Big Damn Trilogy
(Hear it: http://mp3-postcards.com/listen/?1010 )
Chorus:
Trilogy, O trilogy, I want my trilogy,
Don’t stop at one, don’t stop at two,
Gorramit, gimme three!
Trilogy, O trilogy, that’s what I want to see,
Someday I’ll own a boxed set
Of that Big Damn Trilogy!
They said we couldn’t do it,
They said our show should die,
They took our love, they took our land,
They cancelled our Firefly.
But one thing they didn’t reckon,
in our fan psychology:
Browncoats carry Greenbacks,
And we want our trilogy!
CHORUS
KAZOO AND BOWED PSALTERY BREAK
CHORUS
They say the best things in this ‘verse,
Always come in threes,
Musketeers and stooges,
LOTR DVDs.
When a show’s got ships and shepherds,
The Alliance and Blue Sun,
And Gina and Jewel and Morena and Summer,
It’s too pretty to stop at one!

I loved hearing this one at Dragon*Con. Bring on the BDT.

So that even folks on dial-up can hear it, the streaming version is very low-fidelity. However, if you click on Spread the Signal and send the postcard to three friends, you can download a CD-quality mp3 of the song.
Enjoy!

It might be done by Boare's Heade, but unfortunately we won't be attending the feast. We were booked to do a wedding that weekend nearly a year ago.
Take care,
Cedric
