moving over here is a very good idea, Bev!

"more folksy"... "less artsy"... I had to add it to my (theInterzone) YouTube favourites - thank you!

don't know the Vampire Club, but I know the 70's Hammer Studios classics, Christopher Lee was one of my childhood heroes, and vampires were cool... not as cool as aliens, though...

now, how about this one:

Wow, Interzone, that creates a mood. I have to admit I find high voices a little on the shrill and piercing side (even my own--if I record my voice for anything I usually try to lower the pitch with Audacity and doctor it as much as possible), but that is me. It was a cool song.

I just love Voltaire (the guy who sings Vampire Club) and I like a lot of "FILK" music. It matches my sense of humor as a rule. Voltaire has some classics like the "Make some sh*t Up" one about Star Wars ("Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish, that's the way we do it lads, making stuff up as we wish..."). Here is an even more "raw" filk song (but I love the lyrics). Rich Fantasy Lives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tJU9w6_YkI

that was a nice one, Bev, I do like the lyrics, indeed - I won't be surprised if some of it pops up in Quazgaa'a script

still wandering what's the sign language for "hyper-space drive"... didn't quite catch it

this one is somewhat on a surreal side, I'm curious to hear what you make of it. check out a guest appearance by Vetinari at 03:58!

<+1>Repent! Repent! For the start of the world is nigh!<0><0>

Father Peter has told me that this instantiation of Reality will be ending on Wednesday, when the Large Hadron Collider fires up, and turns the earth's core into a quasar (with attendant strangelet brane-foam, and a few brown holes thrown in for good measure.)

But don't panic. At least you still have time to check out one last Youtube video:

Don't worry about the end of the world though - the next one's going to be a whole<0><0> lot more fun

DARN it's no longer available! I think Wednesday is a good day to end the world, Monday would have been better.
I did find it here

Interzone,

TY (and also TY for not mentioning I typed star wars instead of star trek--my brain is defective). this one was funny and had a nice deep voice! Success is 60 seconds away.

BJ hee hee- Oh yah. I'm about to drop some particle...physics.

I take back all the crap I said about peer review journals. When is someone going to make a rap video about the PF engine? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjrASzgrt4c&feature=related The more I think about it, the more I think all dissertations should be sung instead of defended. Let them defend on Youtube. That's challenging.

DARN it's no longer available! <0>

That's odd - it's still available for me. Maybe Youtube.ca has IP issues with some of the content out there?
But at least you found it in the end

I will have to check that out. Weird.

how about the end of the worldview, instead?

That is such a good idea!
I can't sing or dance, but if anyone writes one and would like some bagpipes in the background...

Yeah, the world would benefit greatly from more music - even rap

Hell, if my physics teacher had been this funny, I might not have ended up reading Politics at Uni:
