And Now, A Musical Interlude

Thursday, September 2, 2010

John and I are about to hit the road for Dragon*Con here in a few minutes, but first, let's all take a little moment with Kirk. And his mountain.





I think this is going to be our road trip's theme song.

Oh, and thank you, whoever it was among you who reminded me of this song in the comments recently. I'll be thinking of you during hour #7 of our drive while I'm singing, "Captain Kirk is climbing the mountain why is he climbing the AAAUUUGGHHH!!!"


And for the rest of you: stay tuned for Dragon*Con goodness! (Wheee!)

HOLY MONKEY! This is so awesome it hurts, but in a good way.

gypsyariana said...

Oh, that was the song of the Con all last year when Shatner was here!

We also have video of my husband, who cosplays as Jack Sparrow, in front of Everest at WDW Animal Kingdom saying "Captain Jack is climbing the mountain, why is he climbing the mountain?"

Because we are dorks. Big ol' Disney loving, DragonCon going dorks.

And now that song is stuck in MY head.

Wm shatner is messssed up. "sinuey guys??!?"

Melinda said...

I have never seen that before, and now I can't get it out of my head. Now somebody needs to make a mix of that song and the "Double Rainbow" autotune to come up with the ultimate ear worm. LOL

Lynn said...

Well that's going to be stuck in my head all day. I must share this with others so that they too will know my pain.
Thanks!

Jessica R said...

@gypsyariana .... is that video posted somewhere??? :) :)

Jen, LOVE this. Can't believe I've never seen it before, but am glad to have it remedied.

As a COMPLETE aside....I MUST HAVE this
Mthis t-shirtY TEXT.
Bazinga! ... or the tote bag. Or the... yeah, I'll be on cafepress for a while.

Awesome! I have to admit that I had to google Dragon Con... and now I want to go! I'm a huge renaissance faire geek (have all the costumes and everything), so this is right up my alley. Can't wait to see the pics when you get back!

MissRon said...

See, when I'm driving in my car, I much rather have THIS to listen to. :-D

Captain Kirk is chewing the scenery. Why is he chewing the scenery?

kathym said...

Shatner abso-freakin'-lutely ROCKS!

I've never seen that before- it is now one of my all time favorites.Ever.

Have you ever though about the great contribution your writing is to society?

Heidi D said...

I can't wait to see the pictures! (rubbing hands together)eeeeeeeee!

Anna said...

And now I know the infamy that is Shatners 'singing career'. Wow.

Aimee said...

OMG, that's awesome. I've never seen that.

Now I want to see the original bit from which they made the song, because...WHY????

Shawnette said...

If you have the opportunity and haven't already done so, check out Leanard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins on Youtube. My husband once put it on a mixed CD of "relaxing" music for me. He thought it would be cute.

Drawn to Caricature said...

It could be worse! Leonard Nimoy's "The Ballard of Bilbo Baggins" perhaps?

Oh, great... Now I'm doing "Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the... why is he climbing the mountain?" AAAAAAARG!

TokenFemaleGamer said...

That was excellent!!!!
=D
Have fun at Dragon Con.

pivosquared said...

When you hit hour #7 and the mountain is driving you insane, just think of this:

It's a world of laughter, a world or tears.
Its a world of hopes, its a world of fear.

And so on.......

PFuchs said...

Have a great trip! I can't wait to see the pics! You've turned me on to both Steampunk and the "Cons." I'm working on my SP home decor and costumes, but time just won't allow me to get to Dragon Con or anything like it for quite awhile. So this fellow Floridian shall live vicariously through you.

gypsy@Hebrews11:13 said...

I just laughed hysterically. My hubby is gonna die-he LOVES Star Trek (TNG is his fav, though). Thanks for sharing!

Mom2JandK said...

Oh, my...I shouldn't have watched that at work. I'm crying...thank you!

Maria said...

Heh, I work at the company who made the Star Trek mmo, and videos like this make regular tours around here.

For some reason I love that "song" and video. Also amusing is Tik Tok with Spock and Kirk. Or NIN's Closer with Spock and Kirk. (Disturbing.)

Tesha said...

OMG that is fricking AWESOME-SAUCE! I'm so going to torture all my friends with it now! Totally awesome-sauce!

Danielle said...

heh The strangest thing about the hobbit video is everyone has Spock ears except for Spock!

Anonymous said...

I'd never seen that before! Thank you so much for sharing! That was hilarious!

WV: sporea - the lesser known Star Trek universe race of people who live a parasitic life as spores upon the humanoids who co-habitate their world . . . together they climb mountains. Why? Because they are in love.

Jules said...

that was great! Well, great as in... ok just great :) Darnit if I won't have that little refrain stuck in my head now!

shakinghandswithtoday said...

This is amazing! I watched it about a billion times. I love it! Thanks for making my life better and happier today by sharing this.

Kittybeth said...

Now I have a ridiculous mix of "Captain Kirk is climbling the mountain..." and "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!" stuck in my head. o.O

Scotland said...

that is hilarious... but whoever was evil enough to suggest "it's a small world"; that was sick and evil and wrong.

physikerin said...

I am obsessed with this video now. Thank you. ;)

Kacie-Face said...

I found some Crafty-ish Paintings today that I think you'll like. Also, just wanted to brag that my husband is at D*C for work (Lucky !@&%*) and just did a one on one interiew with STAN EFFIN LEE in his suite! AND!! AND!! on the way down to the lobby while in the elevator with "Stan" (as he put it, *eye roll*) who steps on at the next stop? None other than Marina Sirtis aka Counselour Troi herself! Ugh, I'm a jealous fit! lol he said that both of them couldn't have been nicer.

Amauriel said...

This is yet another reason that I love your sites so much, Jen.

I'd seen this before, but not in a while. Definitely made my 3 o'clock work hour!

Robin said...

I had this song stuck in my head ALLLL day long. Thanks. Really, thank you. Of course people were probably wondering why I was snickering to myself all day too. :)

Bakingdom said...

I watched this first thing this morning and I STILL can't get it out of my head. Thanks Jen.

This is my favorite mix ever! I even put it on iTunes. I'll start singing it randomly whenever it pops into my head. My boyfriend doesn't think it's as great as it really is though.

MissNay said...

oh this was a bad choice immediately before bed. Because Im in love.

Tindi said...

Shawnette, I don't know whether to love you or hate you for that. My brain asploded too hard to be sure. xD
