    I remember downloading this song when I was thirteen, putting it on my MP3 player and listening to it on the way to school. At one point I could sing most of it. :)

    jeditemple -- actually, I wrote it just before the last ep of B5 aired. I later changed the next-to-last line to "Joe, I've seen Crusade -- you're gonna be sorry". -- Tom Smith
  • My favorite verse: "Gonna meet the violence with defiance and Alliance Cause the giants left the playground with a lot of blood and sorrow. Gonna get a room on Z'Ha'Dum, the ship'll zoom, And then go Boom Shubba Lubba 'cause there's always one tomorrow. the sheer density of the references, and rhymes, is staggering

    Best song ever! I memorized the lyrics!
  • @Adrianij
    Very well done! It makes me want to watch B5 again, that was a great show..

    I love this so much. It sume up B5 in less than 3 min. "Garabaldi, he's getting balder every season." That is so true. "He wants to blame everything on the telepaths from sunspots to balding." - Lochely, Season 5

    Wonderful song for a wonderful show. I first heard this on Dr. Demento a few yeras back when B5 had just finished. It's still bring back some great memories. And darn it, Andreas (G'Kar), why did you have to leave us so damned soon? And ditto for Richard Biggs, one hell of a laser-tag player (Dr. Franklin) and Tim Choate (Zathras). You are all dearly missed.

    That you sir, as a die hard B5 fan and Barenaked Ladies fan, I just couldn't ask for a better, or wittier, tribute. Brilliant!
  • @Lerrinus
    Brilliant singing and editing from start to finish! :-D
  • @evyraymond5062
    As I only discovered this wonderful show last year it was a wonderful treat to run across this video on you tube. Great job.
  • @PedanticBohemian
    Okay, honestly, this is THE vid. Flawless and hysterically funny. Thank you. Thank you so much for this slice of genius! I really can't get enough of it.
  • @Nexus_542
    "IM the kinda guy that laughs at the shadow war" I applaud you, good sir.
  • @philbear7882
    OMFG! I have been trying to find this for like 5 years!!!!!
  • @MattLeger
    What a splendid song and video even now, almost three decades later! The only way it could've been better is if at 1:41 there were a shot of Ivanova from the scene where she says, "There's always a boom tomorrow." Well done!
  • @againstthetimes
    "If you can't understand then you're not a three edged sword!" Ha ha ha ha, I live this every time I see.
  • @paracletelux
    I love this! There aren't enough good B5 fanvids out there, but this one is awesome!
