It was a sad weekend for nerds the world over who learned on Friday (or in the case of Australians, woke up to the news on Saturday) that Leonard Nimoy had passed away. For anyone who has been living under a rock for the past fifty years, Leonard Nimoy played Science Officer Mr Spock in Star Trek, both the TV shows and several of the movies (he even had a cameo in the JJ Abrams reboot in 2011). He was an actor, director, photographer, poet, and teacher, but he’ll always be known as the logical pointy-eared half-human, half-Vulcan.
In honour of Mr Nimoy, I have this fabulous little song that he recorded in 1967. It’s actually incredibly cringe-worthy, but glorious once you get past that. 😛
Since that is not actually the lasting memory anyone wants to have of Leonard Nimoy, here’s a compilation of Spock at his snarky, I mean, logical, best.

That song was extremely painful to listen to. Yet I felt compelled to listen to the whole thing!
He’ll be missed.

I had the same reaction. I was mildly embarrassed for him through the entire thing, but never thought to stop it. Odd.

What sucks is that I now know for sure, for sure that I will never meet him. Before, it was just improbable, not impossible. 😦

I played that song for my 7yo son who loved it. I thought it was cute, too. Thanks for stopping by, so glad I followed you here to see it.
