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

    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.

    • 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.

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

    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.

  • 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 🙌

    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.
