    If the Beastie Boys and their music exist in the Star Trek universe, isn't Kirk going to be floored one day to find that they sang about him and his crew?

    @aubreyf: Probably safe to assume that the "Last Action Hero Principal" will be in effect. They would probably end up singing about Boba Fett or Martin Landau.

    @Chimaera: Oh, excellent! I was talking with a friend and that's what we figured. Either that or someone time traveled back to the 20th century (in Star Trek this rarely happens!) and met up with The Beastie Boys.

    How about this: "Sabotage" was used in the Star Trek film because "Sabotage" is an awesome fucking song. The end. #startrek

    Wait?

    "Pulling a train like Captain Kirk?"

    Isn't pulling a train slang for gang rape? #startrek

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Technically, "pulling a train" is when one person has sex with multiple people in sequence (ie, one at a time, not all at once, vis-à-vis a gangbang). There's nothing inherently involuntary implied in the term.

    @everyone: Oh ok.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Can't believe I thought it meant the wrong thing...

    Geez, no wonder everyone keeps looking at me funny whenever I bring it up during family get togethers!

    Haha, a little over two years I made a Robocop Rap. Sadly, it was complete shit.


    I'm glad people with actual talent also had the idea to make one that does the concept justice. :D
