You can take away my space ship...

You can take away my space suit... 

You can even take away my space lasers... 

But you can never...

ever...

take away my space game.

 

I broke through the carbonite that’s how I got free 

Jabba, back up, because there’s no stopping me 

Post-modern player, sample-tastic. 

Flow’s ekphrastic, I get drastic 

Hey, watch the plastic, yo, I name check 

And leave you drowned in space oobleck 

Player of the future, watch me go! 

Sith girls scream when they hear my flow 

These alien chicks reproduce with spores 

So I go where no MC has gone before 

Hey Fry, look, we can still be friends 

I won’t ask Leela out again. Sci-fi, I try, I fly solo 

Shoot your landspeeder up just like Bolo 

“What’s with Lars, and what’s with his name?” 

Never mind that ish, ‘cause I’ve got space game! 

CHORUS 

Darth Maul can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Boba Fett can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Vader can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Space player blowing up like dynamite

Dr. Smith can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

 

Q can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Even Hal can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Because I’ve got space game and it feels all right

In 2112, all the players play on

Everyone bumps Rush and that “Tom Sawyer” song 

I took the red pill, and high fived Neo 

Hey what should I sample? “If it sells, big deal!” 

Yo Morpheus, look, you’re a real cyber punk 

But your friend Trinity has junk in the trunk

And I’m from Mars, and she’s from Venus

She has ovaries and I have a light saber 

‘Cause I get more play than Captain Kirk

He found out and went berserk like a jealous jerk 

But no puny Vulcan death grip can paralyze me 

I said beam me up Scotty, and then I got free

Princess Leia said that my flows are tight 

So I said I supposed she can spend the night 

A long time ago in a galaxy far away… 

MC Lars got some space age play!

CHORUS 

T1000 can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Magneto can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

 

Even Zod can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

It’s tight, don’t even try to bite, the sci-fi style I incite

Mr. Spock can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

The Wrath of Khan can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

The Borg can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Because I’ve got space game and it feels all right

 

MC Lars: Yo DJ Hal! Bring that beat back 

Hal 9000: I’m sorry Lars, I’m afraid I can’t do that 

MC Lars: So what can you do? 

Hal 9000: I can play this awesome guitar solo

This song is futuristic, so hardcore 

Hey T.S. Eliot! Please shut the door 

Because modernism is so passé 

The postmodern revolution is here to stay 

In the house tonight because of Frank Lloyd Wright 

The bass goes “boom!” like dynamite 

“Yo, Wright was a modernist!” 

Yeah I know that, all right, 

But you can’t rhyme “Bob Venturi’ with “dynamite”

See it’s Guernica Part II when I storm the stage 

I draw fans like Warhol draws soup cans on the page 

Did I say postmodern? Well, that was a lie! 

I’ve been post-postmodern since junior high

CHORUS
Ezra Pound can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Virginia Wolfe can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Joseph Conrad can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

I excite the modern mind like a ray of light

Franz Kafka can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

Wallace Stevens can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

E.E. Cummings can’t stop me (I’m on fire tonight)

I’ve got postmodern game and it feels all right

 

Yes I’m an alien, I come from outer space
Yes I’m an alien, I came to rock this place

And really, who doesn't like a little vampire girl? :)

So. Once opon a time I had an old beat up PC. It's life was in a decline and was soon replaced by a fancy new high end PC at the time. My new PC took any remaining components in that sorry old case and I banished the scraps to the nether regions of my closet. There it sat for six months gathering dust.

This was probably ten years or so ago. I started to get an interest in MAME and old game ROM's. I was playing them on my fancy computer here and there and my roommate at the time had takin a liking to sitting around and playing old skool. As did I. I had an idea, that old computer in the back of my closet still had a usable video card and the motherboard still worked. I also had an extra monitor so, I spend a weekend putting together a little MAME machine that I could hook up to my TV and play some of those ROM's in our living room. Breathed new life in that PC and had many of hours of games from my childhood. Went on for a year till the motherboard went bad. My whole point to this story is that I listened to this song, and it took me back to that period of my life. This is 1337 G33K B3AT - Emulation Station.
