    Beastie Boys “Intergalactic”.

      I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of “Sabotage” in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.

    • 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.

      We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.

    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.

      It had to be done. I apologize for nothing.

    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.
