This thread had it's origin in Just Jim's ongoing 'Saga of Emiko Station' (which is far, far from over, and getting further from over even as we speak!) You need to read it. It's ok. I'll wait. Awesome, isn't it? and when Jim intro'd a sinister sentient rover vehicle, KSK was inspired to pen this: _______________________________________________________________________________________ [(included with the author's encouragement...that does count as permission....doesn't it...?) Ohhhh - he's been a mad rover on Bop's rugged shores. Spent all his sanity, gobbling down ore. Now nickel ain't bad but blutonium's best. Blowing up Kerbin t'was only in jest. And it's no, naaaaay, never. No, nay, never no more, Will he be the mad rover On old Bop's rugged shor] ________________________________________________________________________________________ So I proposed we HAD to start a thread in Fan Works of KSP inspired songs! an KSK and Just Jim agreed, it was a great idea. No. seriously, they really did. Honest! Ummm....where'd they go...? oh well.... So.....without further ado....(or would that be much ado about nothing..?) In the town where I was born, lived a Ker-r-bal with mighty brains, And he thrilled us with his plans, to go soar-r-ing in rocket planes, So we built the KSC, and with Doc Von K to set the pace, We collected delta-vee, and we built the first step into space! We all live on the first step into space.... First step into space.....first step into space....(repeat) And our friends have all signed on, many more of them than we've got ships, So we build them night and day, to accommodate that many trips, As we blast into the sky, carried on by our guts and wits, You can't win unless you try, even if you blow yourself to bits! We all live for that first step into space... First step into space.....first step into space...... (repeat) Now the Mun is all we see, and we'll ge-et there.....eventually! Out from home we Kerbals race, on our fir-r-st steps out into space! We all live on our first steps into space.... First steps into space....first steps into space....(repeat as many times as you can get away with.) (sung to a popular song by Paul McKerman performed by the Keebles. I forget the title....) Before anyone says anything, yes I know the second verse contains an instrumental break...but most of us don't travel in the company of a military brass band. It's ungodly how much they eat, and they tend to get inappropriate on long road trips. Just saying.

This song wasn't written by Jeb, it was written by his agent. They had been contracted by the Kerbin government department of propaganda and optimism to create a patriotic video. I don't have the video, just these stills and lyrics, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Jebediah: ♫♪♫♪ I've been, to planets, with no signs of life, ♫♪♫♪♫ ♫♪♫♪ From Duna, to Eve, Dres, Jool and Moho, ♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪♪ But wherever I roam, in the deep depths of space, ♫♪♫♪♪ ♫♪♪♫♪ I still call old Kerbin home. ♫♪♫♪♫♪ ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪ Jebediah: ♫♪♫♪ I'm always flying, I love being free, ♫♪♫♪♪ ♫♪♫♪ And so I keep leaving the dirt and the sea. ♫♫♪♫♪ ♪♪♪♫♫ But though, my heart lies, with the sun, mun and stars , ♪♫♫♪♪ ♪♫♪♪♪ I still call old Kerbin home. ♫♫♪♪♪ ♫♫♪♪♪♪♫♫♪♪♪♪♪♫♫♫♪♪♪♫♫♪♪ Choir: ♫♪♪♫♪ All the brave explorers, flying 'round the sun, ♫♪¢♪♫♪♪ ♪♪♪ Away from their family and friends. ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♫But as outer space gets deeper, and colder, ♪♪♪♫♪♪ ♪♪♫♫♪♪ It's good to know, where your journey ends. ♪♪♫ ♪♪♪♪♫♪♪♪♫♪♫♫♪♪♪♫♪♪♪♪♪♫♫♪♫♪♪♫♪♫♫♫♪♪♫♪♪♪♪♪♫♫♫♫ ♪♪♪♪♫♪♪♪♪♪♪♫♫♫♫♪♪♪♫♫♫♫♫♪♪♪♪♫♪♫♫♪♪♫♫♫♫♪♫♫♫♪♪ Choir: ♪♪♫♫And someday, we'll all be, together once more, ♪♪♫♫ ♫♫♪♪♫ When all the spaceships come back to the floor. ♫♪♪♫ ♪♫♪♫♪ I'll realize, something, that I've always known, ♪♫♫♫♪ ♪♪♫♫♪♪ I still call old Kerbin home. ♫♪♫♪♫♪ All: ♪♫♪♪♫ But no matter, how far, in deep space I roam, ♪♫♪♪ Choir: ♪♫♪♫♪ I still call old Kerbin, ♪♫♪♫ Jebediah: ♪♪♫♪♪ I still call old Kerbin, ♪♪♫♫♫ ♪ All: ♪♫♪♫♪♫«I stiiiill, caaall old Ker-bin, home! ♪♫♪♫♫♫♪♫ There. Now if that doesn't get your kerbals feeling inspired, there's something wrong with them. This idea randomly came to me yesterday. As you might not know, I'm parodying this: Apologies to QANTAS, Peter Allen, and the Australian Girls Choir and National Boys Choir. Other kerbal parody songs by me: Six White Boosters What do we do with a Drunken kerbal? 'Twas the night before 0.22... (poem) Aussie Kerbal Jingle Bells Space Lightning
