What songs would you like to hear "in the Original Klingon"?

After seeing some songs translated into Klingon (Gangnam Style and the Rickroll to name a few) there was one I thought could be done that way, thought it'd have to be rewritten to fit Klingon culture (or not as I don't quite understand it yet). And that song would be...


"Love is War" cover performed by Joydreamer (original performance by Miku Hatsune)

Yeah, an English cover. The original was done with computer software and voice samples.


I got some weird image of a Klingon woman singing this with a Federation officer on her mind...


What songs do you think would sound good in "In the Orignal Klingon"? And where does ithe term come from anyway? Just curious. :)


Oh... and try to limit your examples as I'm sure some of you have entire libraries you'd like to hear in Klingon. :)
*sings* "I like Gammera! He's so neat!!! He is full of turtle meat!!!"

"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*

    I don't really know my TOS, so can't be particularly specific, but I'm fairly sure a klingon Kirk encounters during one of the films insists he should listen to Hamlet 'in the original Klingon'. As far as I'm aware that's its origin.

    Also "Yuusha-Oh Tanjou (GRAND GLORIOUS GATHERING Version)" by Masaaki Endoh and "The Guardian" by JAM Project. And maybe "Zips" by T.M. Revolution.

    As to the origin of the phrase, 'in the original Klingon', OP, it was Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

    The quote was: "You've never experienced Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original Klingon."

    1. Take Shatner's interpretation of "Rock it? ...Man"
    2. Translate it into Klingon.
    3. Have Shatner peform the Klingon version of the song.
    4. Have Tay Zonday dub his interpretation of Shatner-Klingon over Shatner.

    That'll fix the Internet.

    So the Klingons right now aren't speaking in the "Origninal" Klingon now? O_O


    TM Revolution... hmm... I've heard of him. Maybe his song "Heart of the Sword" from the anime Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin could be done in Klingon as well (though it would still need to be rewritten to fit Klingon culture)...

    I was going to say "Piano Man" by Billy Joel, but then I had two images pop into my head: Klingon choir singing "Ode to Joy", and Klingon choir singing "Dragonborn".
    "Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"

    3. you would NEVER get shatner to perform a Klingon Version. he never watched trek or understood it, why try now? that is unless he is paid such a staggering sum of money that he would considering and not more beyond it.

    Try these!
    The Picard song
    The Worf Song
    The Riker Song
    And finally the Masterpiece :D.
