In light of requests for more time, we've extended the deadline for the Greenlight Baby video project! We've gotten quite a few entries already, but we'd love to have more. So that means you have another month to film yourself and send off your entries to us. Need a refresher on the details? Well here you go:
What do you need to do? Grab a video camera and film yourselves (and friends!) acting out the lyrics! How, where, or with whom you film is completely up to you, but whatever you do, the idea is to promote XF3!
See the rules as follows:
1. Submit a 30-60 second video, in the following video formats: .AVI .MPEG .MOV or .M4V
2. If you feel the need to vid the whole song do so, BUT only sections of it will be used due to space and time constrains.
3. Sing or lipsync along to the lyrics of "Greenlight Baby". Dress up, enlist fellow philes, use your posters, tshirts, trading cards, you name it. The funnier, the better.
4. Submit the video to
The final video will be released on November 21, so get filming, Philes! Download the song here and check out the lyrics after the jump.
GREENLIGHT BABY lyrics. (K. Andersen)
Sunflower seeds in the shell,
Trust no one, I'll never tell
Look to the skies for a spell,
Oh I want to believe
I'd trade my soul for a kiss
Damn bee did make shippers hiss
The basement that we all miss,
The truth is ou-out there
Their gaze was holdin',
red speedo, skin was showin'
black oil, smoke was blowin'
Why'd they have to kill the Gunmen?
(Chorus)
Hey, I just met you, And this is spooky,
But we love X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
We need to see them, Mulder and Scu-lly,
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
Hey, I just met you, And this is spooky,
But we love X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
And all the other grays, Try to take me,
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
Why can't they kiss in the hall?
And Mulder's there with the call,
He wants to play some baseball,
Hey Mul-der it's me
Flukeman, Pusher, Jose Chung,
They scared us when we were young
That awesome poster he hung
How we miss it all!
Their gaze was holdin',
red speedo, skin was showin'
black oil, smoke was blowin'
Why'd they have to kill the Gunmen?
Chorus
Hey, I just met you, And this is spooky,
But we love X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
We need to see them, Mulder and Scu-lly,
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
Hey, I just met you, And this is spooky,
But we love X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
And all the other grays, try to take me,
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!

Another film would be so grand
We need it so bad
We need it so bad
We need it so so bad
Another film would be so grand
We need it so bad
And you should know that
We need it so, so bad
We need a third film and don't mean maybe!
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
Chorus
Hey, I just met you, And this is spooky,
But we love X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
We need to see them, Mulder and Scu-lly,
We love the X-Files, So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
Another film would be so grand
We need it so bad
We need it so bad
We need it so so bad
Another film would be so grand
We need it so bad
And you should know that
So GREEN LIGHT BABY!
