"LETS GET SPOCKED"
Parody lyrics by Mark Jonathan Davis & Rob "Iceman" Izenberg
(parody of “Let’s Get Rocked” by Def Leppard)
Original Release: 1992
Re-Release: 2021
“Kirk to Enterprise.”
“Enterprise, Spock here.”
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get....
He’s your green-blooded Vulcan logical dude
“Fascinating!”
Livin’ long and prosperin’, in a mind-meld mood
He’s with Kirk, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, on a five-year trek
And if you ever piss him off, he’ll just pinch your neck
It was Tribbles, Klingons, Romulans
Sulu’s at the wheel
Kirk had sex with aliens
Did he put on his deflector shield?
Now Doctor McCoy is startin’ to panic
“Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor, not a mechanic!”
Beam me up, Scotty, to the Enterprise
Hey everybody, energize
Warp drive power, phasers on stun
It’ll just take an hour, rerun, rerun, rerun
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“I am not capable of that emotion.”
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“Fascinating!”
He’s had pointy ears, for thirty years
Come on, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“Reading goes off my scale, Captain!”
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“Most illogical reaction!”
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“You’re out of your Vulcan mind, Spock!”
“Logical, flawlessly logical.”
C’mon, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“Spock out.”
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get Spocked
“It is somewhat stimulating.”

Thanks to this I haven't been able to get the real Tom's Diner stuck in my head without ending up on I Dream of Genie. Probably the most successful piece of entertainment I've ever seen.
I didn't know about this, funny! 🤣
This is now favorite song 😅
Good one
Richard Cheese is Funny, and Clever AF🎉😮❤😊Enjoy🎉
Wow, I remember this ad when I was a kid!
🎼I am sitting on the sofa 🛋️, there’s a tv in the corner 🎶
The Iceman himself originally sang this. He used to be a DJ for Phoenix rock station KZZP in the late '80s. In 1988, KZZP got together with one of the Phoenix nightclubs and threw a beach party. Sand was hauled in to make a volleyball court, and the guest of honor was Bob "Gilligan" Denver. Did anybody who's reading this happen to go? I did!
Fantastic! I remember hearing this on "Tom's Album" back in the day, I'm so glad I found it again! 🍶✨
stay deeeemented!
Thanks for posting this, brother. I remember trying to record this off the radio in 1987
Luke kissed his sister; his hand got cut-off.
This song still lives in my head from my youth, had to search it up all this time later.
Perfect song for the Star Wars balloon my brother got me
Thank you!!! I was trying to remember the TBS promo/commercial to advertise reruns of the Andy Griffith Show. Just visited Mt Airy, and I’ve got my official ‘nip it in the bud’ sticker for my car.
I found this searching for music in that old Windows Media Player, around 2005, 19 years later I finally found it again.
Holy moly, this has lived in my head rent free for THIRTY YEARS. I was 15 when these Nick at Nite promos were on. At 45 years old, I still remember and love them.
Thank you for having this posted. I had a weird, vivid memory about listening to this song on Napster when I was in like 5th grade and I was downloading "weird al" songs and for years I thought this was something he did.
So, this was before he became Richard Cheese?
I deadass thought Suzanne Vega did this version exclusively for Nick At Nite.
This song has been stuck in my head for 25 years.
Same
Recorded by DJs in my home state of Arizona!
JEANNIE! :D :) :D :) :D :)
Thanks for posting this!
I liked the bit where he said Shatner.
"cooking like Connie Chung" hahaha
"It's kind of like 'Bewitched'" 🤣
I knew this existed!!! So happy I get to see this again ❤❤❤❤❤
Could possibly be the greatest and most important parody song in the history of mankind. Mark's SW Cantina song is awesome as well.
Nicely combined two seventies melodies 👍🙂
I probably looked for this off and on for ten years, then just gave up. I'm glad it's finally here!
I've been looking all over for this.
aw maaaan. We'll miss ya, Bob.
Show was hilarious 😂
I remember finding this in the early days of UA-cam. Fun times.
Lol now I remember what this thing was that kept having Major Nelson going “JEANNIE?!!” 🤣 I couldn’t remember what promo it was.
I like the words to the song are on the menu.
This tune gave me my name.
I wonder if Madonna watched Gilligan's Island in the 1960s.
I love this so much. Just saw an interview with Suzanne Vega on Professor of Rock, thought about this parody, and had to comment. I loved this interstitial so much back in the day, it reminded me of old NIck-at-NIte (ike 1986-1990). This was 94-95, back in the "good ole days"!
Same for me. I saw that and then did the search for this.
Excellent song! 😊
Cool! The entire OT in under 3 minutes
Lol I found it at last! I haven't heard this song in years. Just got reminded of this in some random reddit thread just now. I thought it was by Weird Al.. The more you know 🤷🏽♀️
What... I was a HUGE Mark Jonathan Davis fan all growing up (technically I still am: he is now more commonly known as Richard Cheese). I thought I had everything he'd done - just learned about this one. Well, it's going in the collection now. :D Very well produced, too, mashup-wise. That said, I see multiple comments about this living rent-free in my head for 30 years... talking about MJD and living rent-free: "At the star wars, star wars cantina... the weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a... music and blasters and old Jedi masters..."
June 13, 2024 1:10am EST. This song randomly pops in my head. 😂😂
I truly thought this was a fever dream I once had. I can’t believe this is real!
People don't realize back then that it was a huge pain in the ass to cut clips from television and all that. We didn't have unlimited amount of sampling space back in those days. You really did some great work here. I missed most of this stuff. And I subscribed. Maybe, if things are really great you'll make some more tunes keep that up man. We all need a laugh.
This was the last Doctor demento song I heard that they stopped broadcasting it in Colorado years earlier that a friend of mine had family in Nebraska and he recorded this song when he was there. Cool. Didn't know you did this as well not
Awesome!...
Omg I finally found it again!!!
