Mashup of William Shatner’s Common People and Star Trek Animation

kirkslashspock has created a brilliant mashup of the Star Trek animated series and the cover of Pulp’s “Common People” by William Shatner from his album “Has Been”. The video was done in the style of the Kirk/Spock stories.

Almost from the beginning, fans noticed the loving nature of the relationship. A few fan writers started speculating about the possibility of a sexual relationship between Kirk and Spock. The Kirk/Spock phenomenon eventually took on a life of its own, and became one of the driving forces in Star Trek fanzines during their heyday.
