Here is another filk (?) for the collection. But first, a word of explanation.
There is a man alive today who goes by the name Voltaire. He is a musician and a writer of comic books, and his work is usually based out of the Goth subculture. But he has also released an EP making fun of
Star Trek.
One of the songs on
Banned on Vulcan is called "The USS Make [rule8] Up". You can hear it at:
http://www.voltaire.net/mp3/Voltaire-The_USS_Make-S***-Up.mp3 (You will have to replace the asterisks.) You can get the melody from that, and you Trekkers will probably find it funny anyway.
I thought this would practically write itself as far as conspiracy theories go. Enjoy.

The WWW Make S*** Up Lyrics
Based on a song by Voltaire
Well, I was surfing on the Internet, clicking on the mouse,
Protected by the Faraday cage I built around my house,
When I found a truthy website from well beyond the pale.
A ghost story for grown ups, a lucrative tall tale.
Bust a move, ZOG.
I dug a little deeper, and I soon found out the truth
About that nine-eleven, with phat beats for the youth.
A hundred thousand downloads was too good to ignore.
A viral marketing phenom built on non sequitor.
And I say,
Flash an upward fusion beam off the tinfoil satellite dish
That’s the way we do things, lad, we're making s*** up as we wish
The Neocons and Freemasons pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some s*** up
The trailblazing writers past have showed us all the way
With many books on Jews, Illuminati, J.F.K.
The built-in C.T. market will win you a fine book deal.
Just C.Y.A. with weasel words. Who cares if it’s not real?
And if you're at a party and you want to sound astute
Just make some pointed “question” claims that no one can dispute.
Impress people with obscure facts on thermite, grassy knolls,
International bankers, or Satan stealing souls.
And I say
Flash an upward fusion beam off the tinfoil satellite dish
That’s the way we do things, lad, we're making s*** up as we wish
The Neocons and Freemasons pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some s*** up
And though he's just a child, and some think him a twit
Jason is the master when it comes to making up some s***.
And if you want a truth expert, to Alex you must go.
He’ll rail about the gummint shills and N.W.O.
Well, I was once in England, where I listened to a speech.
David spoke of lizardmen, to warn us he’d beseech.
I thought I’d seen this show before, and then it dawned on me
It was way back in the eighties when they used to call it "V".
And I say
Flash an upward fusion beam off the tinfoil satellite dish
That’s the way we do things, lad, we're making s*** up as we wish
The Neocons and Freemasons pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some s*** up
We were looking for a cheap way to sell more DVD’s
So we uploaded our movie for the kids to watch for free.
Normally you'd think that that would be wasted expense,
But one quarter of the people’s still a hefty audience
There’s one born every minute, an endless, free supply
Of suckers we can fearmonger to make them buy and buy.
Barnum was a genius, but not even he could see
The marketing potential of a good conspiracy.
And I say
Flash an upward fusion beam off the tinfoil satellite dish
That’s the way we do things, lad, we're making s*** up as we wish
The Neocons and Freemasons pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we're totally screwed but nevermind
We'll pull something out of our behinds, we just make some s*** up
