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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

Beastie Boys "Intergalactic".
Kirk@startrek.website · 6 pts · 79d
I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of "Sabotage" in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.

Mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like OP did make a list and it got lost in some federation weirdness.

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

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