Leslie Fish's "Banned from Argo"

[RedwoodTheElf]

This needs a new upload I'm afraid...really choppy

[efecss]

The video and the song seem out of sync when I just viewed it right now. Don't know why... But, most of my videos have been banned in Germany because of possible copyright stuff.  Who knows.

[efecss]

@efecss I can't find a way to complain about this. I am going to look for the video and reload it (Hopefully)

[mechgogo]

Great song too bad it sticks so much. Frustrating as hell

[CortxVortx]

What, did the cassette tape get sticky? Surely someone could run this through a music program to cut out the gaps.

[efecss]

@CortxVortx

Its fine. Granted, not the best, but fine. (For what it is) I plan to redo this when I get a digital copy of the song, and more episodes.

And there was an accident with the tapes and got slightly damaged.

[CortxVortx]

What, did the cassette tape get sticky?

[XCVGVCX]

The poor-quality footage actually works fairly well stylistically, but the music cutting out is REALLY annoying, and almost makes it unwatchable.

If you're gonna party, you must always party hard.

And no one parties harder than Captain James T. Kirk and his crew.

[efecss]

@dwtsf She was on the blooper reel that I took most of the footage from....

[TheMikester307]

I can't fit "LOL!" into this little comment space as much as I want to or as much as this fantastic song and vid deserve!

p.s: Bet this clip is banned in Argo!

[GrigoriZhukov]

@TheMikester307 Heck my atomic sewer sludge chili is banned not just there but all known space adn unknown to! It was twice voted 'less visually appealing than the charles river circa 1970' yet all love the taste, but the out come not so much. ;^) IOW it's purrrrrrfect.

[yetitracker]

good considering what you were working with. love this song!

[SingolloLomien]

Great video. It's really well put together and matches up with the song perfectly.

P.S. Love the Doctor Who clips at 3:41 ; )

[keybladewizard49]

Definitely one of her better songs... although Wobblies From Space (the one about the union man) was pretty good too... and as for her serious songs, there's a soft spot in my heart fo Chickasaw Mountain.

[paxpaul]

I love this video! The mix of clips and song takes me back to the old days of conventions...sigh...the good ol' days!

Thanks for this trek down memory lane! hehe

[crimsonprincess89]

Awesome!!!!

[typacsk]

I was at the bar tonight and this song started running through my head...I took it as a sign that I needed to go home.

[90geekgirl06]

lol I love the ending!

[efecss]

Which one? The one where they're leaving the planet,or the one fromt he blooper.?

[90geekgirl06]

The one from the blooper. xD

[SailorBarsoom]

This has got to be one of the most parodied songs ever.

[efecss]

Parodied, maybe .

Reconstructed versions, definitely...

[FreakyDeakyMia]

LOL DOOHAN AT 0:37

[anariel2000]

hilarious!

[efecss]

Thank you.

[chengloki]

The missing part is "We're sorry 'bout the riots, and the wreckage, and the fuss, at least we know that planet won't be quick, forgetting us" =Stefan=

[weyrdmusicman]

Faved^_^

[knfstarfire]

My parents still have the Vinal record in which this song shows up in :-) I play it rarely as to not wear it out...still makes me smile

[RayneLeFey]

Do a google search for "banned from argo mp3" You'll find it on the first link.

[ohikennedy]

*BG* This was so great to hear (& see)! My Leslie Fish cassette tape (don't recall the title but it had "Horsetamer's Daughter" on it) wore out years ago & I haven't been able to afford to replace it.

Thanks so much for making & sharing this so younger fen can hear some of the fine stuff we old farts "grew up on."

[efecss]

youre welcome. And I sent a copy of this to Ms Fish and she likes it.

Also, she gave me permission to do an animated short for the Horsetamer's Daughter. Still trying to get it going.

[chengloki]

efecs, I have the original tape where she sang "Pirates" not "Klingons". Also, It has the "Ballad of Transport 18", "Raise up the Aft Shields", "Bones", "Security Strike", "Border Patrol", as well as others. =Stefan=

[IoEstasCedonta]

She liked it? I thought she'd come to loathe this song...

[efecss]

She probably does... But, she did it a for a Star Trek documentary done by Denise Crosby.

[cthulee]

I so want to see Horsetamer's Daughter when you get it up. I'm trying to Subscribe to you so I can see when it comes up. Thanks.

[OmegaSeekerr]

"Best you could." That's what Michelangelo said about the Sistine Chapel and Disney said about Fantasia too. It's perfect!

[efecss]

Thank you

[DakotaWRS3]

Shouldn't that be CHRISTINE Chapel ... ? ;)

[DoctorManhattan77]

Great song

Where can I get an mp3?

[efecss]

I'm not sure. You may want to check your search engine to find places that sell FILK songs. That's Folk, with an 'i' instead of an 'o'...

[doctorpsycho1960]

Well done.

I miss being able to request BFA....

[Geliaebrina]

Poor Argo

They'll never get over the shock

[Elelki]

It's great to see -- and hear! -- this, especially for those of us who DIDN'T hear it the first 1,273 times around. We know we daren't say "Can you play Banned From Argo?" but we weren't going to filks back when you COULD sing it! So finally, I know what all the fuss is about.

I think I'm gonna do a search on Mary O'Meara now...

[saintwcf]

Actually, I think it has spawned 1,273 parodies.

[KerrAvonAlpha]

Hey, SoloPilot6, yes Banned is an old and well known song, but efecss has done a damn good job there - we were all newbies once - and I bet your first filk effort wasn't as good s that - I know mine wasn't. well done, efecss - I hope you keep working

[efecss]

Thanks. I even met Leslie Fish, and sent her a copy of this.  She didn't like the repetative clip I used. Well, I didn't have much coice...

But, I got permission from her to do HORSETAMER'S DAUGHTER as an animated music video. If I can record a new vocal track.

[SoloPilot6]

Actually, it WAS, but only by pure luck! ;) And yes, this was good work.

I'm better known as a "Last Verse" kind of guy, adding verses to filks, but before I was FAFIA, I got a pretty decent response to my own meager offerings. These days, I'm so far away from the community that I don't know what half the filks are about! I do credit myself for the title of Leslie's next CD -- though I suggested "Lock and Load with Leslie" and she might have forgotten over the 15 years since then!

[SoloPilot6]

These are only the ORIGINAL verses. There about about 500 KNOWN verses now.  You might be shot for uttering the words "Banned from" when it's your turn to pick songs at a filksing. They will kill you RAPIDLY, so that you're not able to get the whole title out as an official request. Even dead, your choice still applies . . .

[RedwoodTheElf]

You've got a soundtrack skip around 4:40. The whole line is "We're sorry 'bout the wreckage and the riots and the fuss, but at least we're sure that planet won't be quick forgetting us!"

[efecss]

That's because when I recorded this to DVD from analog, there was a slight scratch, and it didn't get recorded.

But thanks for letting everyone else know...

[SailorBarsoom]

Thanks.

[Llaaseil]

This is very interesting. Great job matching video to lyrics.

[laminak2]

Super! (Loved the "VD" moment")

[quizzlie]

"Who's that, who's got her ears stopped up?" the neo-filker cried.

"It's Leslie Fish, it's Leslie Fish," the veteran replied.

[hipp6y]

love the part about spock teaching computer how to swear

5/5

[VirtualVikki]
