Having some fun - the Enterprise Sequence from ST-The Motion Picture, if it were scored by John Barry and Henry Mancini. Kirk has never been more in love with his ship
If Jerry Goldsmith had gone to the premiere, and like Alex North, heard this kind of music instead of his own, it would have been the worst outrage in film music history. Same if he had been replace by a rock score, classical needle drops, or anything else. Warner Bros. tried to get rid of Miklos Rozsa on TIME AFTER TIME. We should be thankful it didn't happen on TMP.
At least the people on the Star Trek: The Motion Picture Facebook group thought it was hilarious (yes I posted it there).
The whole idea was to literalize Kirk's romantic infatuation with his ship. I thought the Mancini song really complimented Shatner's blissed out facial expressions.
Don't get me wrong, I love this scene and Goldsmith's score for it. Was just having some fun I thought others might appreciate.

Perhaps I was wrong...
No, it's fine! And I guess it's kind of funny if you think of it like that, like "Of course it would never happen."
Obviously this is a fan edit because his name isn't John... It's Marc. It's in the movie.
Marc: Mr. Chekov, when do those devices reach final position? Chekov: 27 minutes Marc.
Plus how can the Enterprise come to Marc when it's still being worked on in dry dock? It's like asking the transporter chief to throw you a rope when it's a perfectly nice non-technobabble interfering day to use the actual transporter.
The Mancini part worked for me, and that's absolutely un-ironic. The Tom Jones bit made me feel as if I was watching "High anxiety 2 - Shrinks in space". Then again, I think that was what you were aiming for so: you won.
I don't have access to post on youtube (don't want to jump through silicon valley's new world order hoops.... yet) but if I had, I'd post a combo of the "Airwolf"opening title sequence with the score from "Falcon crest" under it. Less jaring and confrontational for some of the crowd here.
I'll say one thing, it shows what a great actor Shatner really is. He's looking at nothing yet totally conveys the look of "a man in love" without saying a word. Do you have any idea how hard that is to pull off?
Some priceless syncs of film and music here. All by itself a good object lesson in the power of music in film (for good and, um, not so good ).
I've been a Star Trek fan for something approaching 50 years, since I was an 8 year old fascinated by Lincoln floating in space. I'm so fond of this film I may well get to the theater next month to see it live.
Dreadful.......stupid....and disrespectful to the memory of both Goldsmith and the classic film. Find something better to do with your time.
Wait until you get a load of what I did with "Mommie Dearest" - it's now almost wall to wall to Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Fred Steiner, and Akira Ifukube, lol. I suppose it's disrespectful to Henry Mancini this time around.
But you haven't lived until you get to see Joan Crawford go crazy to Fred Steiner's "zap chords" from Charlie X. Or Joan Crawford first getting introduced to the baby Christina, set to "Vejur Flyover."
LOL
