Any sci fi fans out there? This is for you! ‘Drones and Holograms’ by Loudhailer Electric Company. Our tribute to our favourite sci fi show, Star Trek Voyager with Seven of Nine and my favourite starship leader, Captain Janeway.
Filmed one day last week when with new songs at the ready we were all dressed up and no place to go. But fear not! Admiral Bunting to the rescue. So here we are down at O’Rileys where we put on a show … with no audience. But fear not! Sydpix to the rescue, he brought his video camera.
Come with us for an adventure on the holodeck …
I can hear your thoughts that’s me in your Kingdom
I can be the Borg Queen I can see your dream
Do you like to resist or do you want to be a drone boy
Can’t make it on your own boy, find perfection in ‘We are Borg’ and
I can hear the voices of your sisters and your brothers
You’re a Cargo Bay homeboy, hangin’ out with all the others
I can hear your thoughts that’s me in your Kingdom
I can even be Seven of Nine or would you rather be free – yeah free yeah!
Come with me to my imagination
Come on with me to the Holodeck station
You can be anybody you want I’ll be Janeway on the bridge
You can do it your own way with Da Vinci machine-way
If you know what I mean-way
If you know what I mean, if you wanna be seen!
Yeah join my band and be one of my space crew
Yeah join my band and get a big kinda Bridge view
Of the delta quad vision choose your own away mission
Fly a shuttle through deep space take a ship to the stars
Swash buckle me babe in the land of the pirates, take me up in your galleon
Fight your own fight standing on your own deck landing
On your very own M Class,
You can be anybody you want I’ll be Janeway on the bridge
You can do it your own way with Da Vinci machine-way
If you know what I mean-way
If you know what I mean, if you wanna be seen!
Yeah join my band and be one of my space crew
Yeah join my band and get a big kinda Bridge view
But ah, will we ever get home?… Will we ever get home?
