My Dad sang this to me when I was a child. It was our song and to hear it in Klingon made me smile and ache just a little to know he didn't get to learn the original Klingon lyrics!!!
Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Fun fact, when I did this performance, there was no word for "rainbow" in Klingon so I'm actually singing "bright water photon" (bIQ 'otlh wov). When we did the studio version of this song for my 2nd EP, we got a word a few months before we started recording so we were able to update the lyrics with a brand new word!
My favorite parts of the original Klingon interpretation are where Do'thA and her crew storm Emerald Conclave to confront the Emerald Emperor, and the massive bat'leth battle vs. The House of Mo'nchKeens.

@SpaceAce100 No, the Evil Witches have to be Green Orion women. Not only are they the right color, they really mess with the males of a whole bunch of species!
Funny enough when this particular translation was originally done, there was not a word for rainbow and the translation is literally "bright water photon". Not long after this performance, we actually got a word for rainbow -- Har'ey. When I did the official recording of the song, we updated the lyrics to reflect the new word.
Awesome concept! Here's a suggestion to throw the crowd off even more at the beginning. Skips the need for 8 bars of just guitar by coming in after the first 2 beats by start with the often unused verse: "When all the world Is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble al'round Heaven opens a magic lane. When all the clouds darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your window pane To a place behind the sun Just a step beyond the rain... Somewhere over the rainbow..."
Thank you that was most agreeable. (Raised quizzical eyebrow). K-Pop should really refer to the terpsichorean muse of the Klingons. Plus your Red Shirt has an uncanny resemblance to British actor Matt Berry.
If she loves him she has to start throwing rocks at hin while, he is doing poetry, after poetry both throw stones, and if no one hits the other to hard, there will be a little kahless in about 9 to 15 months, scripts I read about had different information, but I love it❤
Weird Klingon mating ritual fact to share on what is a children's song and not a love ballad or even Klingon love poetry but if that's what turns you on, I guess, you do you? 🤷♀
It's definitely a possibility! Not this year but I let people vote on songs for me to translate during my annual charity event so 2023 could be the year to get it in there!

There should be 2 available - Warrior Woman & Fierce Songs. :) I'm hoping to record in the new year! We do have enough music for another EP, it's just a matter of having the time to get everyone together!

This is both amusing AND highly intriguing. Very nicely done!

In any language, this is lovely performance by an amazing voice. Qa'pla!
Ah. When fandoms merge❣️
I can't express how much i love this
I’m in love 😍😍😍😍
The whole Wizard of Oz should be redone as a Klingon rendition.
The Wizard of Oz is better in the original Klingon.
Amazing! :D
qathlo'qu'! Glad you enjoyed this glorious lullaby from Qo'noS! 😉
genial version
LOL It would be cool to see the entire Wizard of Oz on Klingon. Of course Toto would have to be a targ.
Lord Zaphod
You’d have a bitch of a time getting him in that basket.
You haven't enjoyed the Wizard of Oz until you've heard it in the original Klingon.
@SpaceAce100 No, the Evil Witches have to be Green Orion women. Not only are they the right color, they really mess with the males of a whole bunch of species!
This is magical
8 years later, still slaps!!!
lol Always and forever.
Just great!!!... Thanks for posting.
qatlho'qu'! Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! Fun fact - when we did this performance there was no word for rainbow.
I love it!!!!
Thank you so much!!! This was a very fun performance.
I was unaware Klingon had such word as a rainbow! The only logical explanation is that it has a "bow" in it?

This is amazing! I hope to hear you sing it in person one day! 😊
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
You have not experienced the Wizard of Oz until you have read it in the original Klingon.
Well played! 😂
Dear Jenbom, please make more. I'd even buy the album!
There's 2 already!! ;) I'm going to try to do number 3 in 2020!
@@klingonpopwarrior Great. I'll save a little money and order them. My Xmas present! :)

That's so amazing xD

100th comment for the Empire! The people who disliked this have no honor! Habiydahs. K'plah!!!! Kkkkkppppppllllllaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Way better than traditional Klingon opera
Pleas make this part of your next CD !!
+Eugen Neuber I am hoping to! ;) qatlho'!
Glad I clicked it
The Tin man is going to look for a heart of Targ.
Have you READ the history of the Tin Man? It's EXACTLY the sort of thing a Klingon would love.
micmac274 The Tin Man was a cowardly petaQ, with no honor.
Horton Crow the Lion you mean, Nick chopper was very honorable. He slew all of the witch's wolves. A most honorable and mighty deed.
Even tho he slew them with an axe and not the batleth!
the Tin man? I see a Klingon pun ... tIn'a' loD?
Thank you that was most agreeable. (Raised quizzical eyebrow).
K-Pop should really refer to the terpsichorean muse of the Klingons.

Are you going to sing Abba's dancing queen in Klingon?
It's definitely a possibility! Not this year but I let people vote on songs for me to translate during my annual charity event so 2023 could be the year to get it in there!
What is Klingon for lemon drops ??
Excellent question! translates literally to "troubles which melt resemble sour sugar".
Dorothy and The Wicked Witch would duke it out with Batleths!
Mike Gallant for the empire!!
And Toto would be a little targ puppy!
Dor'othy of the House of G'ale vs Elph'aba of the House of Th'ropp!
May she strike her enemies like a great storm of wind.
And honor upon her friends

I'm surprised there's a Klingon word for rainbow ^^
ChrisRyot probably translates to radiation lights a bit cleaner
