I hate you

Not Weird Al at all. And the punk was Kirk Thatcher:

...Your knowledge of the STAR TREK franchise knows no equal, sir! I thank you, also.
I knew this, too. : pouts, pats self on back: ;) Also, if you want to see something weird, look over his IMDB.

And it isn't Weird Al *at all* - it was made because Kirk Thatcher didn't want some cheesy pop song at that point in the movie, but something sincerely representing the actual punk rock that was supposed to be there. And having listened to the whole track many times, as well as other examples of the genre, I would say he did a good job and that if he failed in any way, it might be that the track is actually slightly too enjoyable and listenable compared to most punk. :klingon:
 
Also Kirk is credited in the film and on the Intrada album. This isn't really secret information.

Funny thing is, it's a song about hate, written by a guy we love for writing it, apparently.
 
It's more convincing than the Kurgan listening Queen (of course, Hard Rock material, but too sophisticated for the purpose) in Highlander.

I know how he acted in the movie, but he *was* hundreds of years old. He probably had whole years or even decades where he just chilled and enjoyed stuff without killing anyone - and he liked Sinatra, apparently, too.
 
Be sure to buy the album.

Actually, the group name was "Edge of Etiquette". My daughter loves this song. Kids these days, I tell ya.
The Punk on the bus was given name "Vomit" in the Caption Contests ( possibly by cooleddie) and was a popular photoshop element for a while. The faux album cover above was an entry.

hah hah for a second I thought that was an actual album, and I was like :cardie:

But after your little tidbit of information I was like :guffaw::rofl:
