"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

We need more! More FS type parodies of songs! Only ones I can think of sor far are this and The Devil Went Down to Freespace.

any musical can provide good parody fodder, think about Paint Your Wagon, or the sound of music.

"The Nebula's alive, with the sound of Shivans" and so on.

Fiddler on the beam cannon...
well, there is the shivan pie...

A long, long time ago, I can still remember
how dead Vasudans used to make me smile
and I knew if I had my chance
that I could push the damn Zods back
and maybe we would win the war after all
but January made me shiver
with every briefing they'd deliver
bad news from the front lines,
I couldn't believe my own eyes
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about the loss of lives
but something touched me deep inside,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
So...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Apollo to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

You know they wrote a book of blood
So you better pray to your god above,
cause they're coming to destroy your home
and do you believe we stole the code
to make shields of our very own
and can you teach me how to track them through the nodes?
Well we knew they were going to Vasuda
cuz you scanned them and made off gouda
We all knocked off the Eva
Cause she was a danger
And the Lucifer attacked with luck
destroying the Galatea like it a toy truck
and we all knew we were out of luck,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
I started singin...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Medusa to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

Now for 32 years we've been on our own
A generation without a home
but that's not how it used to be,
when some Vasudans landed on Altair
they found a buried Ancient lair
and found the secrets to win with flair
oh and as the Lucifer looked down,
we ran off with the secret of it's crown
the tech room was a buzz
As the Bastion was ordered to the cause
and while the Shivans headed for our home
we attacked while in the node
and destroyed it and our way home
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
We were singin...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Hercules to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

Helter Skelter the NTF swelters
Bosch flew out of his asteroid shelter,
activating the Knossos real fast,
and the Shivans came out with a blast
and we got lost in the nebula gas
with the Colossus on the sidelines in a cast,
now the Sathantas was big and mean
so we worked together as a team
and the two great ships danced
and the Colossus won by chance
oh but the Shivans had just taken the field
but the GTVA refused to yield
then Bosch's plan was revealed,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
We started singin...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Persus to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

Oh and there we were all in one place,
a generation lost in space
with but one chance to start again,
but the Shivans just poured through the node
And we went into retreat mode
because 80 juggernauts aren't our friends
oh and as we watched them take the stage,
our hands were clinched in fists of rage,
we could only close the nodes, to keep them from our homes
and as the Colossus went up in a ball of light
the Sathantas' blew up Capella alright
I thought I saw Bosch laugh with delight,
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
He was singin...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Erinyes to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

I met an officer who sang the blues
and I asked her for some happy news
but she just smiled and turned away,
I went to the Command for more
for that's where I had heard all the news before
and the man there said Capella had been blown away
and among the stars the Shivans screamed,
the Vasudans cried, and the Terrans dreamed
but not a word was spoken,
the jump nodes all were broken
and of the three ships that I think are keen,
the Galatea, Bastion, and Aquitiane
All but one was blown to smithereens
the day, the Shivans, arrived.
and they were singin...

Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my Ares to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die,
this will be the day that they die."

They were singin...
Die, die, you dirty Shivan die
flew my fighter to the battle
just to make sure they fried
an I heard Alpha One
Go screaming by
sayin' "This will be the day that they die."





it's by eishtmo, by the way.
