Back in 1998, Texas Christian pop band Sixpence None the Richer hit the mainstream with their sweetly schmaltzy track. Last year, the song was (finally!) translated into Klingon. Of course, “kiss me” isn’t a phrase that is particularly common in the Klingon tongue, so they substituted something equally romantic for a Klingon — _Dah Hlchop_, or bite me. While the moving musical tribute came out last year, it’s one trip down memory lane you’ll want to walk down again and again. Luckily, it’s Flashback Friday, so you can spend the day watching this video over and over again and if anyone dares complain, tell them _Dah Hlchop_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3516779/sixpence-none-the-richer-kiss-me-klingon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3516779/sixpence-none-the-richer-kiss-me-klingon/"},"headline":"Sixpence None The Richer's 'Kiss Me' Sounds Even Better In Klingon","datePublished":"2014-10-17T17:41:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:52.299Z","description":"So romantic.","url":"https://time.com/3516779/sixpence-none-the-richer-kiss-me-klingon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral","Videos","Star Trek"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3516779/sixpence-none-the-richer-kiss-me-klingon/","name":"Sixpence None The Richer's 'Kiss Me' Sounds Even Better In Klingon"}}]}] ```
