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

- Earl Grey Tea
- Klingon language
- Kirk vs Picard
- More?
Star Trekkin’ - The Firm
At what timestamp does the reference show up?
Yes.
Gonna show my age here but Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys ends talking about the Vulcan nerve pinch.
Not as old as Star Trekkin’.
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.
Benjamin Sisqó
It had to be done. I apologize for nothing.

- 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 LuftballonsCaptain 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.

We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.
I love that B52s song! Love that you mentioned it.
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.
Will always upvote a Voltaire ref. Love this song.
Mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like OP did make a list and it got lost in some federation weirdness.
Up next
Big Ben Klingon
After him
There’s no one else
They could afford
To bring on
Beastie Boys “Intergalactic”.
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr Spock
I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of “Sabotage” in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.
T’Pau is literally named after the trek character.
In 1998, Rod Stewart recorded a cover of the Star Trek: Enterprise theme three years before the series premiere.
You had to mention that song didn’t you?
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.
Great song (Banditos) by a great band (The Refreshments).
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.
Banned From Argo by Leslie Fish
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 🙌
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
Something may have failed to federate properly, but OP did make a list.
I thought it was a weird subject line but I love that everyone ran with it anyway
