Bad - Whacko Jaxxon
Posted: Fri May 29, 2015 4:27 am
Something for the Pop crowd (probably not a huge following 
)
…and that was the smooth sounds of Space1999 Eagles with one of their all-time classics on Jameson 2084.oo4, Lave’s favourite sub-aether comm’s station. I’m the Milky Way Kid and this is the late shift. Coming up: The biggest hit of ’87, from an artist who once gave Hotblack Desiato tax evasion and fashion tips. First though a quick update on what’s new and innovative from around the Ooniverse.
The big announcement of course is the imminent release of the ‘One-point 82’ virus: Galcop’s solution to the military AI technology stolen last year, causing the biggest single surge in successful pirate activity the Eight has seen since its inception. New pilots are lauding the move, but some of the more experienced commanders out there are still wondering what all the fuss is about. Concurrent with the release comes a long-awaited reorganisation of Galcop’s traffic control database, finally giving commanders access to Aegis traffic information. The Commanders Collective thanked PHKB Consultants for all their implementation efforts.
And now a word from one of our sponsors, the designers of Towbarccl: Need a utility for the bigger trader; try Escort Deck. Sick and tired of getting picked on by bigger and bigger pirate fleets? Then why not bring your own. Compatible with most small and medium escort craft. Escort Deck – for a more secure deal in the space lanes.
In the second half of last century, a small boy fronted the hugely successful band of brothers, Jaxxon’s Tribe, repopularising Space Soul and the New Motown sound with hits like A.S.P, Rocket Robin and Blame It On The Docking. Towards the end of the century, the Tribe’s lead singer carved out a galactic solo career that ultimately ended in his tragic loss. Following on from his seminal album, Thriller (whose title track revolutionised music holovid production), here’s the title track from what is arguably his best work
Bad – Whacko Jaxxon
Your cargo’s mine, gonna comm you plain
When you fly your ship down the system’s lane
I'm telling you, I’m no common spiv
Just drop your load and I’ll let you live
Come on, come on, drop ‘em for me
All right...
I'm giving you on count of three
To dump your stuff, or try to flee...
I'm telling you, just watch your back
You play my game, and I won’t attack
[PreChorus]
Well they say space is the limit
And for me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I blast you...
[Chorus]
Because I'm bad, I'm bad - come on
(Bad bad – really pirate bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad - you know it
(Bad bad - really pirate bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad - come on, you know
(Bad bad - really pirate bad)
[PostChorus]
And the Ooniverse can answer right now
When I ask you once again,
Who's bad...
The word is out; that I’m doin' wrong
Gonna hunt me down before too long,
Until that time, gonna tell you right
So listen up, don't try to fight,
Your comms are jammed, and you’re outgunned
You're missile launch’ll be ECMed
[PreChorus]
And your shields will reach their limit
I’ll drill your hull right through
Your E-banks all depleted
Before I’m blasting you...
[Chorus]
[PostChorus]
(dm) Woo! (dm) Woo! (dm) Woo!
(And the Ooniverse can answer right now
When I ask you once again...)
[Instrumental]
[PreChorus]
You can change the ‘verse tomorrow
This could be a safer place
If you don't like what I'm doin'
Then don’t haul out in space...
[Chorus]
[PostChorus]
They can bring their Asps, they can bring their Kraits
They can hunt me down, it’ll be too late
They can hunt me
(They can hunt me once again)
[Chorus]
And the Ooniverse has to answer right now
(And the Ooniverse has to answer right now)
When I ask you
(When I ask you once again...)
Who's bad?
