Hey all, Ernie here with a fresh one from David Buck , who is helping us maintain our mental-health-break status for this week. If you’re a Star Trek enthusiast, you will enjoy this one.

Today in Tedium : Some readers might have noticed my absence last month. Unfortunately, my father passed suddenly and I was out of commission for a while. As I looked through some of his stuff, I came across some things that reminded me of the times we would sit down together to watch Star Trek: the Next Generation or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . Thinking about those moments reminded me of some old files and pitches that I was working on a few years ago. I came across one idea and decided to flesh it out a bit: a piece on songs about a certain science fiction television show. If I recall correctly, the original outline of the piece was written for a certain site that ghosted me a few years ago. So, here it is, completely rewritten with fresh insights. So set your phasers to stun and beam up your sense of humor because in today’s Tedium, we’re going where no one has gone before: down the black hole of songs about Star Trek . — David @ Tedium

Today’s GIF comes from a claymation music video for the well-known novelty song “Star Trekkin’” by The Firm.

“And on no other show do I police myself as much, because I’m such a fan of Star Trek that it’s important to me that we are as funny as we can be without breaking Star Trek at all times and without being mean about Star Trek. With the network and with the studio, the conversations are mostly when I’m pitching an episode, I’ll be like, ‘Here’s what inspired this episode.’ And it’s always coming from a thing that I love about Star Trek, and then ‘Here are the things that we love about these characters, here’s how we want to explore them, and then this is why it’s going to be funny.’”

— Mike McMahan , creator of Star Trek: Lower Decks , discussing his approach to comedy on the show in a 2021 interview with Collider .

Where no musician has gone before (well, not really)

Last year, I discovered something rather silly: a radio station with an apostrophe in its call letters. I joked with Ernie that it reminded me of the Klingon language. This led to a very interesting journey about Klingon that ended up going pretty far and even made an appearance on Vice’s Motherboard —something for which I am eternally grateful. Revisiting this idea only further brings home the point that science fiction television can be a goldmine for weird stuff.

Star Trek has always been a great source of humor. Where Deep Space Nine and Picard readily take on more serious themes, there’s something to be said about the ever present sense of humor that runs a deep vein through most Trek shows. It’s in “The Trouble With Tribbles,” all over TNG (especially in some of Riker’s most memorable scenes ), interspersed between more maudlin moments of DS9 , and encapsulated by certain characters on Voyager . And that’s only naming a few shows! It’s not difficult to see the humor in the shows.

A few years ago, a surprising new Star Trek show was announced, focusing on the non-bridge crew of a “second contact” starship called The Cerritos . That show was Star Trek: Lower Decks . Created by Mike McMahan (who also worked on shows like Rick & Morty and Solar Opposites ), the show centers on a few quirky characters who aren’t officers but perform the ship’s grunt work. It’s hysterical and the characters are quite fun to spend 22 minutes with each episode.

With Star Trek: Lower Decks already two seasons into its run and a plethora of Trek shows coming out, it’s almost as if a renaissance for the series is upon us. Also, Strange New Worlds looks amazing.

Lower Decks goes out of its way to take itself less seriously, proving there’s definitely some room for a bit of comedy interspersed with the more abstract seriousness the show often aims to hit. What Lower Decks does so well is how it leverages that crazy sense of humor into the fandom at large. It sort of reminds me of what happens when enthusiastic, musically inclined fans get together to write songs about the show.

Music has always been integral to Star Trek . From the opening theme of Star Trek (TOS) onward, music has been an integral part of Star Trek , inspiring viewers and musicians alike. While each show’s own music is instantly recognizable, the program also inspired a great deal of music by other artists (often related to TOS ). You’ve probably heard “ The Trouble With Klingons ,” a pastiche created by Dennis Williams for a certain novelty song contest or “Spock Rap” by the animators at Will Vinton Studios (under the name The Neural Paralyzers ) in the ’80s. Admittedly, not everything in this category is great, but there are plenty of gems around. Here are a few artists/songs that explore strange musical worlds, seek out new melodies, and boldly sing where no one has sung before!

You won’t find William Shatner’s The Transformed Man or Leonard Nimoy’s Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy here. Likewise, we won’t revisit the original Trek theme and its lyrics . Rather, these songs and sketches represent unique takes on Trek by various musicians and comedians past and present.

5. “Banned from Argo,” Leslie Fish & the Dehorn Crew

“ And we’re banned from Argo every one, banned from Argo just for having a little fun…”

Filk music is full of talented musicians who share a love of science fiction and community. Filk music—folk music with lyrics based on science fiction—has a rich history , with a strong connection to Trek.

Leslie Fish is perhaps the genre’s best known figure. With her 12-string guitar and larger than life persona, Fish writes about science fiction and beyond.

“ Banned from Argo ” is an upbeat shanty with slightly twisted lyrics. The Enterprise crew goes on shore leave and various hilarious hijinks ensue. It doesn’t reference TOS characters by name, it’s obvious which crew members she’s singing about.

The first few lines of a song explore the mischievous misadventures of the crew checking out “every joint and bar” on Argo during their shore leave. Listeners then learn about the Captain’s sinful tastes and complex methods, the engineer’s ability to “outdrink space marines and a demolition crew,” and the first officer teaches the computer how to swear. It’s a shame what happened to the doctor … but I digress.

Surprisingly, Fish doesn’t seem to like the song much. As she states in several interviews (notably her brief appearance in Trekkies 2 ), the tune was written as quickly to fill out an album. It rapidly became her best known song—something she is a bit cranky about .

Leslie Fish has a large ouvre of other songs, both Trek related and otherwise. Her exuberant performances and love for storytelling shine during her performances. If you’re not a fan of folk music and/or sea shanties, you may want to give this one a pass.

If you enjoy her Trek music, check out the song “Carmen Miranda’s Ghost” and its accompanying anthology . For the full Leslie Fish experience, give Folk Songs for Solar Sailors a spin—if you can find it .

4. “Everything I Do, I Do with William Shatner,” Warp 11

”I don’t want to go to work, just wanna hang with Captain Kirk and if I had my way, I’d make it so…”

Dedicated to all things Trek , Sacramento’s Warp 11 built a career playing Trek -themed music. Originally devised as a “band that only plays Trek songs” for a one-time video project of bass player/singer Karl Miller, the idea stuck and Warp 11 was born. Two decades and six albums later, the band is still on their musical journey.

Through incredible energy, crunchy electric guitar, and hilarious lyrics, “ Everything I Do, I Do with William Shatner ” from 2002’s Red Alert perfectly reflects the band’s “mission statement” —to convert listeners into Trek fans. Despite its title, the song is about Captain Kirk rather than Shatner himself.

Effortlessly juxtaposing the manic energy of The Presidents of the United States of America and the killer chops of The Ramones with a wider mix of blues, rock, and punk styles. Add their DIY punk-meets- TOS cosplay aesthetic, and you get one very eclectic listening/visual experience.

With Warp 11, you’ll find songs about Q and Betazoids, an entire album covering The Borg, and a few sporadic tunes about Voyager . The band’s healthy mix of TOS and TNG material is the epitome of Trek music created by fans, for fans.

While I enjoy their music, it skews toward a teenager/adult audience and is definitely not for kids. Warp 11 are well known for their sense of humor and double entendre and they can be a bit R-rated at times, with mildly NSFW album art. Some of their stuff can be a bit of an acquired taste, but if you dig pink, scifi, humor, and Star Trek , they’re worth checking out!

For those interested in Warp 11, start with Red Alert , then dive into any of their post-2007 work from It’s Dead Jim onward, available at their website and most streaming services.

3. “StarDrek,” Bobby “Boris” Pickett and Peter Ferarra

“ To boldly go where everyone has gone before !”

What do The Godfather , the most famous Halloween song of all time, and Star Trek have in common? Bobby “Boris” Pickett, of course. After having his breakout smash with “The Monster Mash” in 1962 (we wrote about this classic novelty tune in 2018 ), Pickett forged a career as a writer, playwright, comedian, and songwriter.

In 1975-1976, Pickett got together with producer Peter Ferrara to record “Godfather’s Respect”—a song about the 1972 film set to the tune of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”—and an original spoken word spoof of TOS called “Star Drek” (not to be confused with the MAD Magazine spoofs of a similar name).

The sketch follows the daily operation of a parody version of The Enterprise and its crew, focusing on the most exaggerated aspects of each character.

It isn’t an outright mockery of the franchise and its fans, either. “Star Drek” is a carefully crafted satire of the genre that plays to the absurdity of the occasional technobabble used on the show, taking a light hearted approach to the action. We won’t spoil the punchline for you here.

Barrett Hansen—a.k.a. radio host Dr. Demento—included the sketch on his 25th Anniversary collection, writing the two were on opposite coasts during the recording process so Peter ended up doing all the voices himself. They shared the credits, as Pickett helped write the piece.

The sketch is uproariously funny every time you hear it—a rare accomplishment for a comedy/novelty song—full of nuance and spot-on characterizations. Of course, your mileage may vary. The humor may be a bit dry for some, but it’s a fun piece that holds up remarkably well today.

If you like Pickett and Ferrara’s style consider listening to Pickett’s The Monster Mash LP. For more Peter Ferrara, watch the Jonathan Winters specials On the Ledge and Spaced Out .

2. “Beam me up Scotty,” Terry McGovern

”Beam me up Scotty, oh beam me up Scotty, life sure is trouble below …”

Terry McGovern is known today for his voice acting (he was the voice of Launchpad McQuack in the original Duck Tales ), but he began his career as a radio broadcaster . Later, he would work in movies and television as well. In 1976, he released a Trek song of his own, “Beam me up, Scotty” on Baseball Records as a B-side to his rendition of the classic tune “ Pachalafaka .” You can hear the entire thing on SoundCloud .

Not to be confused with an obscure country tune of the same name, McGovern’s song is a quiet rumination on how boring/awful life on earth can seem sometimes. The singer longs to join the crew of The Enterprise and escape the banality of modern life.

The song received airplay on various radio shows, but languished in obscurity for years until being officially re-released on a compilation album in the early 2000s. While it may not be the most well known Trek tune, it’s certainly well loved .

McGovern regularly attends conventions and teaches acting classes—on top of his legendary voice work.

1. “Star Trekkin’,” The Firm

“ There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow… ”

The final entry in our list may be the best known: “Star Trekkin’” by The Firm. No, not Jimmy Page’s post Zeppelin band; this group was a side project of John O’Connor, a British music producer.

The song was popular in its own time—it hit Number One in the UK music charts and stayed there for quite awhile back in 1986—but took on new life in the internet age. It was used in one of the episodes of a Flash-based web series called Stone Trek (a mashup of The Flintstones and TOS ) and a claymation video makes the internet rounds every so often. Not bad for a novelty song that was rejected by every record company O’Connor approached. Then it became a million seller, prompting O’Connor’s move to America, where he went on to compose for television .

The Firm released a full-length LP, Serious Fun , that’s worth at least a slip of gold pressed latinum. “Star Trekkin’” is the best and catchiest of the tracks. Good luck getting the tune out of your head.

The number of songs in the Star Trek musical Boldly Go! Written by a Caltech theoretical physics graduate , Grant Remmen, and his brother Cole, the show is a humorous and satirical take on The Original Series . With songs like “Dammit Jim, I’m a Doctor” and “Captain’s Log (As Great As I Know I Am),” the show is well worth watching for its two hour runtime. According to a 2016 Caltech ad for the show, Boldly Go! is ”a story about being true to oneself and one’s convictions, about friendship and love, about discovery and wonder, about the triumph of the individual over adversity, and about the joy of sharing with each other this vast and mysterious Universe.” For those interested in such things, it’s available in its entirety on YouTube .

When I originally outlined this —several years ago now—it had quite a few more songs. But over time, my interest and enthusiasm for Trek has waned somewhat.

And of course we couldn’t fit all of our favorite goofy science fiction songs into this piece. But there are plenty of great Trek bands around like “one-chord punk rockers” No Kill I (and NKI: the Next Generation and NKI:Deep Space Nine; they’re all different bands), modern filkers Ookla the Mok , and the Klingon metal group Stovokor , whose performances take Trek music to the next level.

Songs and sketches about Trek continue to endure well into the 21st century and beyond and it will be interesting to see what strange musical moments the future of Trek fandom holds.

And although this piece no longer resembles anything close to the original idea I had for it, I’m glad I was able to take a quick reprieve from the insanity of our modern world to find—and share—some humor from the bridge of The Enterprise that can still resonate with audiences today.

Thanks again to David for the great piece. Find this one a worthy read? Share it with a pal ! And see you all next week.

The Star Trek Theme Song Has Lyrics

By eddie deezen | jul 20, 2018.

The Star Trek theme song is familiar to pretty much anyone who lived in the free world (and probably elsewhere, too) in the late 20th century. The tune is played during the show's opening credits; a slightly longer version is played, accompanied by stills from various episodes, during the closing credits. The opening song is preceded by William Shatner (as Captain Kirk) doing his now-legendary monologue recitation, which begins: "Space, the final frontier ..."

The show's familiar melody was written by respected film and TV composer Alexander Courage, who said the Star Trek theme's main inspiration was the Richard Whiting song "Beyond the Blue Horizon." In Courage's contract it was stipulated that, as the composer, he would receive royalties every time the show was aired and the theme song played. If, somehow, Star Trek made it into syndication—which, of course, it ultimately did—Courage stood to make a lot of money. And so did the person who wrote the lyrics.

WAIT... THERE WERE LYRICS?

Gene Roddenberry, the show's creator, wrote lyrics to the theme song.

"Beyond the rim of the star-light, my love is wand'ring in star-flight!"

Why would Roddenberry even bother?

The lyrics were never even meant to be heard on the show, but not because the network (NBC) nixed them. Roddenberry nixed them himself. Roddenberry wanted a piece of the composing profits, so he wrote the hokey lyrics solely to receive a "co-writer" credit.

"I know he'll find in star-clustered reaches Love, strange love a star woman teaches."

As one of the composers, Roddenberry received 50 percent of the royalties ... cutting Alexander Courage's share in half. Not surprisingly, Courage was furious about the deal. Though it was legal, he admitted, it was unethical because Roddenberry had contributed nothing to why the music was successful.

Roddenberry was unapologetic. According to Snopes, he once declared, "I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek ."

In 1969, after Star Trek officially got the ax, no one (Courage and Roddenberry included) could possibly have imagined the show's great popularity and staying power.

Courage, who only worked on two shows in Star Trek 's opening season because he was busy working on the 1967 Dr. Doolittle movie, vowed he would never return to Star Trek .

He never did.

If you're looking for an offbeat karaoke number, here are Roddenberry's lyrics, as provided by Snopes :

Beyond The rim of the star-light My love Is wand'ring in star-flight I know He'll find in star-clustered reaches Love, Strange love a star woman teaches. I know His journey ends never His star trek Will go on forever. But tell him While he wanders his starry sea Remember, remember me.

Old News, Vintage Photos & Nostalgic Stories

William shatner’s “the real slim shady” and other “star trek”-related songs you never knew existed.

Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek has become a phenomenon in the TV world. Even 55 years after its initial air date on September 8, 1966, the iconic series continues to inspire new TV programs and films.

Over the years, it has also inspired musical artists to create songs about the show. Notable cast members such as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy have also performed their own musical numbers. The songs range from pretty decent to downright awful, but they all have their place in Star Trek history.

Songs by Cast Members

William shatner’s notorious musical career.

William Shatner might have made his name portraying Captain James Tiberius Kirk in the original series of Star Trek , but he also pursued a musical career and released eight albums.

Rather than singing, Shatner’s style is to speak the lyrics in a dramatic manner. His first album, The Transformed Man , interspersed his interpretation of songs like “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” with dramatic readings of Shakespeare.

Universal mockery of this album didn’t prevent Shatner from continuing his passion for music. In 1978, he hosted the 5th Saturn Awards and performed Elton John’s “Rocket Man” in his own unique style. The performance has been laughed at but also lovingly parodied.

Always someone who is happy to laugh at himself, Shatner provided the voice of Captain Kirk in an episode of the science-fiction cartoon Futurama in 2002. A short but memorable section of the episode involved Shatner giving a spoken-word rendition of “The Real Slim Shady” by Eminem.

Jean-Luc Picard’s “Alphabet Song”

Sir Patrick Stewart is well-known for his tongue-in-cheek skits, and he is a stalwart of both stage and screen. But rarely do fans get a chance to see him mix the two together.

His rendition of “ The Alphabet Song ” is made even more perfect because he does it on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise in full Picard garb.

While this video has been shared across the internet, there seems to be no agreement on how it actually came about. Theories range from Stewart serenading Gene Roddenberry on set to the cheeky actor just playing around during takes. Whatever the motivation, this little video has caused many people to crack a smile.

“The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” by Leonard Nimoy

Not to be outdone by his co-star Shatner, Leonard Nimoy also followed a musical career alongside his acting. However, Nimoy only released five albums compared to Shatner’s eight.

In 1968, Leonard included on his second album, Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy , a song that ended up going viral when it was rediscovered by the BBC for a 1996 documentary called Funk Me Up, Scotty .

Written by Charles Randolph Grean, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” tells a musical version of the story told in J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit .

When required to appear on the Malibu U variety show in July 1967, Nimoy put together a little music video for the song. The footage was lost to obscurity until it was shown again by John Peel in the BBC2 documentary. After that, it’s been shared all over the internet and has become a fan favorite.

Many years later, in 2009, Nimoy treated fans to another, shorter but live rendition of the song at Fan Expo 2009 after giving them a little background as to how the song came to be born. The performance was caught on camera for everyone to enjoy.

Songs Inspired by Star Trek

“99 luftballons” by nena.

Many people had to wait until the German version of this song was translated into English before they could spot the Star Trek connection.

In the song, Nena buys 99 red balloons and releases them. They show up on the radar of various world powers who scramble to defend themselves from what they think are enemy contacts. Nuclear war is the result.

The lyrics are a poetic reference to the dreams of the German people after WWII. Captain Kirk makes an appearance with the words: “ Everyone’s a superhero. Everyone’s a Captain Kirk ,” referencing the fact that when the balloons appear on the radar, everyone races to be the first to intercept them.

“Star Trekkin’” by The Firm

At the top of any “inspired by” list is this 1987 hit created by a British novelty band. The performances are comedy renditions of the original characters. The voices were provided not only by the band, but also by a studio technician and the wife of one of the songwriters.

The lyrics are quite simple and repetitious, but include such gems as: “There’s Klingons on the starboard bow – scrape ‘em off, Jim!”

It’s a little-known fact that this song actually created one of the most repeated Star Trek phrases. “It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it” is a phrase from the song that was never actually spoken in the TV series. However, the lyric proved so popular and so in-keeping with the show that it is commonly misattributed to the TV program.

“Where’s Captain Kirk?” By Spizzenergi

The Star Trek reference in this song is not only more obvious than that in “99 Red Balloons,” it’s right there in the title.

The song charts how the singer is suddenly beamed onboard the Starship Enterprise . He wanders about for a bit, meeting all the crew except for Kirk. By the end of the song, it becomes clear that he can’t find Captain Kirk because he is Captain Kirk.

This 1979 single stayed at number one on the UK Indie Chart for seven weeks. The band also did two follow-up songs: “Spock’s Missing” and “Five Year Mission (Featuring the Return of Spock).”

“Starship Edelweiss” by Edelweiss

Austrian electronic dance band Edelweiss decided not only to make a song and music video heavily influenced by Star Trek , they also incorporated the main theme from the 1960s series.

They sampled Alexander Courage’s “Theme from Star Trek” and added some straightforward and repetitive lyrics to create a European hit.

“Ch-Check it Out” by the Beastie Boys

In a nod to the original Star Trek series, the music video accompanying this Beastie Boys single begins with the three of them dressed as Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beaming down onto Earth. A little later, the three of them get into a fight, drawing the attention of the police, before McCoy disintegrates the other two with a laser.

More from us: Lucille Ball is the Reason we have Star Trek

The Star Trek skit is only one among several in the video, which also includes boisterous, fish-throwing grannies. It shows how much effort went into the video that the song only lasts 3 minutes and 34 seconds, while the final 1 minute 34 seconds of the video is the credits of all those involved.

Theme from Star Trek

The "Theme from Star Trek " (originally scored under the title "Where No Man Has Gone Before" [1] and also known informally as the " Star Trek Fanfare ") is the instrumental theme music composed for Star Trek: The Original Series by Alexander Courage . First recorded in 1964 , it is played in its entirety during the opening title sequences of each episode. It is also played over the closing credits, albeit without its signature opening fanfare.

During the opening credits, the theme's opening fanfare is accompanied by the now-famous "Space: the final frontier" monologue spoken by William Shatner (with the exception of the pilot episodes, " The Cage " and " Where No Man Has Gone Before "). Throughout the opening credits, the theme is punctuated at several points by the USS Enterprise flying towards and past the camera. These "fly-bys" are accompanied by a "whoosh" sound effect created vocally by Courage himself. (Documentary: Music Takes Courage: A Tribute to Alexander Courage )

Conception and original use [ ]

Creator Gene Roddenberry originally approached composer Jerry Goldsmith to write the theme for Star Trek . Goldsmith, however, had other commitments and instead recommended Alexander Courage. ( Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) commentary)

Courage was not a science fiction fan, referring to the genre as "marvelous malarkey." He thus saw the theme he was writing as "marvelous malarkey music." Courage composed, orchestrated and conducted the theme in one week. He drew inspiration from a Richard A. Whiting song he heard on the radio as a child called "Beyond the Blue Horizon". This song had a drawn-out tune with a steady, fast-paced beat underneath it, which Courage emulated when composing the theme. (Documentary: Music Takes Courage )

The theme used in " The Cage " – the unaired first pilot – featured a wordless melody line by soprano Loulie Jean Norman supported by electronic underpinnings. When a second pilot was ordered and the series was picked up, Norman's vocalizations were dropped from the theme.

The first season of The Original Series used two versions of the theme. On the original NBC and syndicated runs, five episodes – "Where No Man has Gone Before", the second pilot, along with " The Man Trap ", " Charlie X ", " The Naked Time ", and " Mudd's Women " – used a mixed electronic/orchestral arrangement for the opening credits, with the main melody line created electronically and accompanied by more traditional instrumentation, including a flute and an organ for both the opening and closing themes. When the series was remastered for video in the early 1980s, only "Where No Man Has Gone Before" retained this version of the theme over both the opening and closing credits, while the opening was restored to the other four episodes and placed on five others when the series was remastered again for DVD release. The closing credits for the other nine episodes, however, used a version that had only an orchestral arrangement. The mixed arrangement was first heard on " The Corbomite Maneuver " (the tenth episode aired, although it was the second episode produced), after which the show opened with the orchestral-only arrangement.

Vocalization and lyrics [ ]

For the second and third seasons , Loulie Jean Norman's wordless accompaniment was re-added to the theme. However, Norman's voice was made more prominent than it was for "The Cage".

When originally written (and as heard in "The Cage"), Courage had Norman's vocalizations and the various instruments mixed equally to produce a unique sound. According to Courage, however, Gene Roddenberry had it re-recorded with Norman's accompaniment at a higher volume above the instruments, after which Courage felt the theme sounded like a soprano solo. Roddenberry's version can be heard during the opening credits of each episode in the second and third seasons; Courage's version is heard during the closing credits.

Further souring the relationship between Roddenberry and Courage, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme without Courage's knowledge – not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music's performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage commented that he believed Roddenberry's conduct was unethical, to which Roddenberry responded, " Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not going to get it out of the profits of Star Trek . " [2] Although the lyrics were never included on the series, they have been printed in several "TV Theme" songbooks over the years.

Later use [ ]

Portions of the Theme from Star Trek have been used in all 13 Star Trek feature films . Most of the Star Trek films' opening themes start by quoting the opening fanfare from Courage's theme, before seguéing into the film's own theme. However, there are multiple exceptions to this tradition. Star Trek: The Motion Picture did not use the fanfare at all in the opening or closing music, although a subdued version of the Theme from Star Trek was created by Courage at the request of the film's main composer, Jerry Goldsmith . [3] This arrangement of the theme was used for the " Captain's Log " cues. The theme was quoted again in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , most extensively in the final scenes.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , scored by Cliff Eidelman , broke with the tradition again. The Theme from Star Trek did not appear in the opening music, although it was used towards the end. Star Trek Generations , scored by Dennis McCarthy , on the other hand, did use the fanfare in the opening credits (and extensively throughout the score) but it did not appear until the end of the main title music.

The score for Star Trek , composed by Michael Giacchino , again did not use the fanfare in the opening title music: instead, Giacchino subtly quoted the opening notes and various other Star Trek themes from past films throughout his score. For the end credits, a re-arranged version of the Theme from Star Trek , fully orchestrated and with The Page La Studio Voices accompanying the melody line, was used. This version was also used for the end credits of Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond .

The theme's opening fanfare was adapted by Dennis McCarthy as the opening for the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme (the remainder of which was an adaptation of Goldsmith's theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture ). Courage's original theme can also be heard in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode " Trials and Tribble-ations ", the Star Trek: Voyager episode " Shattered ", and the Star Trek: Enterprise series finale, " These Are the Voyages... "

Courage's theme was re-recorded for the remastered Star Trek episodes , with Elin Carlson emulating Norman's wordless vocalization.

Star Trek: Discovery composer Jeff Russo included Courage's fanfare at the end of the Discovery main titles. The theme returned in full at the end of the Season 1 finale, " Will You Take My Hand? ", playing over the closing credits after the USS Discovery intercepts a distress call from the USS Enterprise .

In the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode " Spock Amok ", at least a portion of the theme became diegetic (heard in the fictional universe) when a few notes of the fanfare could be heard on the PADD used to keep track of tasks for " Enterprise bingo ".

Other recordings and uses [ ]

TOS star Nichelle Nichols recorded a disco version of the theme. However, Nichols used different lyrics than those written by Gene Roddenberry. The late jazz musician Maynard Ferguson and his band also recorded a rendition of the song, a fusion version that was released on his 1977 album Conquistador . Ferguson's version was used as the opening theme for The Larry King Show on the Mutual Radio Network. The satirical rock band Tenacious D and the lounge band Love Jones recorded versions of the theme, as well, using Gene Roddenberry's lyrics.

Roy Orbison was a Star Trek fan and often opened his concerts with his band jamming to theme. [4]

The 1992 Paramount Pictures comedy Wayne's World was the first non- Trek film to use Courage's theme. In the film, the character of Garth Algar (played by Dana Carvey ) whistles the theme while he and Wayne Campbell ( Mike Myers ) lie on the hood of Wayne's car, looking up at the stars. When Garth finishes the tune, he tells Wayne, " Sometimes I wish I could boldly go where no one's gone before. But I'll probably just stay in Aurora. " The theme can also be heard in the films Muppets from Space (1999, starring F. Murray Abraham ) and RV (2006, starring Robin Williams and featuring Brian Markinson ).

At the 2005 Primetime Emmy Awards, TOS star William Shatner and opera singer Frederica von Stade performed a live version of the theme, with Shatner reciting the opening monologue and von Stade singing the wordless melody line.

In 2009, the theme was used as the wake-up call for the crew of mission STS-125 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis .

For the 2021 inauguration of US President Joe Biden , acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma played the fanfare of the theme as a prelude to his performance of another song significant to Star Trek , " Amazing Grace ". [5]

Jelly Roll Adds New Dates + Opening Acts to His 2024 Tour

Jelly Roll ‘s 2024 tour hasn’t even kicked off yet, but it’s already getting even bigger. On Wednesday (June 26), he unfurled another round of dates for the Beautifully Broken Tour , already set to be the singer’s biggest headlining arena trek.

Ernest , Shaboozey and singer-songwriter Allie Colleen — who also just so happens to be Garth Brooks ‘ daughter — will all join the lineup for the recently announced back half of Jelly’s tour.

The “I Am Not Okay” star broke the news during an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! , where he also answered fan questions and delivered the live premiere of his new song, “Burning.”

Both songs come off Jelly’s as-yet-unannounced new album, which will serve as the follow-up project to his breakout major label debut, Whittsitt Chapel .

The 2024 Beautifully Broken Tour begins on Aug. 27 with a stop in Salt Lake City, Utah. Joining Jelly Roll for the first half of the shows will be Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.

Additionally, Jelly Roll is booked for his first two Canadian shows this July. Due to his past felony conviction, international touring has been complicated for the star — until recently, his criminal past prevented him from obtaining a passport. The singer has said that even after he was able to get the paperwork necessarily to leave the United States, he encountered more hurdles when it came to other countries being willing to let him enter.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - Everything We Know

Strange new worlds does 3 important things that bring back classic star trek, strange new worlds’ crossover started a great real life star trek friendship.

• Uhura on Strange New Worlds season 3 keeps evolving into the confident Lieutenant Uhura from Star Trek: The Original Series.
• Celia Rose Gooding, who plays Uhura, is excited for her character's journey in season 3 to mirror Nichelle Nichols' Uhura.
• Gooding discusses Uhura's growth from a Cadet to a confident officer on Strange New Worlds in an Awards Radar interview.

Celia Rose Gooding says Ensign Nyota Uhura in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is getting "closer and closer" to the Lieutenant Uhura played by Nichelle Nichols in Star Trek: The Original Series. Gooding is one of several Strange New Worlds characters rising to the challenge of playing a younger version of a Star Trek i con. Audiences get to witness the evolution Uhura undergoes on S trange New Worlds , with each step bringing her closer to the legendary Communications Officer in Star Trek: The Original Series .

Awards Radar interviewed Celia Rose Gooding about Star Trek: Strange New World s, where the Grammy Award-winning actor broke down how Uhura has grown from an uncertain Starfleet Cadet to a confident officer in Strange New Worlds ' first two seasons. Gooding then hinted at how Uhura continues on the path to becoming the Lieutenant Uhura portrayed by Nichelle Nichols in Strange New Worlds season 3. Read Celia's quote below and listen to her Awards Radar interview in the link above.

I think in season three, she’s just continuing to expand on taking space and really ownership over her responsibilities and her contributions to the Enterprise crew. And so we’re just continuing to see her expand and expand and expand, and I’m really excited about her journey in season three. That’s just been the word of the day... She’s just taking up space, really owning her title and her role, and her confidence is really blossoming and blooming. I think, as the seasons go on, I’m trying to get closer and closer to a recognizable version of Uhura, really trying to emulate Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura. And I think season three, we’re just getting closer and closer and closer, so it’s very exciting for me.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 has wrapped filming and is expected to premiere in 2025 on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 ended with an epic cliffhanger and here's everything known about when it will be resolved in season 3.

Uhura's Evolution Is One Of The Best Parts Of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Strange new worlds gives uhura the emphasis nichelle nichols never got in star trek: tos.

One of the pleasures of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is seeing Uhura's evolution. Strange New Worlds is providing Uhura with the emphasis, backstory, and character depth that Star Trek: The Original Series never afforded Nichelle Nichols' Lt. Uhura. Nichols had to be content with being a supporting player with minimal character development , but her presence in Star Trek nonetheless served as an inspiration for generations of African Americans, as Nichols herself was told by Dr. Martin Luther King .

Uhura's first name "Nyota" was made canon in J.J. Abrams ' Star Trek (2009), when Uhura was portrayed by Zoe Saldana.

Since Celia Rose Gooding is portraying the same character as Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is delivering Nyota Uhura's complete story as it progresses. Starting as a Cadet unsure if she wanted to remain in Starfleet, Uhura gained a mentor in the late Lt. Hemmer (Bruce Horak), who helped Nyota grow beyond her confidence issues. Strange New Worlds ' season 2 saw Ensign Uhura accept her crucial role on the Starship Enterprise, even giving her a whole song about it in Star Trek' s first-ever musical episode . Where Uhura goes next will surely be one of the most fascinating aspects of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3.

Major record labels sue AI companies for allegedly stealing copyrighted music

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Major record labels have sued two artificial intelligence companies for allegedly stealing copyrighted sound recordings to generate music.

Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and other music giants have filed copyright infringement lawsuits against Suno and Udio, the Recording Industry Assn. of America announced Monday.

The complaints against the two tech companies allege that they lifted material from copyrighted songs spanning various artists, genres and time periods to train their generative AI models.

“The music community has embraced AI and we are already partnering and collaborating with responsible developers to build sustainable AI tools centered on human creativity that put artists and songwriters in charge,” Mitch Glazier, chief executive of the RIAA, said in a statement.

“But we can only succeed if developers are willing to work together with us. Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all.”

Suno Chief Executive Mikey Shulman, in a statement provided to The Times, said the company’s mission “is to make it possible for everyone to make music.”

“Our technology is transformative; it is designed to generate completely new outputs, not to memorize and regurgitate pre-existing content,” he said.

“That is why we don’t allow user prompts that reference specific artists. We would have been happy to explain this to the corporate record labels that filed this lawsuit (and in fact, we tried to do so), but instead of entertaining a good faith discussion, they’ve reverted to their old lawyer-led playbook.”

In a lengthy statement posted on its website, Udio said it stands by its technology and believes that “generative AI will become a mainstay of modern society.”

“Generative AI models, including our music model, learn from examples. Just as students listen to music and study scores, our model has ‘listened’ to and learned from a large collection of recorded music,” Udio said.

“The goal of model training is to develop an understanding of musical ideas — the basic building blocks of musical expression that are owned by no one,” the statement continued. “We are completely uninterested in reproducing content in our training set.”

The RIAA replied that Suno has “literally been caught on tape ... memorizing and regurgitating” artists’ recordings. As for Udio, the RIAA has interpreted the company’s statement as a “startling admission of illegal and unethical conduct.”

Sony Music warns tech companies: Don’t use our music to train your AI

Sony Music Group is sending more than 700 letters to tech companies and music streaming services, calling on them to not use its music to train AI without authorization from the label.

May 16, 2024

The lawsuit against Suno was filed in Massachusetts, while the complaint against Udio was filed in New York.

Among the copyrighted tracks allegedly mined by the AI programs were Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire,” the Beach Boys’ “I Get Around,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good),” Michael Bublé’s “Sway,” Green Day’s “American Idiot,” the Temptations’ “My Girl” and Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.”

The record labels are demanding that Suno and Udio admit to mining their music libraries without permission and asking that the courts prohibit the AI companies from poaching their copyrighted material in the future. The plaintiffs also are seeking damages for copyright infringement.

Washed Out’s new music video was created with AI. Is it a watershed moment for Sora?

Washed Out is the first major music artist to commission a music video using OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video technology.

May 2, 2024

The lawsuits landed about a month after Sony Music delivered letters to 700 artificial intelligence developers warning them not to use its artists’ music to train their models. The New York-based music company said in a statement that it approves of “artists and songwriters taking the lead in embracing new technologies in support of their art” while vowing to protect their work from AI thieves.

Some musicians have begun to embrace AI as a tool. In May, indie pop artist Washed Out released an AI-generated music video for his song “The Hardest Part.” The Georgia-based singer-songwriter, whose real name is Ernest Greene, used OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video technology to make the video.

Times staff writer Wendy Lee contributed to this report.

NEW ON PARAMOUNT PLUS IN JULY 2024: TOP PICKS

‘drag me to hell’.

"Drag Me to Hell" has to be one of the best horror movies ever made just based on its ending. The plot centers on Christine Brown (Alison Lohman), a loan officer at a bank in Los Angeles. In an attempt to impress her boss and secure a promotion, Christine denies an elderly woman named Sylvia Ganush (Lorna Raver) an extension on her mortgage. In retaliation, Ganush places a curse on Christine that will lead to her being dragged to hell in three days (yes, pretty savage).

As the curse begins to take effect, Christine experiences a series of terrifying supernatural events. Desperate to save herself, she seeks help from a psychic named Rham Jas (Dileep Rao). Together, they try various methods to break the curse, but as time runs out, Christine faces increasingly horrific challenges.

Premiers July 1 on Paramount Plus

‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’

"Martha Marcy May Marlene" has to be one of the best movies about cults . It follows a young woman named Martha (Elizabeth Olsen), who escapes from an abusive cult. Upon fleeing the cult, Martha contacts her estranged sister, Lucy (Sarah Paulson), who takes her to the lakeside home she shares with her husband, Ted (Hugh Dancy). Despite the seemingly safe environment, Martha's sense of reality becomes increasingly distorted. She experiences paranoia, flashbacks, and difficulty distinguishing between her past experiences in the cult and her current life.

‘Memory’

"Memory" is a psychological drama that revolves around a woman named Sylvia (Jessica Chastain), who leads a solitary and seemingly stable life, but her past traumas come flooding back when she encounters a man named Saul (Peter Sarsgaard) at a high school reunion. Saul, who suffers from dementia, brings up disturbing memories from Sylvia's past, triggering a deep psychological journey for her. Chastain actually won the Independent Spirit award as best lead performance in “Memory," which first premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in 2023. 

Premiers July 7 on Paramount Plus

‘Melissa Etheridge: I'm Not Broken’

"Melissa Etheridge: I'm Not Broken" is a documentary series that follows rock musician Melissa Etheridge as she connects with five female inmates at the Topeka Correctional Facility in Kansas. The series is inspired by letters sent to Etheridge by these women, detailing their personal struggles and experiences. Etheridge uses these letters as inspiration to write and perform an original song for them. 

The documentary highlights the significant rise in female incarceration rates and the often-overlooked challenges faced by incarcerated women. Etheridge, who has personally faced the loss of her son to opioid addiction, brings a profound sense of empathy and understanding to the project.

Premiers July 9 on Paramount Plus

‘Mafia Spies’

A six-part docuseries called “Mafia Spies” is another one to add to your list. It delves into the covert collaboration between the CIA and the Chicago mob during the Cold War. The series, based on Thomas Maier's book "Mafia Spies: The Inside Story of the CIA, Gangsters, JFK, and Castro," explores the plot to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. This partnership between government agents and mobsters was fueled by the tensions of the era, particularly after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and highlights the lengths to which the U.S. government was willing to go to eliminate perceived threats. The series features interviews with historians, journalists, and people directly connected to the events, including the daughter of mob boss Sam Giancana and actor Robert Davi.
