Binary Guys

Binary Guys
A parody of American Pie
Lyrics and sung by Rick Moyer

A numbered title on the show
I can still remember how
A refit of the enterprise computer style
The crew they had to leave yes all
Walk across the Space dock hall
And hang out on the starbase for a while
We left the ship to pasty twins
Dressed in valore with tiny chins
Wesley tried to talk to them
Were they women were they men?
They told us they were bianaries
Worked in pairs and weren't real hairy
But something didn't feel right inside
The day they stole the Enterprise

Chorus:
So My oh my Binary Guys
Had to hide, stole a ride or they could all die
Fooled Picard and Riker In a holodeck high
sayin' Lets go to warp speed and let's fly
Lets go to warp speed and let's fly

So do you remember the look on their face
When the Enterprise shot into space?
Data freaked and Geordie looked concerned
And also the guy that looked like the Captain
Was completely baffled at what happened
They plotted the course to the Binary home world
Well back on the ship things were set
Riker visited the Holodeck
Met a girl that made him dance
The holodeck enhanced
He was number one but all alone
Till he met this girl and played his trombone
To Jazz music with a disco ball
The day they stole the ship

Chorus

It turns out there computer's broke
Yet they are a peculiar folk
Instead of asking they simply take
And with their planet dying nothing live
They use the ship as a big hard drive
To reboot the planet make it alive
And while the guys they hedged their bet
Riker danced with Minnuette
French Speaking with Picard
Distracting thems not hard
And while Speeding at Warp Speed Nine
Making up for borrowed time
A justified thieving crime
The day they stole the ship

Chorus

Picard and Riker recognized the ruse
Questioned Min for some news
She just smiled and told them what she knew
They went up to the Bridge then fast
And found the Binaries crashed
They saw they had to work as a team
And on the planet they sprang to life
The deadened computers turned on their lights
Computer language was spoken
They fixed all that had broken
But when Riker searched just as he feared
His perfect lady disappeared
I think it's why he grew a beard
The day they stole the ship
They were singing

So My oh my Binary Guys
Had to hide, stole a ride or they could all die
Fooled Picard and Riker In a holodeck high
Lets go to warp speed and let's fly
Lets go to warp speed and let's fly (2X)

Always welcome!

I think I've only seen this one once, so it was a fun listen. I am hoping that my wife notices my Amazon wish list when she is shopping for my b-day next month! I want those blu-rays!

PaulECoyote · September 18, 2012, 07:23:40 AM

Hmmm - Bluray Enterprise does look pretty.

I haven't bought or experienced the blu rays at all yet. As I was listening to the podcast and Rico played the Captain's log audio I was stunned. It does sound like a different show, even encoded down to 160 kbps for the podcast.

Thanks for mentioning that Joe. I was wondering if you guys could hear the difference. The audio is really great now on the Blu-Rays. I noticed it right away, even just on my PC audio setup. Sounds and looks so sweet!

Another great episode Rico, I just about remember this episode but I so want to watch it again. I'm starting to think you should be sponsored by Trek as I want to buy all the episodes you talk about. Great stuff :D

just listed to the ep last night. great podcast. when you meantion the air date it remined me of what was going on in my life that same year. gave me a little trip down memory lane. I loved the musucal pardoy of rick moyers, that was cool.

moyer777 · October 01, 2012, 11:37:07 AM

Thanks Red. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I hadn't seen this episode for a long time but after listening to your podcast I want to catch it on Netflix. I had forgotten the story of this except for the Bynars. I was thinking this was the one where the ship was being 'cleaned' and Picard got stuck on the ship. Of course it wasn't.
And yes another great song by Rick. It amazes me how you come up with these!
