- Thread starter Cmdr. Cyrano Buckminster
- Start date
I'll start:
Sittin on Merope 5C (to the tune of Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding)
Sittin' in the Merope sun
I'll be sittin' when the Thargoids come
Watchin' starships fly in
Then I'll watch 'em fly away again
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Lookin' for clues in UP relays
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time
I left my home in LHS 3447
Headed for Merope
Cause the CG goals were boring
And Powerplay wasn't going my way
So, I'm just gonna sit on Merope 5C
Lookin' for clues in UP relays
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time
Looks like, nothin's gonna change
The threadnaught remains the same
I can't do what Michael Brookes wants me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here restin' my bones
But this mystery won't leave me alone
It's 450 light years I've roamed
Just to make this rock my home
So I'm just gonna sit on Merope 5c
Watchin' starships fly away
Sittin' on Merope 5c
Wastin' time.

I'm Flyin' Out (to the tune of Movin' Out by Billy Joel)
Commander Cyrano flies Sothis trade runs
Saving his credits for an Anaconda
Professor Palin left a note on his comms
He said, "Sonny fly out to old Maia"
Oh, but flying too far can get you
Attackackackackackacked
You oughta know by now
Who needs corrosion resistant cargo racks?
Is that you get for your credits?
(Chorus)
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
FDev, if that's movin up then I'm
Flyin' out!
Mmm, I'm flyin' out
Mmm Oh-hoo, uh-huh
Mmmmm
Commander O'Leary is fightin' HazRez
His Vulture was such a contender
Piling up the reputation to become an Elite
Making the NPC's surrender
Then Patch 2.1 made the AI
Maniacacacacacacs
You oughta know by now
If he can't win a fight against a Diamondback
At least he can become a mine tender
(Chorus)
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
FDev, if that's movin up then I'm
Flyin' out!
Mmm, I'm flyin' out
Mmm Oh-hoo, uh-huh
Mmmmm
You should never argue
With mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-michael brookes
You oughta know by now
You can scan Unknown Probes 'til your brain explodes
Is that all you get for your credits?
And if that what FDev has in mind
Yeah if that's what it's all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm
Flyin' out
Mmm, I'm flyin' out
Mmm Oh-hoo, uh-huh
Mmmmm
I'm flyin' out!

And, heck, I'll just post a link to Thu Vu Trong's Youtube channel here, because he seems to have all the cool stuff. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYL7hzkv-ZhUHP5yseRc_A

I've been looking for the Karaoke version of this song but haven't yet found it so I'll post the lyrics.
To the tune "I'm a Truck" by Red Simpson
Elite dangerous parody of I'm a truck
Hello I'm a ship
You've heard songs about space pilots many times their yarns have spun
How they pulled out of Hollos for a twelve hop smugglin' run
Threadin' contact binaries and runnin' from the law
Facin' pirate interdictions like you ain't never saw
You've heard their tales of daring and I think that's just fine
But if you can spare a minute well I'd like to tell you mine
There'd be no space pilots if it wasn't for us ships
No throttle jammin' booster burnin' coffee drinkin' dips
They'll fly their way to glory and ain't that a pip
There'd be no space pilots if it wasn't for us ships
Well there she sits in that refectory drinking coffee and telling lies
Prob'ly tellin' 'em how we evaded that interdiction two systems back
She ought to tell 'em how she got distracted and I shot past the station like an old fashioned bullet on crack.
Or how we smuggled slaves into this rock.
Hadn't been for me redlinin' the temp gauge, we'd a both wound up in the dock.
We're on time she takes the credit, If we're late I get the blame
My FSD a crankin' My thruster's blowin' flame
Pullin' multiples of light, suckin' H-fuel from the tanks
I take her out and bring her back without a word of thanks
So now you've heard my story and ain't that a pip.
There'd be no space pilots if it wasn't for us ships
There'd be no space pilots if it wasn't for us ships
No throttle jammin' booster burnin' coffee drinkin' dips
They'll fly their way to glory and ain't that a pip
There'd be no space pilots if it wasn't for us ships
Look at her sipping coffee and flirtin' with that dandy
And where do you think she left me that's right next to a biowaste carrier (peeUUUUU)
Why couldn't she have put me next to that little blue Asp sittin' over there
Gosh she's got pretty landin' gear and talk about thrusters they're all chromed
Well she'll be coming out in a minute and she'll start runnin' her preflights.
And flippin' my switches.
You know for a quarter ton of H-fuel I'd malfunction the heatsink during flight.
Ha that'd fixed her. I never did like the way she flies me anyhow
Thinks she's God's gift to men and never gives 'em any.
Well I know what she's gonna do now she's gonna take out
The disc of Leslie fish and play it again
I don't know why she don't get an Orson K disc.
