As everyone knows, the MST3K opening theme is one of greatest television themes ever created. It's silly and cute and fun to sing along to. When I got into MST3K, the only form of the show I had access to was the movie, which is lacking the presence of the opening theme in a traditional sense. The music that plays over the opening and closing credits are rearranged versions of the theme, but they both lack the lyrics.

Some time ago I managed to snag a copy of the movie's end credit theme by Dave Alvin. With lyrics. And crowd noise, since I think it was recorded at a con of some sort. Just pretend it's a live version. The recording sucks ass, but this is probably the only version we're going to see until a special edition DVD rerelease of the movie ever happens.

Download it here.


In the not-too-distant future
Way down in Deep 13,
The evil Dr. Forrester
Was hatching an nasty scheme.
He hired a guy by the name of Mike,
Just a regular joe he didn't like.
The experiment needed a good test case,
So they conked him on the noggin
And they shot him into space.

Well I'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst I can find (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And i'll monitor his mind (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind Mike can't control
Where the movies begin or end (la-la-la)
He'll try to keep his sanity
With the help of his robot friends.

Robot Roll Call!
Cambot!
Gsypy!
Tom Servo!
Crooooooow!

Well if you're wondering how he eats and breathes
And other science facts, (lalala)
Just repeat to yourself "Hey, it's just a show,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Science Theater 3000."
