can't decide where this goes so i put it in both.

Artist: The Firm (no, not that one)
Album: Serious Fun
Song: "Star Trekkin"
June 1, 1987 Bark Records

Note the Captain's 'log' in Kirk's lap in the video!

Star Trekkin' is a cumulative song. Each time the refrain is sung, one more character's tag line is added:

Uhura: "There's Klingons on the starboard bow."
Spock: "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it." This was not actually said in the original Star Trek series but the song has so populariZed the phrase that it is now commonly mis-attributed to the original. The closest equivalent in the original is "No life as we know it" in "The Devil in the Dark". It might be that the writers took this phrase from an essay written by the famous science fiction author Isaac Asimov, written in 1981, called "Not As We Know It. The Chemistry of Life".
McCoy: "It's worse than that — he's dead, Jim!"
Kirk: "We come in peace; shoot to kill."
Scotty: "Ye cannae change the laws of physics!"
