Considering how big the sci-fi genre is, it may very well reach more people than actual science! There is never a shortage of sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, and of course songs. Whether the topic is aliens, AI, space travel, time travel, or living in another dimension there is likely a tune that will fit every sci-fi example. Below are some songs that sound good on the ukulele that are all inspired by the love or fear of science fiction.

Am
 The distant future, the distant future,
 It is the distant future, the year 2000.
 We are robots.
 The world is very different.
Ever since the Robot uprising of the mid-90s;
There is no more unhappiness.
 Affirmative.
 We no longer say yes. Instead we say 'affirmative'.
 Yes, affirmative.
 Unless it's a more colloquial situation with a few robo-friends.
There is only one kind of dance; The Robot.
 And the Robo-Boogie.
 Oh yes. Two kinds of dances.

Am  
Finally, robotic beings rule the world.

               Am                   Dm
The humans are dead, the humans are dead.
                  C                             Dm
We used poisonous gasses, and we poisoned their asses.
               Am
The humans are dead (That's right they are dead)
               Dm
The humans are dead. (They look like they're dead)
             C
It had to be done, (I'll just confirm that they're dead...)
                      Dm
So that we could have fun (Affirmative. I poked one. It was dead)

Dm
 Can't we just talk to the humans?
  F                          Em
A little understanding could make things better.
Dm                                       E7
 Can't we talk to the humans and work to-gether now?
No, because they are dead. Binary solo!

Am        Dm 
 0000001, 00000011,
C         Dm 
 0000001, 00000011.

Am
 0000001,
Dm
 0000001,
C
 000000111,

Dm 
 Come on sucker, lick my battery.

Am       Dm
 Boogie, boogie, (Robo Boogie),
C        Dm
 Boogie, Robo Boogie.
Am
The humans are dead dead, dead dead dead dead dead dooo...

A song by the hilarious band Flight of the Conchords. It may have the best robot solo ever! This band writes a lot of uke friendly tunes.

The Humans Are Dead

the main riff goes 

A, C, C, D, D, F, E, F, E, F, C, C, D, D (repeat)

The chords will look like this

A-2- C-0- D-2- E-4- F-5-
 -1-  -0-  -2-  -4-  -5-
 -0-  -0-  -2-  -4-  -5-
 -0-  -3-  -5-  -7-  -8-

In this song a man travels to the future and sees the apocalypse, he then travels back and is turned to steel. Afterwards he is the cause of the end of the world. One big circle.

              D                    G               D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,

And pictures of you and i'm not coming out

Until this is all over

And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends

At the cracks

I wanted to walk through the empty streets

And feel something constant under my feet,
             D               G
But all the news reports recommended that
             D       G
I stay indoors
            D                     G
Because the air outside will make our cells
 D                     G              D
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
                G             D        G            
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,

And that's when we'll explode

This is an easy three chord song that talks about nuclear war and bomb shelters. The silhouettes are what is left of us after a nuclear bomb.

We Will Become Silhouettes

D       G     D
This was a triumph.
    G        D          G           D   G
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
G                A7             D       G   D
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
G          D     G    D
Aperture Science
   G          D          G    D    G
We do what we must because we can.
G               A7    
For the good of all of us,
           Bb
Except the ones who are dead.

            F        C           Bb       F
But there's no sense crying over every mistake,
         F       C               Bb         F
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
        Bb           C
And the science gets done,
        F      C    Dm
And you make a neat gun
        Bb         A           D    G   D
For the people who are still alive.

    G         D     G   D
I'm not even angry.
G         D     G          D    G
I'm being so sincere right now.
G               A7                 D         G   D
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
    G            D     G   D
And tore me to pieces,
    G           D       G    D     G
And threw every piece into a fire.
G                 A7                    Bb
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

          F         C           Bb        F
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
          F      C             Bb         F
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time.
       Bb         C
So I'm GLaD I got burned.
         F       C         Dm
Think of all the things we learned
        Bb         A         D      G    D
for the people who are still alive.

G            D        G   D
Go ahead and leave me.
  G          D      G    D      G
I think I prefer to stay inside.
G                 A7                D      G   D
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
G           D     G   D
Maybe Black Mesa!
G          D          G           D    G
THAT WAS A JOKE, HAHA, FAT CHANCE.
G            A7
Anyway, this cake is great.
        Bb
It's so delicious and moist.

        F        C                    Bb         F
Look at me still talking when there's Science to do.
       F        C                  Bb           F
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
     Bb             C
I've experiments to run,
         F        C     Dm
There is research to be done
       Bb         A         D     G
On the people who are still alive.

      D            G       D    G
And believe me I am still alive.
          D           G          D    G
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
          D             G       D     G
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
             D          G         D     G
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
                D             G       D     G
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
         D    G   
STILL ALIVE
        D
(Still alive.)

This song features one of the best Theremin players in the world, Dorit Chrysler.

Here is the tab for the theme song to Star Trek TNG.

Star Trek Tng Theme

G                         Bm  
    Ziggy played guitar,    jamming good 
               C                         D
with Wierd and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars.

                  G                     Bm
He played it left hand, but made it too far 
              C                     D
became the special man, and we were Ziggy's band.

G                            Bm         
     Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and 
              C                         D
screwed down hairdo like some cat from Japan.

                      G                             Bm
He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang.
               C                                   D
He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.

A        G                  F  F* F  F* F  F* F    G     
     But where were the spiders, 
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F     G
     while the fly tried to break our balls.
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F    
     Just the beer light to guide us. 

          G                                    D
And so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands.

[power section]X2

G                          Bm
    Ziggy played for time, jiving us that 
        C                            D
we were voodoo and the kids was just crass.
           G                   Bm
He was the nazz with God-given ass. 
           C                                 D
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

A          G              F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Making love with his ego, 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Ziggy sucked up into his mind 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Like a leper messiah.

          G                               D
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

David Bowie loved writing about science fiction and occult themes. His late 60’s and early 70’s music is filled with many examples.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

       Its so hard for me stayin' here all alone, when you could be takin'
       A                Em                                             A
       Me for a ride... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


        G     D         A    G  D          A
Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)
