Romulan Radio (with apologies to Stan Ridgway)

[Dusty Ayres]

Romulan Radio (sung to the tune of 'Mexican Radio' by Stan Ridgeway and Wall Of Voodoo)


(The time frame of this song is the Romulan War [22nd Century] using the ship designs seen at the website The Starfleet Museum. The character in the song is a communications officer on board a communications ship listening to Romulan military AND civilian subspace communications.-Dusty)

I hear a strange sound hit my eardrums
And the strain of military rhythms
I press the button and check the frequency number
I pay attention and don't ever slumber
I hone in on a specific frequency
Listening to what's going on with the enemy
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what do they say?

I'm on a Romulan radio!

I'm on a Romulan - whoa - radio!

I listen to figure out military information
They talk about the UES fleet formation
I understand just a little
'No comprende', it's a riddle

I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio!
I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio!

I wish I was back on Earth, in Cancun
Lying in the sun and listing to some great tunes
I'd take it easy, and go slow-
Just listening to Mexican radio!
I hear a strange sound hit my eardrums
And the strain of military rhythms
I hear a conversation as it plays
Trying to understand what it really says?

I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio!
I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio!

Radio radio... Radio radio... Radio radio...

I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio!
I'm on a Romulan radio-
I'm on a Romulan, whoa-oh, radio...

Radio radio... Radio radio... Radio radio...

Radio radio...(What does that message say ?) Radio radio... (fade out)
