Lyrics
When you're alone you ask yourself

What are you searching for?

Deep in the night a dream is born

One that you can't ignore



If you think you can find the passion

And you're ready to take a chance

If you really believe you can make it

Then the power is in your own hands



It's the moment of truth you're giving it all

Standing alone, willing to fall

If you can do it get up and prove it

Get up and show them who you are



It's the moment of truth it's all on the line

This is the place this is the time

Waited forever, it's now or it's never

Nothing can stop you now, oh



Once in your life you make a choice

Ready to risk it all

Deep in your soul you hear a voice

Answering to the call



Though you know that it won't be easy

It's a promise you make for love

For the people that keep believing

And the one that you're thinking of



It's the moment of truth you're giving it all

Standing alone, willing to fall

If you can do it get up and prove it

Get up and show them who you are



It's the moment of truth it's all on the line

This is the place this is the time

Waited forever, it's now or it's never

Nothing can stop you now



It's the moment of truth you're giving it all

Standing alone, willing to fall

If you can do it get up and prove it

Nothing can stop you now



It's the moment of truth you're giving it all

Standing alone, willing to fall

If you can do it get up and prove it

Get up and show them who you are



It's the moment of truth it's all on the line

This is the place this is the time

Waited forever, it's now or it's never

Nothing can stop you now



It's the moment of truth

Moment of truth

Heee, this was really fun! :-D Awesome.

[starlady]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[franzeska]

This music choice is amaaazing, vidder, but not even you can make this turkey look like the cinematographer was awake or anybody could act. Hahaha. Beautiful cheese!

[starlady]

I was playing it as straight as I could! Which, admittedly, was pretty wobbly. I'm glad you liked it!

[jetpack_monkey]

First of all, thank you for taking on the super-difficult task of vidding a really awful movie. I salute you!

Also, I am absolutely in love with the fact that you made the entire vid using the MST3K episode. What a way to combine the source with the overall theme of my requests!

Song choice -- A+! Holy crap. What an amazing mix of 80s nostalgia with 80s cheese! Which is the nostalgia and which is the cheese? BOTH!

Just an amazing vid for a film that would never otherwise get vidded. Which is so the complete spirit of Festivids. *HUGS*

[starlady]

I wish I could claim some special insight for the use of the MST3K episode, but in reality that was a question of making the source limitations work.

Thank you, and I'm so glad you liked it! It was actually pretty fun making it, because I had the MST3K lines going in my head the whole time. :D

[were_duck]

This is ridonk cheesy and epic I really enjoyed the beat :D

[starlady]

Thanks! :D I had a moment of peak 80s in choosing the song: "Should I go with the track from The Karate Kid, or the one from Rocky IV?" I chose this one because of the beat.

[sweetestdrain]

This is adorable! The song choice really brings out the delightfully over-the-top nature of the movie.

[starlady]

I'm glad you liked it--I was trying for completely OTT. :D

[revolutionaryjo]

Bless you, Festividder. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected to run across a Space Mutiny vid. And you have made one entirely loyal to the source. Perfection!

[starlady]

I was asked to play it straight, and I did my damndest. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[kuwdora]

this is hilariously amazing, omg. ♥ !

[starlady]

I'm glad you liked it! ♥

[swizzlespoon]

As a MST3K fan, I loved having the shadows on screen thoughout this vid and honestly-- how else are you going to get through Space Mutiny? Really fun (and funny) video.

[starlady]

Mike and the robots suffered, I suffered, everybody suffers. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
