This one started out during a William Shatner bashing joke session. They talked about how badly directed Star Trek 5 was. One of the people there kept saying that he must have been thinking that it was his life’s ambition. Thus, an idea was born. Shirley took it and ran with it, but didn’t realize until she was done that she had combined two songs (even though both songs were related). So, it gave for a unique filk song.
It’s My Movie
By Shirley Dean
It is rumored that these words were said many times
on the set of Star Trek 5 by a certain actor…
(chorus) It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
STTMP was so boring
then we did Trek 2,
suddenly we were a hit,
what more could we do?
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
Then they gave the job to Leonard,
he was dead and didn’t have much to do,
so they gave him 4 as well
and that was when I had to yell.
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
Harve said I could direct a movie
any old way I choose.
So I said well I’m a star now
I don’t care how much money you lose.
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
Leonard thought that he was such a smarty
Getting to direct two films
I just said that I’ll show him
that he was over the hill.
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
Knowing that I could direct a movie,
I did a very clever thing.
I took everything I learned in Drama 101
and applied it to the Silver Screen
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
The critics said that 5 was really lousy
I just don’t understand why.
They must have really had it out for me.
I tell you, its a great big lie!
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition,
They said won’t be a seventh movie,
Gee, I don’t know why.
I’m more than willing and ready
to give it one more try.
It’s my movie, I’ll direct if I want to,
direct if I want to, direct if I want to,
More than a five year mission,
it’s my life’s ambition.
