There is one group of folks from this list that is actively translating a
number of songs into Klingon and recording them. "HIchop" was our first.
"jIyIntaHvIS not qajegh" (Never Gonna Give You Up) will be coming out later
this summer in a shot-for-shot recreation of the Rick Astley video in
tlhIngan Hol & in Klingon garb. More will follow.
