On 27th March 2008 Scott aka LtCmdr Youngblood brought to us this wonderfully written song, featuring the crew of New Darwin colony at the time and written from the perspective of new arrival PO3 Kale Dinaa. The tune is based loosely on “Walking In Memphis” by Marc Cohn. Great work Scott! :-)
Put on my new space boots
And I boarded the Valiant
Touched down in the land of the Daliwakans
In the middle of the landing pad
Mister Roddenberry -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I’m a PO third class officer
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in New Darwin!
Walking to the colony center
Walking in New Darwin
Boy I really do feel lightyears better!
Saw the host named Morotai
And Youngblood too
Followed them up to the colony center
And I knew what Dinaa had to do
Now security they are run by Fisher
They like things that go boom
Rahndi’s a pretty little thing
One day gonna wear Fishers ring
Haydon makes sure we all have room.
When I was walking in New Darwin
I was walking to the colony center
Walking in New Darwin
Boy I really do feel lightyears better!
They've got fresh fish on the table
Caught from Lake McKenzie
And Commandant Ji-Ri will be glad to teach you
When you haven't got a degree
But boy you've got a friend in New Darwin
Now Blokpoel knows her science
She is the department Chief
And they brought me down to see her
And I felt great relief --
For next to her
Stood a man that made my day
And I said --
"Tell me are you the Commodore?"
And he said "No, I’m THE Garroway"
Walking in New Darwin
I was walking to the colony center
Walking in New Darwin
Boy I really do feel lightyears better!
Walking in New Darwin
I was walking to the colony center
Walking in New Darwin
Boy I really do feel lightyears better!
Put on my new space boots
And I boarded the Valiant
Touched down in the land of the Daliwakans
In the middle of the landing pad
Touched down in the land of the Daliwakans
In the middle of the landing pad |
