Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" May Actually Be About Star Trek

Dear Ke$ha: you're among friends here. You can admit that "Tik Tok" is actually a love letter to Star Trek.

​

Ke$sha <a href=http://www.esquire.com/the-side/qa/kesha-pics-081309>has admitted that her hit pop song, "Tik Tok," was inspired by how she felt after an epic night of partying, with lyrics written in bits and pieces before she collapsed into a drunken sleep on her bed. However, a new video on YouTube shows that the song might secretly have been written as a narrative for the original Star Trek series' more epic moments.

The fan-made video is pretty hysterical, showing off just how much the crew from the Enterprise enjoyed playing dress-up, dancing, and fighting each other. There are a ton of big moments here: when Kirk wound up sitting on a Tribble, when Spock played the harp, when Uhura danced drunkenly, and when Sulu jumped out of a door shirtless (you're welcome, ladies) while holding a fencing foil. The frightening thing is that all of these scenes actually correspond to lyrics in the song.

Normally, I have no patience for this song and even less for Ke$ha herself, but I actually enjoyed myself when I watched the Star Trek video because it was just so goofy. Did Kirk really dress up as a Native American medicine man at one point? Apparently. Just like how the show apparently featured way more dance sequences than I remember seeing in the reruns I watched as a child.

The entire video is ridiculous, but it's funny and will make any Star Trek fan grin when they spot a moment they remember from the show. That's more than I ever smiled while watching the song's <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs>official music video.

Because this is an anime music video. You're right.

A friend linked me this earlier today. Pretty lulzy.

AMV? Star Trek is not an Anime. >.<

OT: That was cool! Better than most Fan Made Music Videos you can find. A hell of a lot better.

Calumon: I could make one... maybe... probably not.

Alright, that was hilarious. I had to laugh a few times. It didn't match up as much as I hoped, but it was still really well done.

 

[Heeman89]

Bretty approved 8)

[Tourette]

I wouldn't have know tbh as I don't listen to shit.

 

[Pimppeter2]

That was pretty hilarious. Kudos to those who made this.

I actually like the song, its catchy.

Can't you do that with any song and any series? How much I am impressed is inversely related with how much editing there is. Example: Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon required no editing and they sync up pretty well. This just forced the video to match the song. I am unimpressed. I am however greatly amused.

 

[Ringwraith]

Who'd have thought that two fairly terrible things put together would be so hilarious.

There certainly was a lot of doing nothing on the Enterprise.

Bah, I despise that woman's song. Feth, I hate all of her songs. My sister seems to love it, and every time she gets in the car she turns it on.

Maybe its the way she says "Everybody gettin crunk, boys try to touch mah junk"

BAJHAHAHJ BKLJBASO RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *Curbstomp's Babies face*

Yeah, I feel strongly about this issue

Also, why the hate? Was he asking for congratulations? No. Did he post something that could be relevant to the majority of visitors to this website? Yes.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

That was awesome, I am truly impressed.

 

[Morbid889]

Yeah, AMV actually means "Animated Music Video" It can fall into any category of media and still be called an AMV.

The topic title made it out to be like Ke$ha was a Star Trek fan and secretly wrote the song about Star Trek.

But really, this is just a boring youtube video, and I honestly feel like my time was completely wasted. Hence why I signed up to this forum, and now I will log out and never come back. Just had to say you wasted my time today.

This.

Amusing, but deserving of a news post? Meh.

 

[HK_01]

This video is not available in Germany, apparently. That sucks.

RAWR!

Your taste in music is different than mine!

RAWR!

Honestly, we all like what we like...And nothing anyone says should ever change that.

That said...It's good to remember those moments from Star Trek again.

Well, I'm just glad we could be of service...

I know what you mean, it isn't a great song, but its catchy enough to warrant a download.
