It's an hilariously low-fi solution to a huge problem, and while some might dismiss it as too silly (Trekkies can be a fickle bunch), it's a totally bada** moment thanks to use of not just a great song, but a song that has quite the history in the rebooted Trek franchise (as young Kirk favoured it in the first film's flashback sequence).
