"Lower Decks Keep It Movin'" Video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru6tmzzlA2Y
I haven't done a new "Star Trek" song since 2009. But today, to show my love and support for the hilarious animated comedy series "Star Trek: Lower Decks" leading into their 5th season premiere on October 24th on Paramount Plus, I am proud to present an original song three-and-a-half years in the making, "Lower Decks Keep It Movin'". The powers that be at Paramount decided that the 5th Season is to be Lower Decks' last. But if there is one thing you can count on regarding the past 58 years of Star Trek fandom, it's that we won't quit without a fight! (ahem, watch "Prodigy" on Netflix!) Henceforth the #SaveLowerDecks online campaign was born. I hope the Lower Decks fans out there will consider this song (and it's accompanying fan-video linked below) an anthem song for the #SaveLowerDecks campaign, and that everyone will share it far and wide online, so we can show the suits at Paramount that we want between 2 and 12 more seasons of the show, at least.
Lyrics and lead vocals - Ensign Luke Ski, U.S.S. Burbank, head morale officer
Music and Mixing - Chief Engineer Professor Shyguy
Video Editing - Science Officer Lieutenant Zach Hurst
The U.S.S. Burbank Glee Club vocalists: Devo Spice, Tony Goldmark, Lindsay Smith, Grant Baciocco, Steve Goodie, Chuck Gonzalez, Jace McClain, Julia Ami, Stephen Smith, Ross Childs, Bad Beth, Drumbot, Toiley T. Paper, & a hologram of the late Admiral Judy Tenuta.
Also to commemorate this occasion, I have put together a digital compilation on my Bandcamp page of all of my "Star Trek" songs titled "Laugh Long And Prosper" featuring the new Lower Decks track, all of them for your listening and potential purchasing approval (remember your Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition). The compilation is also available to listen to for free as a Spotify Playlist.
So, live long and prosper, please share the song and video online, and please watch and help #SaveLowerDecks!

I love the energy of the FUMP here. After Devo's tour de force with his cover of What's Up Spock, Luke had to make this in order to say:
HEY LOOK EVERYBODY, i'VE STILL GOT IT!!!
Mission accomplished.
