I'm a huge fan of the old TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000. I've recently learned that some creative folks in Russia have launched their own version of that show called Project Popcorn. I would love it if someone could translate the lyrics to the opening theme song for me:
Project Popcorn
For comparison purposes, here is the original US theme song:
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Here are the English lyrics for the US version, which describe the premise of the show. I presume the Russian version has the same basis:
In the not-too-distant future --
Next Sunday A.D. --
There was a guy named Joel,
Not too different from you or me.
He worked at Gizmonic Institute,
Just another face in a red jumpsuit.
He did a good job cleaning up the place,
But his bosses didn't like him
So they shot him into space.
We'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst we can find (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And we'll monitor his mind (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind Joel can't control
Where the movies begin or end (la-la-la)
Because he used those special parts
To make his robot friends.
Robot Roll Call:
Cambot!
Gypsy!
Tom Servo!
Croooow!
If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
and other science facts (la la la),
Then repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Science Theater 3000!"
Thanks for your help! :-D
