Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters
Out near the Rim of the next galaxy,
The event of a lifetime was coming to be
Millions of travelers coming to see
Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.Faster-than-light they flew through the dark
Bursting out here with a flash like a spark
Flying and looking for somewhere to park
for Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.And then—with a flash!—appeared on the stage
(a rotating steel ring without age)
the group that was all the interstellar rage
Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.From each of the ships erupted a cheer
a transmission received both far and near
for an audience that just couldn’t believe they were here
with Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.The music began and the beat, it kicked out
high-energy protons that scattered about
in a glow, with the “oohs”, and the “aahs”, and the shouts
for Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.The concert played out on every frequency band
Radio, X-ray, the whole spectrum it spanned
The whole choreography perfectly planned
for Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.The Hipsters were wailing, electricity was felt
All the way out to the asteroid belt
A passing-by comet was beginning to melt
from Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.Plaid belted her note and they played their last chord
Right on cue, as the audience broadcasted for more
Behind her the light from a nova. It poured
from Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters.Ah, it was a once in a lifetime event
One that the audience will never forget
And it really increased sales at spacehipsters.net.
Plaid Flannel and the Space Hipsters!
