The musical legacy of Star Trek

[Stumpy Pepys]

There are of course, the somewhat improbable recording histories of both Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.

There's Star Trekkin by The Firm and Leonard Nimoy by Freaky Realistic. And I'm sure there are several more examples.

Can we claim T'Pau?

I've just found two mixes (with links to the tracks used) with dance and hiphop that reference and sample Star Trek. I'm going to hold off linking just now in case it kills people suggesting things.

Where's Captain Kirk? - Spizzenergi.

There's also the group S.P.O.C.K (Swedish group) who I remember doing a song called Dr McCoy. Wikipedia suggests they have done quite a few Star Trek related tunes but the Dr McCoy one is the only one I remember.

99 Red Balloons features the line "Everyone's a Captain Kirk"

Turns out Nichelle Nichols recorded a couple of LPs too.

(And I've spent my entire life up to now thinking she was called Michelle.)

The Semisonic song 'Never you Mind' includes the lyrics

Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table
Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain

Where's Captain Kirk? - Spizzenergi.

And the follow-up Spock's Missing

I really wanted to hear this, but there's no consensus online as to whether this is a real LP, an unreleased LP or a Photoshop mock-up.

The Beastie Boys mention Spock in Intergalactic, and have in return featured in every one of the most recent movie franchise, with Kirk supposedly being a huge fan.
Not sure how much hearing Spock mentioned in Intergalactic would have fucked with his mind.
