Geeks are sexy. Não há volta a dar. Toda a gente sabe disso. E não é de hoje. Geeks are sexy e ponto final.

Nos idos anos 70 do século passado também já se sabia mas infelizmente, a noção de sexy não era bem a mesma que existe hoje e como tal, deu origem a uma série de mal entendidos que ainda hoje fazem sentir os seus efeitos. Ray-Ban Wayfarer alguém? Mas disso poderemos falar numa outra ocasião. O tema hoje é Geeks are sexy. E é meu intuito deixar-vos aqui uma prova intemporal disso.

Sarah Brightman. Sabem quem é? Pois. É geek. Dúvidas? Repo! The Genetic Opera. Conhecem? “Ah e tal, mesmo assim, não me convences…”.

Com vocês, uma obra prima da geekice: I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper

Atentai pois na letra desta canção e digam de vossa justiça:

Arcaida

X-ray X-ray delta niner niner zero
This is Starfleet Control
You are clear to go hyper space
Acknowledge

Speaker 2:
Affirmative, Star Comm
We have situation gold

Speaker 1:
Niner niner zero, roger
You’re looking good for trans-light

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 galatic 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

Speaker 1:
Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm
We got a problem
On your vector
Request status check
Over

Oh, baby

Speaker 3:
Arcadia
This is Strategy Control
You have course devation
At five mark six
Acknowledge

I love you

(Speaker 1:
Arcaida
We show condition red
Confirm)

Love me

(Speaker 3:
What’s going on out there)

Oh 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 heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we’ll conquer space

(Speaker 1, while Sarah sings
Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm
Be advised
You have serious vector deviation
I repeat: serious vector deviation

Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm

Arcadia
Niner niner zero
Do you copy

This is Starfleet Control
To all ships in sector five
Be advided
Arcadia
Niner niner zero
Is off course
All ships squawk ident
