Song Parodies -> We are the Borg
| Original Song Title: | "We are the World" |
| Original Performer: | Michael Jackson/USA for Africa |
| Parody Song Title: | "We are the Borg" |
| Parody Written by: | Steven Cavanagh |
A song about joining together as one was just too easy. The original song doesn't rhyme at all apart from the chorus, so I thought I'd sacrifice some 'pacing' score for better flow.Warning: Chorus can get stuck in head.
There has come a time
When the Federation falls
and we all will join together as one
See your people dying
Oh, and give in to our demands
And plug, yourself into the wall
You can't go on, pretending day by day
That your species can exist so wild and free
We disintegrate whatever's in our way
And resistance is futility
(Chorus:)
We are the Borg
We're a collective
And you will all be part of us one day,
It's our objective
There's a choice you're making
You'll join us or you'll die
And you will see a better way,
No "you" and "me"
We'll cut out your heart
And install a pump for free
and give you gadgets instead of hands.
Then you'll be a part of
our big family
And it won't, be hard to open cans
We are the Borg
We're a collective
And you will all be part of us one day,
It's our objective
There's a choice you're making
You'll join us or you'll die
And you will see a better way,
No "you" and "me"
BRIDGE:
No, there's no way out
You will become a drone
Your distinctiveness
Is added to our own
Well, well, well, now realize
You'll like it if you try
a little laser on your eye
We are the Borg (We are the Borg!)
We're a collective (We're a collective!)
And you will all be part of us one day,
It's our objective!
There's a choice you're making
You'll join us or you'll die
And you will see a better way,
No "you" and "me"
( REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )

**Lowers his shields, surrender a distinct 555 and a shameless self promotion of his own old Borg parody song: http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/neworder0.shtml**
Good choice surrendering purity for flow, in my opinion. 5/5/5
You are such a nerd :-D
Good job Steven
Great parody, but in case you haven't noticed, both Picard and Janeway have whipped some nanotechnological booty! And not just in their own century! (I hear rumors to the effect that even Archer has, though records from that time are sketchy.)
Gee Rice, you could have been tactful and said I had my Finger On The Pulse Of Popular Culture :-)
Great to see a Star Trek parody in the midst of all this Star Wars blashphomy :-) Great job, insanly hilarious!
This is frikkin' great, I love it!
(ABC) DKTOS Good read...You have any music on it?
(ABC-W) Fav. line:
And it won't, be hard to open cans
Love Trek parodies especially Borg ones.

(ABC-W) I've got a mental picture of a bunch of Borg holding hands in a circle. Twisted and excellent.
Borgy Nights! Transmitting 555GB of kudos.
What do you call 10,000 drones playing piano? Victor Borg! (Just made that up)
(ABC) You have given it all she's got, Captain! 555
Ten minutes in the agony booth for that pun, Mr. Duncan. But try not to laugh at this? Resistance is futile!
Borg philosophy although logical is quite irregular.
Well done, Steven.
(ABC) See above! ;-)
ABC--great job, Steven!
(ABC) Oh! It's a Star Trek thing... (never watched a single episode). But nice parody.
Very nice! A few minor timing glitches I noticed, but not enough to prevent me from 5ing you.
Merry! Absolute shame on you! You really don't know what you have missed out on, especially with the Borg. They would be right up your alley, sadism-wise....
Now, the parody: First place Steven, great job, laughed a lot.

Great stuff Steven. Loved the chorus and the part about opening cans especially.
Excellent job Steve, great choice of songs
(ABC W) Well, Steve, I didn't get "bor(g)ed" reading this one...Collectively we have decided to score this as straight "5's" - I didn't have any real problem with the pace and the OS had different pacing where many of the separate parts were sung a bit in the style of whichever performer bleated them out...nice work...OH...yeah, the part about the "cans" was particularly funny...
Thanks guys. Wish I had you all in a room with a mike so we could record it :-)
Classic!! I can't wait to see the video..hehehe! 555

Sorry, Stevenagh, but "We Are the World" is too obscure for me. Please pick a more recognizable song next time.
Heh heh. Nice job. I'm not really into the Star Trek thing, but I live in Utah, so I totally get this.

(ABCfinals) In retrospect, I realize that this is the only ABC round I participated in last year. This parody is a fond revisit for me because it hasn't lost it's humor value, and it showed me that losing in an AmIRight parody contest is just as fun as winning. :-)
