"Redshirt" is a Jonathan Coulton song written for the novel Redshirts by John Scalzi.
History
"Redshirt" was debuted on May 29, 2012 at the end of a two-week interview series with John Scalzi on tor.com called Journey to Planet JoCo.
Availability
"Redshirt" was first posted to YouTube. On June 2, 2012, JoCo added the song to his store.
Interpretation
"Redshirt" is a reference to the fact that on the television show Star Trek, minor characters donning red shirts were frequently killed off. The military theme of the song contributes to this interpretation.
