Vid! "Born Too Late," DS9 ensemble, historical roleplay theme

I was going to wait to post this until after the holiday / start of the new academic year, since few people are likely to be interested to begin with, but patience, I don't have much. Here we go!

Title: Born Too Late
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Characters: Ensemble, gen, with background pairings
Length: 3:17
Music: The Clarks
Summary: Life in the 24th century has its perks, but that doesn't mean its citizens don't yearn for the days of lounge singing, princesses, pulp SF and… Vikings?
Physical/content warnings: None I can think of.
A/N: For my Kink Bingo "historical roleplay" square. Because boy, does Star Trek love playing dress-up from bygone eras of Western culture. Including pasts that occur in our own future. It's part compliment and part self-referential affection. One day there'll be a trans-Trek vid like this, complete with TOS reenacting ancient Greece and Rome and gangsters and Shakespeare and hanging out in '80s San Francisco, and TNG with its Robin Hoods and noir detectives and Westerns and Sherlock Holmes and HMS Enterprise and...
Credit: Anyway, thanks to my f-listers who tried to help me find the perfect historical roleplay song—it exists somewhere, I know it—and to kuwdora for suggesting how to deinterlace the footage.
