| "'''A New Crew in Town'''" is a humorous music video appearing on [http://video.syfy.com/shows/battlestar/events_specials/a_new_crew_in_town/a-new-crew-in-town/v35344 Syfy.com] comparing the [[Original Series]] with the [[Re-imagined Series]]. The song was written and performed and the video edited by composer/producer Dave Doré. It sets the following lyrics to fitting clips from both shows.

|
| Let me tell you about my favorite ship.<br/>
| | A new crew in town is a music video appearing on SCIFI.COM comparing the old series with the new one. |
| Back in '78 it seemed pretty hip.<br/>
| |
| Wasn't the ''[[Wookiepedia:Millennium Falcon|Millennium Falcon]]'' or the ''[[MemoryAlpha:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|Enterprise]]''.<br/>
| |
| It was the battlestar ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' that took that prize.<br/>
| |
|
| |
|
| Sure back then, the effects were kind of cheesy,<br/>
| | "So much better than the one with lorne green" |
| but I loved it like [[w:The Jeffersons|George Jefferson loved his Weezie]].<br/>
| |
| It didn't worry about gravity or [[w:Inertial compensator|anything inertial]],<br/>
| |
| and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo's]] hair looked like a shampoo commercial.<br/>
| |
| | |
| But there is a [[Re-imagined Series|new crew in town]],<br/>
| |
| they know how to throw it down.<br/>
| |
| They make the others look like a ship full of clowns.<br/>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>REFRAIN:<br/>
| |
| You are my [[Galactica (TRS)|new battlestar]], and you've come so far.<br/>
| |
| I love the slanted walls and your A-shaped halls.<br/>
| |
| You are full of [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon clones]],<br/>
| |
| and those [[Sound-powered phone|old-fashioned phones]].<br/>
| |
| You're a [[frak|frakkin']] awesome machine,<br/>
| |
| so much better than the one with [[Lorne Greene]].<br/></blockquote>
| |
| | |
| They had a [[daggit]] and a boy named {{TOS|Boxey}}.<br/>
| |
| Now {{TOS|Starbuck}}'s a [[Kara Thrace|girl]] and the Cylons are [[Number Six|foxy]].<br/>
| |
| For Adama, [[Edward James Olmos|Eddie Olmos]] wins the fashion election.<br/>
| |
| Instead of {{TOS|Uniforms|padded robes}} he chose a [[Uniforms (RDM)|different direction]].<br/>
| |
| Sorry [[Dirk Benedict]], I don't want you to lose [[w:Templeton "Faceman" Peck|face]],<br/>
| |
| but I'd rather share my space with [[Kara Thrace]].<br/>
| |
| | |
| [[Gaius Baltar|Baltar]] still gushes with evil intent,<br/>
| |
| but why is he the only one with an [[Language in the Twelve Colonies|English accent]]?<br/>
| |
| I love hot [[Number Six]] and her [[w:Breasts|identical twins]],<br/>
| |
| because on [[Sci Fi Channel|cable]] they are able to show a lot more skin.<br/>
| |
| | |
| [REFRAIN]<br/>
| |
| | |
| You are my new battlestar, and you've come so far.<br/>
| |
| I love your blueish glow and your [[Saul Tigh|drunk XO]].<br/>
| |
| I love that you [[Tom Zarek|brought back]] {{TOS|Apollo|old}} [[Richard Hatch]].<br/>
| |
| You're a frakkin' awesome machine,<br/>
| |
| so much better than the one with Lorne Greene.<br/>

| == Notes ==
| |
| *While the song seems to put down the {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|Original Series}} in favor of the new series, it also shows an affectionate nostalgia for the original and pokes some fun at complaints occasionally leveled against the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], such as:
| |
| **The excessive alcohol consumption of characters like [[Saul Tigh]] and [[Kara Thrace]].
| |
| **The use of old technology, like phones with cords, instead of high-tech.
| |
| **The relatively explicit sex, especially concerning Cylons.
| |
| * Although Baltar is by far the most prominent character with an English accent, there are also [[Layne Ishay]] and [[Romo Lampkin]].
| |
| * The line "Sorry Dirk Benedict, I don't want you to lose face" could be a reference to his role as [[wikipedia:Templeton "Faceman" Peck|Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck]] in ''[[w:The A-Team|The A-Team]]''.
