8 of 9 is a tribute to the partly-Borg Star Trek Voyageur character “7 of 9”. Played to icy perfection by the shapely Jeri Ryan in a skin-tight costume, 7 of 9 became the object of affection (ahem) for millions of Trekies. I began to wonder ” if 7 looked as tasty as this, what does 8 look like?” Thus was launched the lyric: “I’m hoping she will finally give me a sign, take me to the movies to see Frankenstein”
I,m waiting for my lovely 8 of 9
I,m waiting for my lovely 8 of 9
Turn on her implants get her all on line
Pseudo-robotic can make you feel so fine
My 8 of 9, Hmm yeah my 8 of 9
Bio-mechanical, party time
Lovely, enigmatic, and serpentine
Wanna join her collective, know her feelings all the time
Tune in to her wavelength and try to make her mine
My 8 of 9, my lovely 8 of 9, waiting for my 8 of 9
Hoping she will finally give me a sign
Take me to the movies to see Frankenstein
Assimilate my culture, we’ll just have to toe the line
My resistance is futile, and I think I’ll just resign, to my 8 of 9
My lovely 8 of 9
Thinking bout that 8 of 9
Gotta love her all the time
8 of 9, 8 of 9, 8 of 9
Love her all the time.
