Anything Star Wars Can Do, Trek Can Do Too… Especially Sing “Call Me, Maybe”
Remember that version of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me, Maybe” made entirely out of Star Wars voice snippits? Well, here’s the Star Trek: The Next Generation rendition. I’m not sure the version of the song is better than the Star Wars version, but I will admit the video has two distinct advantages: 1) more people screaming dramatically, 2) shots of Q doing anything. That omnipotent, pan-dimensional goofball really takes the material to a new level, which is probably the Q Continuum. Infinite thanks to Stefan W. for the tip.
