Goodbye, Scotty.

Just for the record, "Beam me up, Scotty" has a lot in common with the phrase "Play it again, Sam."

In that it was never actually said that way? Because Bogart said, "If she can stand it, I can. Play it, Sam."

Yep

There were a few Beam Me Up Spocks but never a Beam Me Up Scotty.

Someone in another thread said s/he (don't recall who it was) found a "Beam me up, Mr. Scott."

There's Klingons on the starboard bow! Scrape them off, Jim! :D

What a great song. Alas, poor Scotty.

I always hear the third line as :
"Under Captain Kirk."

Could be. It's been many years since I've heard it.

Embarrassing admission time:
I have a copy of the record.

I think the closest that it come to 'beam me up scotty' was the whole 'X to beam aboard Mr Scott' thing they did a couple of times..

unless it's something that come from the animated series...
