SFDebris is always wonderful, but yesterday he excelled himself with a parody of the Ballad of the Green Beret at the end of his Watergate (Stargate SG-1) review. Jump to 13:35 in the video.

Make it So – Debs & Errol
I was thinking “am I really going to post a ‘Let It Go’ parody?” Apparently I am. It’s Debs & Errol, so I guess it’s okay.
Just this once.
Make it So – Annwn
The website claims “No, really, it’s not slash fiction about the decade’s favorite science fiction show. Honest.” but I…I don’t see what else it could be…
Performed by Mark Ungar, Leigh Ann Hussey, and Elton (as far as I can tell, he’s just called Elton)

My Spock – Jackson Lanzing
You can put me down as “always skeptical about nerd rap” but okay okay, “My heart’s like my planet, a black hole of red granite” is a really good line, and both the song and video here are very well done.
“My Spock,” by Jackson Lanzing, to the tune of “My Shot,” from Hamilton, lyrics available here
Duet with a Klingon – Carla Ulbrich
“Duet with a Klingon,” by Carla Ulbrich, with Dan Hart as the Klingon
A touching song about interspecies love and communication. Apparently, Dan Hart actually speaks Klingon fluently.

Demon in the Dark – Kathy Mar
I cry for the lost broken children
I weep for the last dying spark
And if only you could weep for the children
You would not call me demon in the dark
“Demon in the Dark,” by Kathy Mar. I don’t really know what this is about, besides killing children, but I like it. The song. Not killing children. I swear.
USS Make Shit Up – Voltaire
USS Make Shit Up – Voltaire
Here you go, captaindeanwatson – this is the song I was talking about!
Probably the most accurate Star Trek song ever written.
Farewell, Mother Russia – Debra Sanders & Kathy Mar
“Farewell, Mother Russia,” a song for Pavel Chekov, by Debra Sanders and Kathy Mar (I don’t actually know who’s singing it here, though there’s a list of people it could be on the youtube page)
