For those who are not in the know, behold. You're going to have to because I certainly can't fucking describe it.

Such an annoyingly catchy song.

I'm having sulfur burps this morning from taking ozempic, which which woke me up vomiting into my CPAP mask, which forced the vomit in my mouth to violently spray out my nose. Somehow, you managed to make my day worse, lol.

ON THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE UNDER CAPTAIN KIRK!

I apologize for nothing.

Perhaps this will change your prospects.

We had this record when I was a kid. One day it was mysteriously broken when we went to put it on for about the 500th time. I can’t imagine why.

Ho lee sheet. I am amazed and disturbed in more ways than one that I have just seen this for the first time.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

It's just so fucking bizarre. It feels like such an insane fever dream. Like the Star Trek version of the Willy Wonka scary tunnel.

Yeah baby that's a classic! It's also one of those songs that's commonly misattributed to Weird Al for some reason.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

That's easy enough to explain! Dr. Demento gave that song airtime and started Weird Al on his path to stardom. Lots of songs got misattributed to lots of people.

An Internet classic. Congrats to today's lucky 10,000.

As soon as i saw Uhura the goddamn trumpets started in my head

[–] ArtKingOfTheBrits@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Now it's stuck in my head again.

That was aggressively awful.

I love this, not sure what it means about me that this is in my main Spotify play list... I was introduced as a child and it may have broke something

Shouldn't it be klingons off the starboard bow? Or are they going for a space walk

[–] theforkofdamocles@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Must be. Like when Worf and Picard disconnected the Borg communication device from the deflector dish in First Contact.

I bought a 12" of this back in the day

I love that whenever a long lost obscure/novelty music video gets posted on the internet, more often than not it's from Rage. What an institution. I'm so glad I grew up watching it till the wee hours of the morning.
