Klingon Karaoke (ugh!)

I just got hold of the British music magazine "Vox". It has a series of
articles about Star Trek (Generations opens here in the next week or
so). On p.21, it has some bits of song 'translated' into Klingon, by
someone named Alexander T. Greene. I will give you a copy of what he has
written. I don't know most of the songs - I guess they are mostly
fairly recent.

********************
I have tidied this up only a little - only obvious mistakes in the
magazine. I take *no* responsibility for the songs. I am just curious to
see what everyone makes of the translation.
Enjoy!
