Rod Stewart version of the song:

My rare non-OC, but contextually relevant.
This is right up there with “zazu in the lion king was originally written to be voiced by Chris “Rimmer” Barrie” on my personal list of “shit that suddenly makes a wild amount of sense”
I thought the whole issue with the song was it not matching the tone for a ST intro theme. Why shouldn’t someone like it in another context?
There is no reason to dislike this song.
I don’t hate the song, but how in the fuck do you start a workout to that?
Maybe if you’re starting with light stretching…
Or just warming up by staring across the Midwestern plains and soul searching…
Or getting motivated by rubbing decontamination goo on yourself, and a crew-mate?
I can’t not see a montage of biplanes to space shuttles when I hear that version
Better late than never.
perhaps Trip playing “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” whenever T’Pol came to do Vulcan accupressure was in hindsight a bad idea
I like this song. I like the intro sequence. The show’s writing was the only thing that disapointed.

Ooh, I never get to ask this question: Do you have a preference between the initial version and the season 3 version? I always felt like they changed it because they got the feedback “fans don’t like the song” but they didn’t really know what to do with that feedback, so they wound up with a rewrite that sounded almost, but not quite, exactly the same. But I am in the group that never really vibed with either so I find it hard to draw comparisons. Curious to get a perspective from someone who liked the intro.
I preferred the first by far. S3 felt flat and souless.
That tracks. It felt like someone at the show really liked the first version but someone at the network made them change it, so they were like “fuck it, put a tambourine under it idk” and called it good enough.
