Song: Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace

Title: Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
Pairing: OFC/Starbuck
Warnings: implied femslash
Spoilers: I think none, but if you want to be super careful you should watch 417 first.

Summary: Ginger 'Lightweight' Thomson is a Viper Pilot. She's also gay. And she's got a crush on Kara Thrace (who would have guessed).
I sing this song from her perspective and play along on my guitalele.

Disclaimer: This song is based on "Taylor the Latte Boy": Music by Zina Goldrich / Lyrics by Marcy Heisler.
Lyrics-adaption (and probably wrong chord-guesswork) by me.
In this song I reference the TV show 'Battelstar Galactica' which I of course do not own and with which I am in no way affiliated.
Ginger 'Lightweight' Thomson is an original female character that I created.

Con-crit & comments are love! ♥

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace

You might know our new CAG Starbuck
who is very inspirational
she is very inspirational
because of many things

She walks by at 0640
and she grins and says "Good huntin'"
when she grins and says "Good huntin'"
I could swear my heart grows wings

So today at 0640
I decided I should meet her
I decided I should meet her
in a proper, formal way

so today at 0640
when she grinned and said "Good huntin'"
I said "Thanks, and my name's Ginger"
And she softly answered, "Hey."

And I said, "My name is Ginger
and good huntin' to you too."
And she said "I guess I'll see you"
then she vanished in the crowd of the crew.

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I'd totally let her get to third base
Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I love her, I love her, I love her

So I'd like to get my nerve up
to strike up a conversation
in an undisturbed location
if I ever get that far

when today late in the evening
I saw Kara sittin'
at the old untuned piano
on the low decks in Joe's Bar

she sat there all by herself
but for me shoved over
and she pat the seat beside her
and I knew this was my que

when she saw me she shoved over
and she let me sit beside her
I tried to edge closer
and her hair smelled like shampoo

Then I ordered some ambrosia
'cause ambrosia is what we prefer
She said "Keep the 3.55"
because tonight the drinks were on her!

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I'd totally let her get to third base
Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I love her, I love her, I love her

I used to be the kind of girl
who'd run when love tried to invade her,
but finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours,
if you fly your bird and shoot down a raider!"

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I'd totally let her get to third base
Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I love her, I love her, I love her

So many years only boring ladies,
who'd have thought that love could show on my DRADIS

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace
I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her

This is fantastic. I love your lyric-adaptation, your voice and most of all your delivery, which kept making me collapse in delighted giggles. I totally identify with Ginger!

(Also, hope it isn't inappropriate to say you're really really cute. :) )

*blushes* Of course it isn't inappropriate *is-flattered*

I totally identify with Ginger!
Yay! That was exactly what I was going for!

Also, may I send some iconlove your way? *sends*
We're all living a very dangerous life! ;)

Thats the first time I see such a homemade video. I like it and the audio and video quality is remarkable.

It is very nice and well done how you describe Ginger as a sectret admirer who finally had the courage to make a move.

Omigod, I can't get over how much I love this. It's clever, catchy, hilarious, cute, and a totally unique take on the femslash genre. I've never seen anyone go to the effort to write, perform and film a song for a fandom. Bravo!
You have a great voice! You also look adorable in the pseudo-BSG costume.
Thanks for sharing this.
