The Long Road

I'm offering a free lunch (25$ limit!) to whoever can track down the video (I'd even settle for an mp3) of the ST:TNG commercial that they used to air on CHRO. It was a series of quick cuts through clips of the first few seasons of the series to accompany the following lyrics set to Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire.

Jean Luc,
Geordi's Specs,
Mysteries on the Holodecks

Asteroids,
Triple Droids,
Telepathic Betazoids

Transporter
Deadly Claw
Visitor from LA Law

Photons,
No Kirk,
Captain has gone berserk

Shuttlecraft,
Counselor Troi,
Doctor Crusher's little boy

Klingon Rites,
Parasites,
New Heights,
Phaser Fights,
Data's Head,
Tasha's Dead,
Riker's Hangin' by a thread

Celebration,
Transformation,
Everyone to battle stations

We didn't start the series,
It's the Next Generation
on your favorite station

We didn't start the series,
But when we are gone it will
still be on and on and on...

We didn't start the series...

Believe it or not, I didn't even know about Billy Joel's song back then, I just thought it was an incredible commercial.
