For some reason I always pretended the lyrics were "Beam 'Em Up" (this
was before Alien 4), and I picture Kirk from classic ST fighting some
Klingons on a planet, and he decides, "hey what the heck am I fighting

You guys don't like Dragon Lady from RbN? I think that song is pretty
good. High energy, good riff, good solo, ok lyrics. "The Dragon Lady will
show you how to fry..."
