If you haven’t seen the movie STV: The Final Frontier, you don’t know what you’re missing! Let me give you a hint…


Cue Kirk, Spock, and McCoy camping in the middle of Yosemite park.

KIRK: I haven’t sung around a campfire since I was a boy in Iowa. Wait a minute. Bones, what are we gonna sing?
McCOY: How about ‘Camptown Races?’
KIRK: ‘Pack Up Your Troubles.’
SPOCK: Are we leaving, Captain?
McCOY: It’s a song title, Spock.
SPOCK: Ah.
KIRK: ‘Moon Over Rigel Seven?’
McCOY: ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat.’
KIRK: ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat.’ I love ‘Row, Row… Do you ‘Row, Row, …Row Your Boat’, Spock?
SPOCK: That song did not come up in my research, Captain.
KIRK: The lyrics are very simple. It’s ‘Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, …merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.’ The Doctor and I will start it off and then when we give you the signal you jump in. Doctor if you please.
McCOY: Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
KIRK/McCOY: ‘Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream merrily, merrily, merrily, …merrily, life…’
KIRK: Come on, Spock? Why didn’t you jump in?
SPOCK: I was trying to comprehend the meaning of the words.
McCOY: It’s a song, you green-blooded Vulcan. You sing it. The words aren’t important. What’s important is that you have a good time singing it.
SPOCK: Oh, I am sorry, Doctor. …Were we having a good time?
McCOY: God! I liked him better before he died.

Then later…

KIRK: ‘All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.’
McCOY: Melville.
SPOCK: John Masefield.
McCOY: Are you sure about that?
SPOCK: I am well versed in the classics, Doctor.
McCOY: Then how come you don’t know ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat?’

Ah, McCoy. You slay me, always! XD
