According to Google, somebody did this one back in 1989, but I haven't heard a word about it since. A surprise, because it was too easy. I received Rob Balder's new CD "For Amusement Only" today; it had a song called "Cylons On The Screen" based on "Islands In The Stream." I started thinking out this one immediately.

"The Sound Of Cylons"
by Will "scifantasy" Frank
ttto: "The Sound Of Silence" by Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel

Hello toasters, my old friends
You've come to kill us all again
Because you got a message from your God
To make an artificial human bod
And the visions deep inside of Baltar's brain
He's insane
'Cause of the sound of Cylons.

And through the stars we fly alone
Because you blew up all our homes
And you shut down our computer nets,
But the Second War ain't over yet
On /Galactica/ we are going to fight back
And we'll attack
And stop the sound of Cylons.

And in the rag-tag fleet I saw
One hundred starships, maybe more
Starships fleeing to planets far
Starships jumping between the stars
And a battlestar to act as our home base
Because in space
You can't hear the sound of Cylons

"Fool" said I, "You do not know,"
"As my fatal cancer grows.
With my visions I can lead you
To our true home I can speed you."
But the planet below was green and bright.
Our new home
Out of sight of Cylons

So the people threw me out
And they settled on the ground
'Til a nuke went off with a flare
Telling everyone we were there
And the Cylons said, "Your world is now ours"
And we're gonna have to fight
'Cause it feels right
Silencing the sounds of Cylons.
