Random Leonard Nimoy at Museum of Science

Back in the mid-80s, the Boston Museum of Science had an Omni/IMAX theater that played this introduction to every movie in order to show off its sound system. The woman narrator is incredibly perky and annoying.

BUT! There is LEONARD NIMOY!!! Which is why I'm sharing. This isn't my video, I just found it when I was googling for the audio of this.

First, Leonard Nimoy at 1:00

Secondly (AND MOST AWESOMELY!!!) Who Put the Bomp? at 1:17

And finally, just a tiny bit at 3:13

ok, I gotta admit I was a little on the fence about whether or not to approve this, but the female narrator obnoxiously chirping, "Leonard Nimoy! He's Spock -- from Star Trek!" totally put me over the edge. HILARIOUS.

And "Who put the bomp? In the bomp shabomp?" "Niice." WHAT? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? This is amazing.

A few years ago I went to the Boston science museum on a school field trip. It was an incredibly dull experience and I was cranky and tired and wanted to go home. And then walked into the theater and this came on. I squeed with fangirl joy and was all FUCK YEAH IT'S LEONARD NIMOY! And all my non-trekkie friends were deeply confused.

Long story short, random Leonard saved my day.

Oh my god this made me laugh so hard.
I was just SO not expecting that.
Like, wtf?
I LOVE IT.
Oh my god that made my life like so much better.
His voice is so serious when he says "Who put the bomp in the bomp shabomp."
ONLY LEONARD could make this amazing.
HE IS MY HERO.

God now I'm listening to the song.
Oh god LMGQMFAO.

I didn't know who Leonard Nimoy was back then but I still thought the intro was SO COOL.

I find it absurd that they kept that obnoxious woman through the 90's and 2000's but didn't have Leonard Nimoy anymore!!
at least I don't recall his voice...but I didn't know who he was then.

tbh all I associate with that omnimax is getting sick. I have thrown up 3 times due to that theater, now I just sleep if I'm there with school or something. :(

I've never been to the Boston MOS, but I was a planetarium geek as a kid. I know I've seen planetarium shows that had Nimoy narrating, but I don't know what they were called.

ha! i just saw an interview on youtube that Nimoy had done when Search for Spock came out and he was shown recording a voiceover for some planetarium in NY i believe.

So today I couldn't stop saying

My friends were yelling at me to STFU.

Back in the 80s, there was a male voice that had a dialog with the perky female voice. The "he grew up three blocks from here" was an answer to him asking, "Leonard Nimoy? Why him?"

Nimoy's comments make much more sense with the original intro, instead of just the perky woman.
