While this is a good meme, it distracts from Leonard Nimoy’s own most fascinating musical career. I’ll leave it to you lurkers to discover that career all by yourselves.

A Bilbo Baggins song with Vulcan ears?

Clearly I'm not doing enough drugs for this to make sense.

I do hope you've all been using that link instead of Rick Astley.

Not sure if it's Nimrolling, Spockrolling etc

Only song I know of his is the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, and it friggin slaps. Are there any others that reach the same level?

If you try to knock me you'll get mocked

I'll stir fry you in my wok

Your knees'll start shakin' and your fingers pop

Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock

Fun fact: "Pinch on the neck" actually refers to Spock's method of grabbing the spindle of the record with the tips of his fingers when DJing, achieving a distinct slowdown effect that's been used to this day.

Well, it would be fun if it were a real fact.

Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic.

Well, now, don't you tell me to smile...

The Beastie Boy’s “Sabotage” exists at least in the Kelvin universe. It would follow that “Intergalactic” also exists in world of Star Trek. Therefore it follows that Amanda Grayson must have been enough of a fan of classical music to name her half-Vulcan son after a catchy Earth beat.
