While this is a good meme, it distracts from Leonard Nimoy’s own most fascinating musical career. I’ll leave it to you lurkers to discover that career all by yourselves.
Aaand, fast forward:
god I love lemmy so much
I do hope you've all been using that link instead of Rick Astley.
Not sure if it's Nimrolling, Spockrolling etc
A Bilbo Baggins song with Vulcan ears?
Clearly I'm not doing enough drugs for this to make sense.
Only song I know of his is the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, and it friggin slaps. Are there any others that reach the same level?
"...he's only 3 feet tall!"
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock
INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY
PLANETARY INTERGALACTIC
Fun fact: "Pinch on the neck" actually refers to Spock's method of grabbing the spindle of the record with the tips of his fingers when DJing, achieving a distinct slowdown effect that's been used to this day.
Well, it would be fun if it were a real fact.
Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic.
Well, now, don't you tell me to smile...
Spock out here ghost ~~riding~~ writing the ~~whip~~ hip-hop. Def written by a Vulcan.
The Beastie Boy’s “Sabotage” exists at least in the Kelvin universe. It would follow that “Intergalactic” also exists in world of Star Trek. Therefore it follows that Amanda Grayson must have been enough of a fan of classical music to name her half-Vulcan son after a catchy Earth beat.
