Hey, the man deserves shore leave after all. He's the commanding officer of one of the most important outposts in the Alpha quadrant and Emissary of the Bajoran prophets.
Fact: Originally it was supposed to be Space Oddity by David Bowie. They couldn't get the rights so it was Colm Meaney and Alex Siddig's idea to sing an english drinking song.
As stated above, It would be a miracle that either character would be singing this song. (I've had friends from Commonwealth countries express some rather hard feelings about colonial rule.) Either it was an inopportune choice or things are copacetic on Earth like you are saying. Also, for the record, Alexander Siddig is Sudanese-English, not Lebanese: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Siddig Finally, the Bashir character was born in London, so the RP accent would probably be real.

Rocket Man or Space Oddity would thematically fit the ep. This, though, worked, as both characters are from the English sphere of influence and it shows them both cultured, familiar with drinking songs and the copacetic state of culture of people who live in those spheres in the 24th century. This moment was as Trek as it gets without involving a zooming space ship.
Gosh, great stuff. These two will never get old in peoples' memories. Time will go on & people will look back at this scene in a hundred years & laugh, cry and all the rest, just like we did when we watched it for the first time.
Funny how Colm Meany is a stanch Irish Republican and Sinn Fein/IRA supporter singing such a English song , Colm supported Martin Mcguinness when he ran for the office of Irish President
This scene is tied with the, "Buffy gets drunk with Spike," moments in, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ("Life Serial") as my favorite, "Main characters get drunk," moment. :D
I loved Bashir's character before they decided to make him "genetically enhanced". It's so frustrating, they changed his character and now he seems more angry and serious. You can tell he hated it. I loved the more down to earth, happy Bashir. =( I'm in the middle of season 6 and I just don't enjoy watching it as much now. I watched it specifically because I loved Dr. Bashir's character and I can't believe they changed him! I suppose they did it because his ratings were low, which I don't even see how that is possible... Dr. Bashir was always my favorite. He was so sweet and kind and now he's a robot in the later episodes...grr
BlinkinFirefly I am the opposite opinion. I don't think Bashir hated the part and I loved the idea he was a non crazy genetically superior individual who didn't flaunt it. He used his abilities when he needed too and reminded others he had a quicker mind and enhanced skills when they forgot or doubted him. Bashir to me doesn't seem less happy because of the that plot change but because now they are in a bad and bloody war with death and dying so maybe he has matured enough and is feeling the effects of a war no one saw coming and how brutal it has been on everyone. He still had his great cheerful moments through out the rest of the season :)
If Julian was augmented, making him better in most areas to regular humans, in both intelligence and eye and hand coordination at least. What about his metabolism and or ability to take alcohol?
I bet this scene has been the inspiration for so much slash fiction... Just tell him you love him, O'Brien. It's okay- everyone's gay for Dr. Bashir XD
This begs the question: Would Dr. Bashir's augmented and enhanced abilities allow him to recover from alcohol faster than generations of Irish lineage and alcoholic evolution? Also, would Sid actually drink alcohol in real life, as I believe he is a practicing Muslim?
So he's kept the Irish accent and quite a few of stereotypical stereotypical Irish but it's only taken till they what the 23rd century something to sing about building a paradise in England as part of their culture there's hope
My gay uncle always said alcohol can bring two men to the brink. Miles almost pushed past it but he couldn't make out the look on Julian's face and how he would react lol. But I think in two more drinks Keiko would have a decision to make in the morning!
"Professional members of Starfleet"
meanwhile the commander of the whole station is off space sailing to cardassia
Hey, the man deserves shore leave after all. He's the commanding officer of one of the most important outposts in the Alpha quadrant and Emissary of the Bajoran prophets.
Any scene with Bashir and O'Brien is pure gold.
Their bromance is one of my favorite things about this show.
"I hated you when we first met! But now..."
"But now...?"
"Well now, I don't".
My favorite moment in allllll of Star Trek
It also looks like Miles can hold his drink, and is sober enough to realise that singing Jerusalem in Quark's will end badly ;)
Haha!
Well he is Irish, just like the guy that portrayed him so well, Colm Meaney. I’m part Irish an Irish have been drinkers forever
Best bromance in Trek.
An Irishman singing Jerusalem? Wow it really is nice and peaceful in the 24th Century. :P
jedsithor after brexit the United Kingdom becomes more united
Jamie Webster no, he’s Indian, he just has his UT set to an English accent like Picard & Troi.
Backup account for Cooldaddyjames. He’s half-English, half-Lebanese

I love how O'Brien can hold his liquor better!
It's an Irish thing lol.
He's used to it
Well, what did you expect -- Indians can't hold their liquor. LOL
try out drinking welsh colliers
@@egosumhomovespertilionem Which is mad considering he's going against a genetically engineered superhuman who can control his hormones at will, and such and such
Hehehe O'Brien is so drunk he can't even get the replicator to work.
After all these years I have not notice that until you said it 😂
2:30 "I really do! 🤔 Not hate you any more."
O'Brian is a man's man. He can tell you his feelings, but not quite fully... "I used to hate you, but now I don't."
This is why DS9 is one of my favorite Trek series.
Apparently the original script had them singing "Rocket Man" by Elton John.
Aww! That would have been hilarious!
Just like Shatner!
For all I love hearing them sing this because it sounds so silly, I think Rocket Man would have been better personally. :P
They couldnt get the rights

I really hope they did this while method acting
Hic
I love when friends talk drunk. Most times makes no sense to anyone, yet those friends 2, 3 or 4, it all makes perfect sense to them!
This is what I want my friendships to be like. Just hanging out, singing some shanties and possibly drinking a bit too much.
I like Julian Bashir in this state😝. Julian and the chef are really very funny when they are drunk.😝
Laurence Lajoie O’Brien can really cook.
@@backupaccountforcooldaddyj7895 I'd give anything for a big fat dollop of O'Brien's potato casserole.
Sweet Jesus, I just stumbled upon footage of me and my little brother.
Gosh, great stuff. These two will never get old in peoples' memories. Time will go on & people will look back at this scene in a hundred years & laugh, cry and all the rest, just like we did when we watched it for the first time.
I love that they were drinking buddies irl
I really love this scene, but by Kahless' Hand, how in the shit did they NOT have them singing "Minstrel Boy"?!
My God I remember watching this on TV when it actually first aired lmao
Only the camping scene in Star Trek 5 beats this.
This scene was so bloody amazing lol
This is so wholesome
I wouldn't exactly call England's National Hymn "Jerusalem" a drinking song, even though I'm sure it's been sung drunk innumerable times.
Ironically, the melody for America's anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner", actually used to BE a drinking song!
You would have to be drunk and squeezing your testicles to hit the high notes of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as it was originally written.
I mean what could be more american than making a drinking song into our anthem??
@@tadious9415 launching an imperialist war against democracy on a global scale. The most Muh'rican thing.
.. and very shortly thereafter Keiko and young Molly enter on a surprise visit from Bajor.
This scene is extremely relatable.
Funny how Colm Meany is a stanch Irish Republican and Sinn Fein/IRA supporter singing such a English song , Colm supported Martin Mcguinness when he ran for the office of Irish President
the IRA united Ireland in 2024 according to Star Trek sooo
Based Colm
Wish it was minstrel boy, or as a nod to the original series, I’ll take you home again Kathleen!
I really do . . . not hate you anymore 🤣🤣🤣
I just listened to, "Oo-De-Lally," from Disney's, "Robin Hood." I instantly thought of Bashir and O'Brien. :D
Miles and Julian running through the forest
Jumping fences, dodging trees tryin to get away.
Great bromance scene!
I never thought of "Jerusalem" as a drinking song.
When you’re that drunk, anything can be a drinking song
It's interesting, it's so rare to see anyone in Star Trek laughing.
Sounds like you haven't seen much Star Trek
I dont hate you Dr Bashir ;-) x
This scene is tied with the, "Buffy gets drunk with Spike," moments in, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ("Life Serial") as my favorite, "Main characters get drunk," moment. :D
This smells of no homo.
Lmao
I love DS9 & esp these two :-)

He was so sweet and kind and now he's a robot in the later episodes...grr
BlinkinFirefly Sounds like the desperate ploy of awful writers.
Cynicalguy89 Indeed

I am the opposite opinion. I don't think Bashir hated the part and I loved the idea he was a non crazy genetically superior individual who didn't flaunt it. He used his abilities when he needed too and reminded others he had a quicker mind and enhanced skills when they forgot or doubted him. Bashir to me doesn't seem less happy because of the that plot change but because now they are in a bad and bloody war with death and dying so maybe he has matured enough and is feeling the effects of a war no one saw coming and how brutal it has been on everyone.

Wars will do that to ya.
Bashir is the weakest character in DS9. He mostly annoys me.
i LOVE this scene in season 3 !!!!! ^-^
I love this scene!
That I would have really liked to see!!!!
... I genuinely do this too when I'm drunk. Oh to be a Rugby League fan...
I was laughing so loud I couldn’t hear the dialogue
0:15 WTF? Did I just watch an irishman turn down a drink??
Since we don't see the glass in the shot, it's possible Miles is getting Julian to NOT pour the drink on the floor....
Colm must have hated filming this scene lmao.
Pure gold
I really do!... not hate you anymore!
If Julian was augmented, making him better in most areas to regular humans, in both intelligence and eye and hand coordination at least. What about his metabolism and or ability to take alcohol?
Guess his parents wanted just specific things to be improved and metabolism was not one of them. :D
Alcohol is poison. The ideal response is probably to puke it out as soon as ingested. That's no fun though
Well with practice, I'm sure you guys will get there
I aspire to these men and this scene.
"But now...?"
LOL
This is the The scene of true Bromance ha ha
Besties
I bet this scene has been the inspiration for so much slash fiction... Just tell him you love him, O'Brien. It's okay- everyone's gay for Dr. Bashir XD
Misty Mountains - The Hobbit))
I see extensive research was done down at many a local
Never pegged Miles as a Protestant
Jerusalem! Someone there's a Monty Python fan.
JERUSALEM
And here I thought "Jerusalem" began with Emerson, Lake, & Palmer.
That's no SYNTHANOL!
I want a mattress!
1:27 Was he genuinely laughing?
Well I think he wanted to finish the song first...
This episode was kind of lame but this scene is awesome none the less.
This begs the question: Would Dr. Bashir's augmented and enhanced abilities allow him to recover from alcohol faster than generations of Irish lineage and alcoholic evolution? Also, would Sid actually drink alcohol in real life, as I believe he is a practicing Muslim?
All right, who said "mattress" to Mr. Lambert?
So he's kept the Irish accent and quite a few of stereotypical stereotypical Irish but it's only taken till they what the 23rd century something to sing about building a paradise in England as part of their culture there's hope
He downplayed his Irish accent on TNG and they asked him to sound and act more Irish to make the show have more of a cosmopolitan feel
Who better to sing this? 😊
Crusades
Can we get a version of this in it's original Klingon???
I'm thirsty
in his defence, they are singing an english song, that might of turned him off
My gay uncle always said alcohol can bring two men to the brink. Miles almost pushed past it but he couldn't make out the look on Julian's face and how he would react lol. But I think in two more drinks Keiko would have a decision to make in the morning!
This should be England's national anthem.
CiaranMcVeigh nah, Land of Hope and Glory.
What's the episode?
“Explorers”
Why would an irishman know the lyrics to an English hymn?
Because this particular Irishman is living in the 25th century...?
Who is the "she" they are talking about?
brianr101010 Jadzia(Julian Has a crush on her)
No, it's not Jadzia. It's Julian's colleague from Medical Academy (she ignored him, because she simply didn't recognize him).
Wouldnt happen in TNG 🙄🙄🙄
