Banned on Vulcan (2001) is an EP by the dark cabaret/darkwave artist Voltaire. It was released in 2001 by PlanetGrey Records,[1] then re-released later that year by Projekt Records. Voltaire is a great fan of Star Trek, frequently attending conventions. All four tracks on this album relate to it, and mention characters, places, and situations from the show.[2][3]
[edit] Track listing
- "Worf's Revenge (Klingon Rap)"
- A gangsta rap-esque song celebrating the character Worf, a Klingon who first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation, extolling his physical strength and sexual prowess, referencing his on-screen romances with Deanna Troi and Jadzia Dax.
- "The U.S.S. Make Shit Up"
- A song about treknobabble, Star Trek's tendency to use borderline nonsense to explain away technical details. It describes every series from The Original Series to Voyager. A live version of this song also appears on Voltaire's live album, Live!, and includes a "bonus verse" dealing with Enterprise.
- "The Sexy Data Tango"
- Using numerous double entendres and similar sexual innuendo (such as "Warp core manifolds" and "Jefferies tube"), "The Sexy Data Tango" is a tango that describes Data's sexual encounters with Tasha Yar, and describing him as "fully functional and anatomically correct". A live version of this song also appears on Voltaire's live album, Live!.
- "Screw the Okampa! (I Wanna Go Home)"
- "Screw the Okampa! (I Wanna Go Home)" is a humorous lament from the Delta Quadrant, where the crew of the USS Voyager were stranded for seven years, as shown during the events of Star Trek: Voyager. The song is sung to the tune of the folk standard "Sloop John B".
