 Since Pon Farr and Starfleet are both mentioned in the recording lyrics, the removal does little to mask the song's origins.Despite the song's popularity at science fiction conventions, the composer has expressed reluctance to perform the song in public because, for years, she was asked to perform it several times at every Science Fiction convention she attended.Finally she insisted that she would sing it only once a year, usually at WorldCon, NASFiC or DragonCon.
