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

PICTURES!!!!!!! Jim in the background is like there they go again… And McCoy does his little hmph. It’s magical. XD
I miss these guys….”the Shat” was one of my first crushes..I remember watching TOS on its first run on tv…sitting in lime green recliners…..hey it was the sixties!
There really wasn’t anything like them back then – or now, no matter how fun the Abramsverse is. I just wish DeForest Kelley was still alive to hang out with Nimoy and Shatner. :(
Yeah..thems were the days..
