Low hanging fruit, but White and Nerdy by the great one.

At what timestamp does the reference show up?

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Gonna show my age here but Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys ends talking about the Vulcan nerve pinch.

[-] zout@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Not as old as Star Trekkin'.

This slaps, I'm getting Hasil Adkins vibes. This is you?

[-] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I had a lot of free time a while back and I made a ska punk album in my living room!

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

  • Nena - 99 Luftballons
99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

Captain Kirk is mentioned in both the original German and the English version. The reference is actually moved to a different verse in the English version so that it still works.

  • The B-52s - Song for a Future Generation
Wanna be the Captain of the Enterprise
Wanna be the King of the Zulus
Let's meet and have a baby now!

This one might could also be a reference to any one of the many Navy ships with the name, but I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.

I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.

We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago

I love that B52s song! Love that you mentioned it.

Beastie Boys "Intergalactic".

Like a pinch on the neck of Mr Spock

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 6 points 2 days ago

I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of "Sabotage" in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.

The obvious winner must be Benjamin Sisqó and “Thong Song”.

Admittedly a little out of character and morally dubious, but a certified banger all the same.

[-] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 10 points 2 days ago

Benjamin Sisqó

It had to be done. I apologize for nothing.

I think we're supposed to come up with the songs. I'll start.

Oh man I forgot all about this dude. I saw him at so many cons over the years.

[-] TheRagingGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Will always upvote a Voltaire ref. Love this song.

Something may have failed to federate properly, but OP did make a list.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago

I thought it was a weird subject line but I love that everyone ran with it anyway

[-] Cascio@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

How no one mentioned the Information Society song "What's On Your Mind" (Pure Energy) yet is beyond me. A song with multiple clips from Star Trek along with Spock saying "Pure Energy" over and over.

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

In 1998, Rod Stewart recorded a cover of the Star Trek: Enterprise theme three years before the series premiere.

[-] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You had to mention that song didn't you?

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

T'Pau is literally named after the trek character.

I was going to say this one.

I caught this video in the middle of the night on MTV and was sad because I could not remeber who sang it. I tried repeatedly and finally caught it again and bought the CD.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Great song (Banditos) by a great band (The Refreshments).

Jacuzzi by Radio Radio, an Acadian rap group bragging about the size of their massage pool

Tu peux voir mon jacuzzi de la Deep Space Nine

You can see my jacuzzi from Deep Space Nine

Starships were meant to fly

My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I'm firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌

99 Luft Balloons

[-] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

The Mighty Underdogs - Science Fiction

Has almost an entire paragraph about Star Trek.

Joe Satriani's Crowd Chant was originally going to be called Party on the Enterprise and would have included Trek sound effect samples, but he couldn't get the licensing to work.
