Post #12,884 by tjsinclair 10/11/01 11:04:10 AM Reply	theme song I was a little bugged at first but it's growing on me. I think it's the first ST theme with actual lyrics. What exactly annoys you about it? Tom Sinclair Speaker-to-Suits

Ahhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh! As Spock would sing "Oohhh ohhh ohhh Biter Dregs!" ;) *Picking up the pieces of my broken life.*

Brought a little tear it did. I love those characters. Voyager is deep on emotions, the way NG was deep on adventure, the way that 1stG (now 2nd) was deep on characterization.

Post #13,110 by SpiceWare 10/12/01 10:33:10 AM Reply	Roddenberry wrote them after-the-fact to save money The theme did not originally have lyrics. Roddenberry wrote them so he'd get half the royalty payments instead of having to pay the composer 100% of the royalty. I read about it in one of my Star Trek books - don't recall which one.

I've forgotten how many things work and have been trying to get my mind back together. Just entering Star trek Lyrics can come up with many things, and I don't have the patience to weed through all of them until I find the right one. I get very fustrated really easily now and tend to give up after a few tries. I hope to get better someday. What used to be easy to me, now appears to be almost impossible to do. *Picking up the pieces of my broken life.*

Jacques Servan, 1767
Post #13,471 by static 10/15/01 10:46:09 PM Reply	Dispute. I've seen reproductions in Star Trek books of Roddenberry's lyrics handwritten on handwritten on music. I don't appear to have the relevent book, unfortunately, or I'd be sure. Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"
