The Picard Song
DarkMateria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Engage!
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Make it so. (Jean-Luc Picard.)
Make it so.
Make it so.
The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth!
Scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth!
It is the guiding principal upon which Starfleet is based!
Now if you can't find it within yourself to stand up for the truth,
You don't deserve to wear that uniform!
Is this becoming a speech?
You're the Captain Sir. You're entitled.
Hmm. I'm entitled to ramble on about something everyone knows?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Make it so. (Jean-Luc Picard.)
Make it so.
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Make it so. (Jean-Luc Picard.)
Make it so.
He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic, so that no one had the chance to interrupt him.
But really quite hypnotic.
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic,
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic.
Moving from topic to topic.
Quite hypnotic.
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic,
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic.
Moving from topic to topic.
Quite hypnotic.
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic,
Incredibly unbroken sentence,
Moving from topic to topic.
Moving from topic to topic.
Quite hypnotic.

Make it so.
You'll have to call again, I'm just leaving.
I'm ah, not dressed properly.
My-My-My-My
My love is a fever,
Longing still for that which longer nurseth the disease.
Tell me more.
You'll have to call again.
In faith, I do not love thee, with mine eyes.
They thee, a thousand errors see.
But 'tis my heart, that loves, what they despise.
Whom you despise.
If you, are pleased to go,
Shall I compare thee, to a summer's day?
Tell me more.
You'll have to call again.

The Picard Song is a fun and catchy tribute song to the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation and its beloved captain, Jean-Luc Picard. The song opens with a dedication to the crew of the USS Enterprise, followed by the iconic command "Engage!" that Picard often used to initiate warp speed. The main focus of the song is Picard himself, with the chorus repeating his name and his signature phrase, "Make it so."
The song also includes a humorous reference to Picard's tendency to give long speeches, with the captain questioning whether he's becoming a speechmaker and then continuing to ramble on. This section of the song is punctuated by the lyrics "incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic, quite hypnotic," emphasizing the soothing and captivating effect that Picard's speeches had on his crew.
The latter part of the song includes several iconic Star Trek references, including the Borg invasion that turned Picard into Locutus of Borg and the memorable episode where the alien language of Darmok was introduced. The song concludes with more repetitions of Picard's name and "Make it so," reinforcing the captain's iconic status as a leader and commander.

Great story about this song.
My older brother was into YTMND and had this downloaded and burned to a cd in his car.
He used to drive around and listen to it, me in the passenger seat.
One time we were picking up McDonald's with this blasting over the car speakers.
McDonald's dude delivering our food to us - is JAMMING on his way to the window. And he's like "wooooo damn man what is that?"
My brother, dying of laughter - pulls the cd and hands it to the guy. Lol
And he's like "damn man thank you soo much!" 😂
There was so much other goofy parody stuff on that cd.

Back when the internet was good. I hope they remake the internet one day.

Oh yeah, 2008 was the golden age of the internet. Cats that wanted cheeseburgers, msn messenger. Now I have super computers and internet speeds I would have sold my first born kid for back then, but sure, let's dream about "back in the day when I lurked on the internet..."
