Ceti Alpha 5 (a STAR TREK parody song of "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega)

[@RoulinBrooks]

The song is maddeningly catchy, I'll give him that. It's stuck in my head, like a Ceti Alpha eel.

[@redshirtveteran5688]

Ceti Eels, literal ear worms!

[@keithrigsby-je5ui]

uhhh-huh! i see whut u did ther! Purty-kewl!!

[@suburbohemian]

Just brilliant! My aunt worked on the set of Fantasy Island and I got to go there for a whole shooting day, and I met Mr Montalban. He even moved his chair to sit closer to me and my best friend, who came with me, and chatted with us between takes. He was SUPER nice!!! He'd have gotten a real kick out of this cus he loved music. He even played his guitar for us!

[@StarRekt]

Wow! That is amazing! What an incredible memory 😊

[@sarahhalliwell1102]

Mambo No.5 mit Kirk und Kahn zu verbinden ist überraschend lustig.

[@GameKeeper28]

And they say there's no such thing as a perfect parody song.

[@tomshady3530]

You're slaying me dude! Awesome, awesome body of work. So well done. Awesome for any star trek fan.

[@StarRekt]

Thank you very much! 🖖🏼😊

[@ericathesuckup]

The yell in the chorus being Kahn actually made me laugh so hard

[@n.rv..n]

Kahn as in Lenara Kahn, the chick who kissed Jadzia in that one episode of DS9 Khan as in Khan Noonien Singh, the former ruler of earth (Im sorry for being "that guy")

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

@@n.rv..n Similarly, so many people think that the 40th President was in The Exorcist.

[@kestrelpounces]

@@jonathanmarkoff4469 Nicely nested reference! 👏👏 OMG that was a much deeper rabbit hole than I expected. Trickle Down Exorcisms for all! 🤣 It’s also an understandable belief. I myself often confuse The Exorcist with Home Alone, which of course cameoed 45. I find it helps if I keep the films’ color palettes straight. 🍊🙃

[@MaskedMan66]

Genius!

[@stephanpiminger5301]

And Kirk shouting "Kaaahn!" actually sounds just like this😂 in the Star Trek2

[@trynda1701]

You managed to fit in SO much from "Wrath of Khan" into this parody, including the "Khhaaannnn!" scream! Kudos! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎 And well done for the tribute to Nichelle, so sadly lost to us just before you released the video. Another of our heroes had left us. 😢😢😢😢

[@twiff3rino28]

Funny the Miranda Class ship (Reliant) last appeared the year this song came out (1999, on DS9's last season).

[@Amazonianarya]

KHAAAANNN!!! I'm now convinced that Khan sang this while dancing and blowing up the enterprise, and only you guys could make murder/genocide sound so fun. Worth the wait!

[@oogiev2]

Excellent song and video and the tribute to Nichelle Nichols is touching and classy.

[@NickMueh]

I actually got to meet Nichelle Nichols on my birthday years ago along with the rest of the Fab Four (Doohan, Takei, and Koenig). This was part of a cabaret show. She even stopped to sing me happy birthday during it. Man she had a great singing voice. An experience I will always cherish.

[@oogiev2]

@@NickMueh You are lucky.

[@StarRekt]

I had the pleasure meeting her at an event 4/5 years ago. When she was signing her headshot for me, her hand was shaking, she looked at it and was like “nah, I can do better”. I said “oh that’s perfectly fine” and she said “no, no, no. You deserve the best”. 🥰

[@leorange420]

i thought this was going to be a silly song but its actually a banger 🔥🔥🔥

[@phoe8523]

This is the best of all your songs so far. Catchy and matching the story and giving me the fibes ^__^

[@vinnynj78]

I plan on watching a 40th anniversary showing of the film at our local theater next month. When the credits roll this is the song I will have playing in my head.

[@StarRekt]

I am honored! 🖖🏼

[@swk38]

i find it amazing that starfleet has gadgets that can detect life on planets, but cant count them

[@LarryH4879]

Khan was so psychotic because he had one of those eel things in his head and it liked it there. It never left!

[@jameswilkerson4412]

Heard the news about RFK Jr.?

[@laurapeter3857]

Thanks for the Ceti Alpha V earworm - the non lethal kind!

[@AegisNova]

I’ve been discouraged because so many of the Trek and science-fiction sites are resorting to really bad puns to get their humor, lately. I can appreciate good pun as well as the next fan, but they are just…not. This is the proverbial breath of fresh air! Keep up the great work!

[@StarRekt]

Thank you! But you may be disappointed in the future. I cannot promise a pun-less channel 😜. But I’ll save you the PUNishment for now. Oh wait… sorry 😁

[@AegisNova]

[@StarRekt]

Thank you so much! 🖖🏼😊

[@x_trio_3_po333]

In re-watching this, I have to say that it takes a certain level of genius (or madness) to link "Wrath of Khan" to "Mambo No. 5". I cannot view either without thinking of this awesome parody.

[@StarRekt]

Thank you very much! And I also completely understand. STII is my favorite movie of all time and I even ruined it for myself with this. No matter how gut wrenching Spock’s death is, I cannot help but think of Kirk going up and down on that ladder. It’s the dumbest thing and I am suffering along with you! 🖖🏼😝

[@Albert23456]

Can't stop laughing lol

[@Carl_Frank]

It fits just too perfectly! Amazing.

[@StarRekt]

Thank you very much!🖖🏼😊

[@x_trio_3_po333]

This was too good! It seems that Weird Al Yankovic now has some serious competition! It also reminded me a bit of the Key of Awesome's parody of Spock. This is certainly better than SNL's 1976 sketch of the OS Star Trek with Jim Belushi as Kirk, and Chevy Chase as Spock (I want my ears back!).

[@StarRekt]

Thank you so much!! 🖖🏼😊

[@retluoc]

This is still my favorite of the original series movies. Now I'm trying to think of an appropriate song to parody Star Trek 4. Maybe a parody of Skin Tight Jeans (Katy Perry).😄

[@mikesdogs6275]

Is it logical to enjoy this tune so much?! I say YES! Love the editing. 🖖

[@StarRekt]

Your logic is quite sound. Thank you!! 🖖🏼😊

[@AdrianLonewulf]

Omg, im gonna be singing this all day long 😂

[@JonTanOsb]

Terrific, as always. :) Nice dedication to Nichelle Nichols at the end. Back in the sixties, they didn't have synth equipment to hit the high note at the end of the theme song. She sang it. Did you know the original Star Trek theme had words? I would love to hear you sing it with your own words, a love song for the series from the fans. Jon (an old Trekkie) in rural BC, Canada

[@johnburns9634]

Nichelle was also followed by a Legend. First African American to kiss a white man on American Television, Sammy Davis Jr was the second, kissing Carroll O'Conner on All in the Family.

[@nardo218]

SUCH FUN!! I really loved the editing on this one. Also never noticed til now how much they reused this movie's props for TNG? SO MUCH stuff! LLAP! We love you!

[@StarRekt]

Thank you so much! 🖖🏼😊 And yeah, the pool of resources that particularly early TNG had to use for props and costumes were all from the first 4 movies. Not exactly a full catalog.
