Filk songs are a longstanding part of both media fandom and scfi-fi fandom history. Lyrics are often set to well known songs so that audiences can sing along. This filk song was performed in the early 1980s and released on the “Cosmic Connection” cassette tape.

THE TREKKER (to the tune of Simon and Garfunkle’s “The Boxer”)
(lyrics by Cheryl White & Jeanne Cloud)
