmmmm hm hmm-mmm
Odl lay ee (odl lay ee)

Ho ho, lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay

The charming engineer who just loved to dote heard,
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hoo hoo
He yodeled back to his friend the Cap'n,
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo
Soon Enterprise knew of Trip's man preferred

(How Do You Solve a Problem Like) Trip Tucker?
SONG
(May the Lord have mercy on you if you picture them all in nun's habits!)
Reed: He dents the hull and thinks I'm dull; he's always one to swear
T'Pol: In trouble when you least expect and oh the shirts he wears!
Reed: And tho it's different weekly, he has highlights in his hair
Phlox: I've even seen him crying at the mooooovies.
Travis: He's always in her email
T'Pol: But his penitence was real
Reed: He's always late for everything!
Phlox: Except for every meal
Reed: I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
Soval: Trip Tucker's not an asset to the Starfleet
Hoshi: I'd like to say a word in his behalf
(ARCHER: Then say it Ensign Hoshi Sato)
Hoshi: Trip Tucker * makes * me laugh!
ARCHER: How do you solve a problem like Trip Tucker?
If all you want to do is pinch his bum?
Hoshi: How do you find the word that means Trip Tucker?
Phlox: A flibberti-licious,
T'Pol: callipygian,
Reed: yum!
ARCHER: Admit it Reed, you know you'd like to spank him
Maybe the Vulcan wants to lend a hand?
Reed: How else do you make him stay and listen to all you say
ARCHER: How can I break the fraternizing rule?
Hoshi: How do you solve a problem like Trip Tucker?
ARCHER: How can we save ourselves from all this drool?
T'Pol: When I'm with him I'm confused, out of focus and bemused,
and I never know exactly where I am...
Forrest: Unpredictable as weather
Phlox: He is flighty as a feather
V'Lar: He's a darling
Ferengi: He's a demon
Liana: He's a lamb
T'Pol: He'd out pester any pest; drive a horta from its nest
Shran: He sure threw a whirling wrench into our plan
Cutler: He is gentle; He is wild
Natalie: He's a riddle; He's a child
Reed: He's a headache
Ah'Len: He's an angel
ARCHER: He's my man...
ALL: How do solve a problem like Trip Tucker?
Another decon and we'll all succumb!
How do you find the word that means Trip Tucker?
Phlox: A-nose-like-a-ski-jump,
Hoshi & T'Pol: blueunderwearing,
Reed: yum!!
ALL: He's always the first to leave the ship for missions
Engineering he ought to understand
ARCHER: But how can I make him stay?
Reed: And listen to all you say?
Princess: How do I keep him sitting on my hand?
ALL: Oh how do you solve a problem like Trip Tucker?
Better make sure he somehow takes command! (Archer: Hey!)
My Favorite Things
SONG
Sweet Hoshi Sato and all her neuroses
Too-cheerful Phlox and his happy prognoses
My buddy Travis patiently waiting
These are a few of my favorite things
Swimming with Malcom and Rocky Road ice cream
How he says "Stinky" when he has that weird dream
Getting chewed out for a shuttlepod ding
These are a few of my favorite things
T'Pol in that white suit and painful neck pinches
Reading her email and causing her flinches
The look on Jon's face when I said "It's a fling"
These are a few of my favorite things
A purring warp engine and Jon with his shirt off
Suggestive remarks and the way they make him cough
A blue cotton package -- makes my heart sing
These are a few of my favorite things
chorus:
When Silik bites
When Soval stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
