After weeks of discovering all new types of Asian music, and weirdly looking characters, I will try to go back to my roots...

Although I know I never can.

At least not completely.

Every step we take changes our path, and I took many so my path is now a mess of steps going in every direction.

All these steps need time to integrate with my profound taste in music. Many songs will be forgotten, but they will all push me forward, allowing me to discover new territories.

To go where no bald man has gone before....

OOPS

I just opened up a whole new can of Space Worms.

There must be some super cool Star Trek songs out there and it might get my mind out of the creepy pasta Asian tune gutter.

Is there any connection between symphonies & that journey beyond the stars?

ＴａｋｅＭｙＨａｎｄ＆ＴｒｉｐＷｉｔｈＭｅ

The Star Trek Series, a monument of my growing up, and it has it´s own sound. I love this Violent Trip Through Space.

Evolution of Star Trek Series Music Theme (1966-2020)

Beam me up, Scotty. Oh, how this series deserves the fan art and all that more. But instead of beaming up, we can use one of my favorite songs.... Light Em Up!

Fall Out Boy

Before I go totally overboard, oops, that might not be appropriate on a spaceship. But one of the biggest Star Trek songs totally passed me by till I came across it today.

Rihanna - Sledgehammer

The series has been quite smart and serious, but why? ![untitled.gif](Because if you look closer, it is filled with fun.

Data & Picard | Pogo (Star Trek Remix)

Fun right, and this party among the stars has just gotten started.
Now this show is perfect for parodies, and I will do a few, but how far ahead of its time was Mr. Data? He was so fly for an AI!

If you are a fan, you must have noticed this....
If you ever go to a Star Trek Convention...Do Not Wear Red!

Redshirts Die!!

Then there was, of course, the wonderful series of Jean Luc where he had to make t so solo. I loved this series. Such a blast from my past.

Make It So - Star Trek: Picard, Season 3 (Original Series Soundtrack)

But the parody of Make It So might actually be just as good....there is just this one little thing:

Sorry guys, but this isn't available on mobile due to third party content. Your mobile might tell you it's a country thing, but watch it on a desktop and you're good!

Make It So - Let It Go Star Trek Parody

Now, strange new world has this whole musical thing going, but to be hones,t it just felt a little cringey to me...maybe I am wrong, and I did actually kinda enjoy this Spock Song.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - I´m The X (Spock)

Or maybe I am just melancholic, wishing for that one true Spock Song!

No, not that one you foolThis one, did anyone even know this Gem existed???

Leonard Nimoy - The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

Now that song sounds so easy, till I saw her do it...well, that and she is Spanish, and that conductor... more about him soon (as in next week or so).

CLASSICAL SOPRANO surprises audience with STAR TREK | Conductor Rainer Hersch

Yes, she was kinda cute, but in the Star Trek Universe, who was the cutest of them all....
Yes, do you get the picture because here she is!

Tommee Profitt - Here I am

Okay, I admit, my name is WhyWhy, and I am A Nerd
Now, Whop It Klingon Style!

Gotta love the nerds that love Klingons...and well let me explain whywhy...

Or maybe this is why?

Star Trek - Klingon War Song (Epic Orchestral Version

Quite a Musical Species those Klingons....and you gotta love the drama in those lyrics.

Klingon Drinking Song

And I also get why they do not sing in English...

The Jury is still out on this last one, the thinking behind "Where My Heart Will Take Me" (commonly known as "Faith of the Heart"), the original version is Rod Stewart's, and the song is from the Patch Adams soundtrack.

Some of the Enterprise production team felt reminded of early astronauts going into space.
It was hopeful and uplifting, but far more modern, like something astronauts might have listened to in the 1960s and 70s during the space program.

But, as we all know, the reception was almost universally negative. Mainly because of the way to cool Orchestral intros we had been served so far...., but I love all the little memories in the vid.

Now you all probably thought I would play Star Trekkin ' by the Firm to close this show... but let's not be so obvious.

But I prefer to end this show with absolute bullocks...

AAAHHHHHHHHHH

Okay, but just remember you guys are in the wrong show!

What Song to Send my Son

My son started a playlist Stuff For Dad and I will be adding my favorite song to my playlist for him: Songs For My Son!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/12nIvKWCZjLmkCT3P7thTs?go=1&sp_cid=249a4fb78689797bafe6ea0e8c68579c

Every week I have to choose one song and tell you about it. And you Dear Reader tell me your favorite song in the comments, and feel free to try to change my mind.

Damn, I don´t even know if he likes Star Trek, I think he does...he kinda is a nerd like me. So he gotta think it´s cool, but to educate him I gotta tell him to watch the Picard Series.... make it so.

Please try and change my mind!
