Do You Want to Beam Me Up
Skirmish: Star Trek (@dotsandlines)Liner Notes
#lyricsonly #edm Star Trek? I got nothing. Oh, wait! Can I do a dance floor song?
Lyrics
[verse 1] It’s been a long day with the intelligent life Days like this can be draining I’m an engineer not a diplomat Even if I’ve taken the training
[verse 2] It’s supposed to be a class M planet That’s just where we always are The truth is I’m ready for night life Maybe at another star
[chorus] Do you want to beam me up Do you want me on your deck tonight I’m standing by with my communicator Ready to board that flight If you want to beam me up
[verse 3] This has been a hard day’s work To represent the Federation Permission to speak freely I wish I’d never left the station
[chorus] Do you want to beam me up Do you want me on your deck tonight I’m standing by with my communicator Ready to board that flight
Do you want to beam me up Do you want me on your deck tonight I’m standing by with my communicator Ready to board that flight If you want to beam me up

I second @mhorning's comment! Perfection. It makes me thing of McCoy, Scotty AND Dr. Bashir DS9!
Love: Permission to speak freely I wish I’d never left the station
Why not dance music? I have no doubt a lot of Starfleet officers like this one would appreciate it. Bonus points for "I’m an engineer not a diplomat". Good skirmish!
I'm going to be so completely honest, I've never really watched a lot of Star Trek, so I'm sure I'm not getting all of the references lol. But I really like the way the song flows and it's almost vague enough that I could still listen to it as-is and enjoy it. I don't hear EDM though-- I actually think this sounds like something an early 2000s male pop punk band would have written. I'd love to hear that version if anyone wants to give it a try. Either way though, I'd love to hear it as a dance track too! :D
