The Lyrics
How many of you remember Master of Orion, a "conquer the universe" game released by MicroProse back about 1993? This was one of my all time favorite games--my sons, too! Some of the socio-ethnic groups in the game, like the Bulrathi, Silicoids, and so on have characteristics too easy not to parody. This is the first of a few, featuring my favorites, the Bulrathi, a large bear-like race.
The Galaxy Shuffle (to the tune of “Super Bowl Shuffle” by the Chicago Bears)
(Shortened a little--bears tend to be a bit laconic)
Chorus:
We’re the Bul-ra-thi conquerin’ crew
Chargin’ your world, comin’ there for you!
Don’t even think you get us rattled,
We can always beat you in a battle
You can take a look up as we’re comin’ down
We’re gonna smash every village and town.
You won’t see nuthin’ but the rubble
When we get done with the Galaxy Shuffle!
Growwlll,-growwlll, grow-ull, grow-ull
Smurch: They call me Smurch, and I’m in command
Don’t mess with me--take a look at my hand!
I lead my troops, going here and there
Any place is good enough for a bear!
We don’t say much, and carefully speak
You can count on us to defend the weak.
You’re sure gonna lose if you start some trouble,
So don’t even try the Galaxy Shuffle!
Chorus:
Durpp: My name is Durpp, and it’s plain to see
Bears don’t come any better than me!
From papa bear Smurch, I’m his favorite cub
Learnin’ how to our enemies drub
Goin’ in first with paws on the ground
Scarin’ the foes with Bulrathi sound
We’ll stomp down any hint of a bubble
When you see us doin’ the Galaxy Shuffle!
Chorus:
All: So now you see what we bears do
Trouble’s only seen on the sole of our shoe!
So make us a deal, and with us trade
We can be friends and no enemies made
But just watch out, if you want some trouble
‘Cos you’re gonna see the Galaxy Shuffle!
In the science lab, we’re havin’ fun
Workin’ on a most powerful gun!
Makin’ some ships that you can’t beat
It’s called an undefeatable fleet
Propulsion, rockets, other leads,
Anything anywhere our brothers need
So be real wise and seek no trouble
Or you just might see the Galaxy Shuffle!
Chorus:
I’m a super spy bear and I’ve got to say
You never saw it done the Bulrathi way
I have strength and I have size
Swat you away like messin’ with flies
I’m so big and I’m so tough
Easy for me to carry the stuff
Back to the lab, now, on the double
‘Cos we’re gonna do the Galaxy Shuffle!
You can take it from me, I’m a warrior bear
We’re the best ground troops without compare
The weapons you have? They’re nothin’ to me
But you’ll be scared when our troops you see
First wave, second wave and many more
You’ll never beat the Bulrathi score
So be our friends and avoid the trouble
And you’ll never see the Galaxy Shuffle!

There are still images (screenshots and the like) available on Google and perhaps other places. Imagine the fun in making the graphics "shuffle" to this kind of rap!
