1) A mononym of Aurelio V… Read Full Bio ↴Voltaire is a name of at least three acts:
1) A mononym of Aurelio Voltaire Hernández (b. 1967, Havana, Cuba), a singer/songwriter whose music has its roots deeply embedded in European folk and also has influences from the gothic scene. He has also been directing commercials and animating short films for ten years, the best known of these are his Hieronymus Bosch-inspired station MTV IDs.
Inspired by the films of Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), Voltaire began animating at the age of ten on a super8 camera. By piecing together snippets of information from fanzines, he eventually was able to teach himself how to make foam rubber animation models and animate them. The films of his childhood landed him his first directing job in 1988 with MTV. The stop-motion tour of the hellish Garden of Earthly Delights won several awards.
He also teaches stop-motion animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
He also wrote the song "BRAINS!" for the Cartoon Network show "Grim and Evil" which has since split into two separate shows (The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Evil Con Carne) and the song can also be found on his album "Boo Hoo".
An avid fan of Star Trek, Voltaire frequently attends conventions and released a four track E.P. called "Banned on Vulcan". It was a set of comedy recordings poking fun at characters from the show.
He often takes part in Adventure Quest Worlds special musical events in which he is drawn incredibly well!

Worf's Revenge
Voltaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son of Kahless
Your family has no honor
But I couldn't care less
I was born to kill Federation swine
And I celebrate with a barrel blood wine
I drink the Raktajino, I eat the gagh
When my homies get to Sto'Vo'Kor I yell "qa'plagh!"
I'm the chief commander on a Bird of Prey
I wake up every morning after owning the day
I'm the MacDad Klingon when I beam on board
I was at the signing of the Khitomer Accord
I never sweat about a Romulan dude
He's just a limp-wristed Vulcan with a bad attitude
And they're sly and they were telling lies
A shout out to Martok who lost an eye
To the dominion, and the Jem'Hadar minions
I'm on them like a transwarp engine
Fear my snarl hear my speech
Watch me blow like a warpcore breach
I'm not a lowly white p'tak like that Barclay guy
I don't need a holodeck to get a parma'kai
When the ladies see the beast I got between my thighs
They say "Perhaps today is a good day to die"
I hit Ezri ,Troi, Jadzia too
Watch out Janeway I'm coming for you
Cause I'm the MacDad Klingon with the humaniod bitches
My head ain't the only part of me that's got ridges
I've got the visions of Qo'noS on my mind
I've got visions of Qo'noS on my mind
I get visions of Cardassia on my mind
And that my boot smells like Gul Dukat's behind
I hate the Tribbles
Those little furry shits
But I love my Klingon bitches
Cause they've got three tits
I got a dagger and a bat'leth in my hand
If you were any other man
I'd kill you where you stand
I killed Captain Kirk
I killed Picard
I bitchslapped Riker like a Klingon Targ
Cause my name is Worf, I'm the son of Mogh
Ex-Federation officer and Klingon rogue
Qa'plagh!!
Voltaire's "Worf's Revenge" is a humorous and satirical song about the Star Trek character, Worf. The lyrics unfold from Worf's point of view, showcasing the Klingon warrior's feelings of superiority towards the Federation and other alien races. Worf boasts about his strength and courage, claiming he was "born to kill Federation swine" and drinks "barrel blood wine" to celebrate. He places himself as the chief commander on a Bird of Prey and mocks the Romulans as "limp-wristed Vulcans with a bad attitude."
Moreover, Worf's character in "Worf's Revenge" is also sexually charged as he jokes about his physical prowess and his attraction to Klingon women. He is depicted as a fearsome ladies' man, claiming he had sexual encounters with the likes of Jadzia, Ezri, and Troi, and wants to get with Janeway. In the final moments of the song, Worf declares himself as the one who killed Captain Kirk and Picard and that he bitch-slapped Riker like a Klingon Targ.
Voltaire's "Worf's Revenge" is a clever take on the Star Trek universe and Worf's character. The lyrics have a tongue-in-cheek quality that pokes fun at the conventions of the series while celebrating the larger-than-life persona of the Klingon warrior.
