1976 Mad Star Trek Musical


Shatner and Nimoy have a laugh at their expense during filming.



In October of 1976 I found this issue of Mad which featured an awesome Trek spoof, "Keep On Trekin': The mad Star Trek Musical," one of many Trek parodies they did. I have just about all of them, from the first onward, and I'll feature them all sooner or later. But this one had an awesome cover painting, one of my favorites. As always, click on the images to view the Angry-God-Apollo-Sized scans. Enjoy!

So the other day my brother calls me and tells me he heard "Yesterday" on the radio and thought of me. He asks me, do I remember "Pinkus East" from the MAD Magazine Star Trek parody issue, when we were kids?

Naturally I do and I recite the first verse for him. His wife is laughing her ass off and calling us "dorks" in the background as my brother finishes the song.

I then Google it and order him a copy of the magazine for his birthday next month. Let the circle remain unbroken!

Hi Frederick,
Do you have the MAD Magazine shown in the Shatner/Nimoy picture? Could not find it on your blog. I've just posted the comic strip to my Journal, but the quality is not that good. Anyway, if you want to check, here is the link: tintorera.livejournal.com/4463.html
