I made this about 3.5 years ago and forgot about it, never uploading it anywhere. Sorry for your pain.
In Roth v. United States, 354 U. S. 476 (1957), the Court sustained a conviction under a federal statute punishing the mailing of “obscene, lewd, lascivious or filthy . . .” materials. The key to that holding was the Court’s rejection of the claim that obscene materials were protected by the First Amendment. Five Justices joined in the opinion stating:
"All ideas having even the slightest redeeming social importance – unorthodox ideas, controversial ideas, even ideas hateful to the prevailing climate of opinion – have the full protection of the [First Amendment] guaranties, unless excludable because they encroach upon the limited area of more important interests. But implicit in the history of the First Amendment is the rejection of obscenity as utterly without redeeming social importance. . . . This is the same judgment expressed by this Court in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U. S. 568, 315 U. S. 571-572: "
". . . There are certain well defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene. . . . It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality. . . ."

I rewatched Enterprise a year or so ago I managed to do it without hearing the song once. I was diligent enough about it during my first watch through that eventually I was able to wipe the song from my brain by quickly changing to another earworm.
I can’t, for mental health reasons, watch your video. But congratulations on making a worthwhile abomination that will traumatize people for years to come.
The incredibly frustrating thing is that other than the song, the Enterprise intro is really good! I love the “ships named Enterprise through the ages” motif. BUT THAT SONG THOUGH.
Yeah. It also has more sense of adventure than other entros.
I wish I was never born to hear this, thank you for sharing.
I am filled with a blinding, murderous rage.
I assume that was the intended effect and you have done a wonderful job.
Thank you. It was somehow worse than I thought. The endless looping of “I’ve got” in the background while the enterprise slowly flew past was a great touch. Keep up the good work.
Now that I saw this, I need one with Knight Rider and one with Benny Hill theme to calm down.
