8/3: If your favorite side character(s) had a theme song, what would it be?

(1/3)

A tricky one, seeing as I need to create the songs, first, being a different universe and all.

But Cordelia Vintar-ith-Vidutar, first-in scout, is well known for subconsciously humming a particular shanty sung wherever Exploratory Service personnel gather to consume heinous quantities of liquor:

"Oh, infinite knowledge awaits us in space -
We'll seek out and contact with fervor and grace.
New worlds and new sophonts we simply adore -
Let's party where no-one has partied before."

(The tune, and the spirit of the thing, is that of _Space Shanty_, by The Senate:

And Líse Varavelen has a deplorable liking for the 4300s ballad, "Girl, Your Marginal Benefit Far Outweighs Your Marginal Cost".

@cerebrate OMG, I love everything about it. And OF COURSE space ship crews would have shanties. Why didn't I think of that??
