I was listening to the B-52's today and was inspired to come up with pop music that was somehow inspired by, or at least mentions, Star Trek. Make it so!

"Star Trekkin'"--the Firm (NOT the Jimmy Page project)
"Where's Captain Kirk?"--Spizzenergi
"Song for a Future Generation"--B-52's ("wanna be the captain of the Enterprise")
"99 Red Balloons"--Nena ("every one's a Captain Kirk")
"Pure Energy (What's On Your Mind)"--Information Society (soundbite of Spock)

ARTISTS
T'Pau
Spock's Beard

Jimbo, I'm assuming we're excluding material recorded by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, et al? (the artists formerly known as "Star Trek", or TAFKAST for short :yay: )

Otherwise: Shatner's 'The Transformed Man'; Nimoy's 'Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space"; ...

Oh, I can't go on. BwahaHaHAHAHAAA!

As we think of songs to add to this list, we should all be singing "Yaaay brother". :lol:

Young Fresh Fellows - Update Theme

(not in the title, but some of the lyrics are inspired by the Star Trek episode with the "hippie" cult who are going to "Eden" jamming with Spock ("we reach").

Thanks. Every time I think I'm through disappearing, life gets crazy again.

Hey, as long as we hear from you every now and then, that's cool. Just good to know you're still around.

I'm still gonna tease you about the Bay City Rollers and yes, I'm still banned.

I think Linda has issued a "perpetual banning" to me. Then again, she wouldn't do that, because then she couldn't ban me whenever her heart desires.

But I digress...

and yes, I know...I'm banned!

:banme:

It's really good to see you checking in here, Ven. You are missed. And just remember folks, when you go to a strange planet, just don't eat those hot apples as you attempt to find Eden. You remember what happened to the guy, don't you?

Is that the version that starts "No one likes the Young Fresh Fellows, no fans anymore"?

I played that from the B-side of a 45 on a college radio show I had in '91 or '92. Been looking for that for ages.

I don't remember those lyrics, but I could be wrong. I do have it on a 45, though (but I'm pretty sure it's from the 80's).

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

Step from the tables as I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock
