DAMMIT! The Original Star Trek Theme Song Has LYRICS!!!! |
|
Edited on Sun Aug-28-11 04:09 PM by Archae
Bit of a copycat...
But yes, Gene Roddenberry wrote "lyrics" for the original Star Trek theme tune so he could cash in on the Alexander Courage tune also.

Beyond The rim of the star-light My love Is wand'ring in star-flight I know He'll find in star-clustered reaches Love, Strange love a star woman teaches. I know His journey ends never His star trek Will go on forever. But tell him While he wanders his starry sea Remember, remember me.
Roddenberry supposedly wrote them after Alexander Courage wrote the music just so he could split the residuals.

7. Well, sure, that make sense |
|
The mirror universe being essentially Bizarro World for Star Trek fans. Since the orginal theme sucked, all they had to do for Mirror Universe is come up with a good theme...

11. As did the Dick Van Dyke Show |
|
I was listening to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" this weekend, and they played a re-run of Dick Van Dyke on their "Not My Job" segment. Just as they were going away, Mo Rocca hummed the theme from the Dick Van Dyke Show, and Van Dyke said, "That song has lyrics, you know. Would you like to hear them?"
Good lord, yes! And so:
THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW THEME SONG (Music by Earle Hagen / Lyrics by Morey Amsterdam) Dick Van Dyke
So you think that you've got troubles? Well, trouble's a bubble, So tell old Mr. Trouble to "Get lost!".
Why not hold your head up high and, Stop cryin', start tryin', And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed.
When you find the joy of livin' Is lovin' and givin' You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed.
A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down, So smile, and that frown will defrost. And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed!
