Sarah singing:
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Oh...
Hey, Captain Strange, won't you be my lover
You're the best thing that I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me, he's gone to the stars
An evil Darth Vader has me banished to Mars
Tell me, Captain Strange, do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid, devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two are not enough for me
What my body needs is close encounter three
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space
Listen, Captain Strange, what's our destination
The scanners seem to indicate a small deviation
Static on the comm - it's Starfleet Command
Requesting your position, it's their final demand
You're intentions are known, they've found out at last
So if you're gonna take me, please make it fast
Touch me, feel me, do what you will
I want to feel that galactic thrill
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

I Lost my ⤠to Anderson Cooper 360
'' Hey, Captain Cooper, are you undercover ?
Iâll never forget how you covered Katrina.
Captain Jackâs left us, to go to the stars
And the evil Head Cheeto has been banished to Mars (A Lago)
Tell me, Captain Cooper, are you feeling the motion
We could really cause a galactic commotion
60 minutes with you in zero gravity,
Are we heading straight for close encounter three ?
I lost my heart to Anderson Cooper,
Switched on the screen and there was his face.
He is Vanderbilt for the future,
That silver fox will conquer space. ''

Would have a heart attack if Sarah Brightman in her 2022 concert would break into this song and do a couple of Hot Gossip moves. The audience would go absolutely nuts.
