Shatner Of The Mount by Fall On Your Sword

[@anttiremsu2696]

Few moths ago I was bored and I made this sticker saying "Why is captain Kirk climbing a mountain?" and I glued it to this box on my home street. Weeks went by and I happened to walk by that box again, and I noticed something: there was a sticker underneath my sticker that said "because he wants to make love to the mountain". For a brief moment I felt that I'm not alone in the universe.

Can't get over this song for a while now.. Definitely one of my KZbin favorites. This video strikes a chord (the same chord), brutally, through a few things: Shatner's attitude, the retro look and sound, and Star Trek, which, even if it deals with the future, is the 'retro' generation :D It gives a sense of coolness that happened and can never be reached again, hence the extra nostalgia... And this is true, THIS will never happen again, but thanks to the author & KZbin we'll have it forever.

It's probably been 5-10 years since this last popped into my head, but I was just listening to a podcast where someone said they'd hug a mountain, and instantly my brain comes right back here. In a wild coincidence, the person on that podcast was Tig Notaro, who plays Jett Reno in ST:Discovery. She's also completely blind to basically any sort of pop culture reference (let alone niche old meme culture), so it's just a weirdly perfect moment of synchronicity, and I love that 😚👌
