Some sample lyrics - LOOKS NEATO!

The Ballad of Joss

tune by Ben Edlund

lyrics by James Hazlerig

Joss, the man they call Joss . . .

CHORUS:

He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores,

Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for.

Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--

The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss!

Joss saw the viewers' hearts breakin',

He heard the Browncoats' lament,

He saw Fox management takin',

His show in a way that made no sense.

(He said) "You can't do that to my program,

Can't grind it under your heel."

So he took all his cast, and now at last,

They've landed a Big Damn Movie deal!

CHORUS

Now, here is what separates Firefly

From other shows you're likely to see:

It's meaningful and witty, and the setting's really gritty,

And the theme song's about Serenity.

It's a little like a western, (hyah!)

And a little like X-Files,

It's better than Trek, and it's funnier than Shrek,

And it beats out Andromeda by miles!

CHORUS

FIDDLE AND BLUES GUITAR BREAK

Now here is what separates Whedon,

From writers who slave in the core:

The man they call Joss, well, he said to Fox,

"I'm going where no show has gone before."

He told us about reavers,

He told us about sin,

He took us to the black, and we ain't comin' back,

'till all those crazy Browncoats rise again!

CHORUS

Seems they do some origionals inspired, and some filks of what is *official*.

I have not listened to the samples yet - once I can I will post again. I hope that you guys can! :-)

Yes, yes and yes.

I've heard of them. I've met them on more than one occasion and I own 2 of their CDs, one of them being On the Drift. I like it very much. Their music has a Renn Faire kind of feel, very fun, and they're both talented musicians. Pick it up! It's worth it!

And if you ever get to the opportunity to hear them play life, take it!

I own On The Drift which is a lot of fun. It'll be interesting to see them in December. I'm kinda hoping they'll be big burley men with beards. Because that's what I imagine when I listen to the music.

An I carried such a torch.......For the Dark Lord
