A Star Trek-themed video is going viral today featuring a Trek fan who decided to add lyrics to the theme for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Check out the TNG song below.
TNG Theme song
This opus comes from Professor Q (aka Qcotms on YouTube), and it is actually one of many songs he has created. Check out his songs for: Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek Deep Space Nine plus his songs for Syfy shows: Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Eureka.
TNG episodes song
The TNG theme song is fun, but the TNG episodes song by ‘metnalist’ is still the reigning king of TNG sons.

Painful.
I love star trek, and i love the fans but seriously i hope this guy chokes. No wonder star trek fans are ridiculed.
I want to hurt him
ow… the shame!!! FACEPALM
I couldn’t agee more with Calb. What an embarassment, not just to Star Trek fans, but to the whole human race. That TNG Episodes video though is pure genius!!
No love (or is it hate) for Riker?
- Harry
I could only watch about 10 seconds.
Deary me. Deary deary me.
Really scraping the barrel with this one aren’t we?
Just awful.
Lighten up, was kind of entertaining, especially the NCC-1701 D, D, D , D at the end.
Couldn’t get past his first few bars of singing. Sorry.
Who ever taught him how to sing needs to be Shot. Or put in the Agoniser booth. Good Try but bad Delievery.
There is a fifth level of fandom beyond that which is known to man. It is the fan who would never wear a costume, who rarely goes to a convention, watches Star Trek critically along with countless other shows, yet still understands even the most minute detail of the fictional universe when presented with it. This is probably as good an opportunity as any to say that I’ve been fortunate enough to interact with many such fans over the last fifteen years, thanks in no small part to the internet.
Take that times 100 and you have a badly run Trek con.
thats 2 mins i’ll never get back.
You gotta admit…..He’s got balls !
the 2nd one is actually entertaining.
Was it Nigel Tufnel or David St. Hubbins who once suggested there is a very fine line between clever and stupid …?
Oh god….that was just terrible, absolutely terrible. It would have been funny if he had been drunk, but since he wasn’t, it was pathetic. He forgot about Riker for the first part of his “song”, then realized it near the end and tried to cram the commander’s name in. It was poorly thought out, and poorly executed.
Instead of the Playmates Enterprise D, he should have went with the AA/DS version. Yeah, I’m nitpicking, but since I just endured almost two minutes of auditory torture, I think I’m entitled!
I just read a tweet where the guy killed himself after reading all your posts. You should all be ashamed!
Well, not really, but he probably feels like it now. Aren’t you all ashamed of yourselves?
(However, Roddenberry’s effort at adding lyrics to the original series theme music was much better.)
Don’t do it, man! Life is more than this!
Hate to say this, but he looks and acts like a typical Star Trek fan (at least how the general public would describe a Star Trek Fan)
That was painful to listen to.
“Well, not really, but he probably feels like it now. Aren’t you all ashamed of yourselves?”
Why? He freely uploaded that video of himself to the internet. If I uploaded that video I would’ve expected a lot of negative comments…
19 – Isn’t he ashamed of furthering the stereotype that Star Trek fans must be costumed?
One should learn and be able to sing before he tried too. Well that’s all I can say. As Mike says …the Agony booth
Is this his audition for American Idol? Oh yeah, I agree with all of you. After listening to the Star Wars Celebration on Sirius all weekend, I must admit, Star Wars fans seem to have more fun. I think their the BLONDES (Blondes have more fun) of the SY FY Universe. It should be against the law for this guy to ever upload anything on YouTube again.
he has balls, you to admit (have YOU tried that?)
ok, that was stupid…
This guy needs a Darwin Award!
I had to hit stop when he started singing, I tried but I just couldn’t take it. :(
Awful, just awful. Had to listen to MentalistX’s awesome song just to wipe it from my memory.
On the plus side, since he is wearing a red shirt, there’s a good chance that he won’t be around to post another video. :-)
Set phasers to kill, quick please!
this guy needs a life

I prefer this one to his any day.

This rendtitionwas done by Doug Walker, aka The Nostalgia Critic, a few years back as part of his Theme Lyrics series. He also has done one for Voyager as well.

oh….my….god…i couldn’t finish, i just feel so bad for this person…
(shaking my head) and some people slam Shatner for his “Get a life” saturday night live gag.
This drivel is just fodder for it.
I don’t know if I would have posted it here Anthony.
that was brutal.
But the second one by Mentalist: brilliant. Always love listening to that one. Makes me want to re-watch the whole series again.
I had to gouge my eyes out with a spoon!
Guys like this bring down the fan curve the rest of the world grades us on!
Ok. I seen it again. Now i am going to havt to put my self in the Agoniser Booth. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Project: Pimento shows us how it’s done…

Oh Christ. That kinda stuff went out when I was a little kid. Although my dad and I did come up with lyrics to Voyager.
We’re in space, and we’re having space adven-tures
and now we’re lost,
we’re really lost
for sure.
Backwards and forwards and back-wards and forth
Forwards and backwards and forwards and backwards!
We’re in space, and I lost my favorite sweat-er
now I guess, I’ll get one that’s bet-ter
We’re in space and we’re lost…
lol
I bet the guy knows he’s not the 2nd coming of Pavarotti. Or even Russell Watson for that matter. Just having a little fun. The charm is in the cheeze!
roflmfao the toy enterprise-d going by!!!
hahahaha.
This guy’s more of a charismatic goofball rather then a TOTAL looser, and probably manages to make hot chicks laugh… (but still not get anywhere near their pants though!)
I prefer the Adam & Joe Show take on things:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3HL8XVMih8
They’re genuine Star Trek fans that liked to take pot-shots at genuine Star Trek fans… they also came up with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-1OPCIwyWg (there’s some unsavoury language in this one).
I can’t believe this guy. Why do you guys post Lame mess like this. Trek fans are ridiculed because of no life never kissed a girl in my life can tell the parsecs between home and the comic shop morons like this dude. He had nothing else better to do. He got tired of feeling up his Uhura doll. He is still waiting for Orion Slave Girl to give him Some. Nuts. Its as painful as watching middle aged people playing Klingon war games. Pathetic. Tell him to call James Cawley for a job in one of his lame trek productions.
Do I see Tellarite Man boobs in his uniform. Tell him to hit the gym. Lame.
Anyone besides me getting tired of lame Trek Youtube videos?
That’s sad. It’s also me as a kid even though I grew up on TOS and not Next Gen. I laugh at the guy while having a communicator and phaser replica within arms reach of my keyboard.
Basically, I’m the same guy without guts and a webcam.
Rock on brother!
#45..
Give the guy a break. He’s just goofing around and keeping the spirit alive.
#45, I know that you’re joking but I have to defend this guy. You reference Orion slave girls AND James Cawley and you’re busting on him? Please. You’re a geek just like us. Accept it. It’s okay. Have fun. Geeez!
Since this guy added lyrics, does Jerry Goldsmith’s estate have to split the music royalties with him?
50. Something tells me this guy isn’t going to make so much money…
…unless he appears on the Tonight Show.
He’s just negated every good act from “America’s Got Talent”.
For the past five seasons.
This is precisely why Trekkers get a bad rap.
Why all the negativity?!?
I thought Star Trek fans were good natured people, not people who like to make fun of others.
This guy rules. (And his Deep Space Nine one is the best.)
A slow news day in Trekdom I see.
20.
Darn straight. Sad but very true.
.
54: I guess good nature only goes so far. Unfortunately, the people who bash on Star Trek fans as spotty nerds who live in their mothers’ basements (or attic, in my case) are going to see this and have their stereotypes somewhat confirmed. All the work that Abrams did to bring ‘Trek back to the masses (I even saw a colleague of my friend on a seriously manly website, the address for which I wouldn’t even give out here for fear it’ll get me blocked, name Abrams’ movie as one of the “5 all-time greatest sci-fi movies”, from a self-confessed non-fan) is being undone when footage like this gets out on YouTube.
Painful, but I do appreciate the guy’s moxie….
What a wanker!
why oh why must the Motion Picture theme be so terribly maligned..
I don’t know if it’s so much that he has guts, as much as he just lacks shame.
Guys like him are the reason I am sometimes embarrassed to be a Star Trek fan – because the minute you let on to people that you are a fan an image of that pops into their head.
ughhh.
We should pray for this man and for ourselves, that we put away childish things.
Sincerely,
C.S. Lewis
LOSER LOSER LOSER
I didn’t know Glenn Beck was a Trekkie.
Through the hords of posts hear THis has probably already been said, and won’t probably get read but….
Star Trek Fans come in all stripes, all colors, etc. That is what makes Star Trek great. Think of it like America. If the the Black guy isn’t allowed to be part of America, then America is no longer America. the same with “Trekdom”. IF this guy isn’t allowed to be a part of the Star Trek Fandom, then Star Trek is no longer Star Trek. His song may make one want to go boil their head, and run their hands through lava, but….that’s what’s great about Star Trek.
You say “Boiling heads….that’s what makes Star Trek great?” no, but the fact that this guy can have a vehicle for this….uh….unique form of expression is awesome. Don’t crusify him as if there is some Star Trek idealism that fans should live up to. I guess that’s my point. If fans were expected to live up to some ideal, or conform to it, or whatever then Star Trek’s power would cease to exist (and we all know that Star Trek’s Mystery is only exceded by it’s power). And I, like, making any sense dudes.
Alright, I think I’ve toppled off my soap box and I’m waiting to see who is going to throw the first stone (just kidding).
oh and as to posting stuff like this, I think that while the song itself is kinda lame, but the post is great. This is a fan made site about fans revealing in the show with others. This guy is gloriously enjoying the show, no holds bard, who cares what people think. If to you that isn’t/shouldn’t be the point of this site, then you really do need to go boil your head, then come back…..
OHHHH!!!! I get it now. This is Lt. Barclay’s kid!
The Mentalist (or Menty to his friends) rocks. But not so sure about that TNG theme song, I’m afraid… :D
So, Was he born this way, or is this a lifestyle choice………????
Yeah…this in NO WAY rivals the overly-sexual yet detailed and clever “Star Trek” rap on http://www.thosearentmuskets.com. It’s dirty…but clever and they throw in a bunch of fan-only references. Not to be watched by kids or at work but kinda funny.
Just when I was begining to feel comfortable admitting that I’m a fan of Star Trek, along comes this guy…
So much for Star Trek bein cool again…. Fecking egyt!
Oh look, comments disabled.
#35.
Odd,it was never Shatner’s “gag”. It was conceived and written by Robert Smigel. Shatner, an actor by profession, merely agreed good-naturedly to perform the fictional Shatner caricature that Smigel had created. People on both sides of the issue praising and/or slamming Shatner for it are demonstrating the same classic disconnect of not being able to distinguish fiction from reality that Smigel’s skit satirizes.
Just what we need, some guy like this making real Trekkies and Trekkers look like total losers…
What’s the matter, webmaster? Slow news day?
Sweet Jesus! Can’t make it past flying the Enterprise by. I did something similar to this.
When I was 14!
Ya, the first one was a little……….Goofy! But, if you haven’t watched the second video, please do it! That one is really pretty good! Watch and listen to the end!
.
Absolutely terrible. This guy just ruined Star Trek for me forever.
My comment is directed to the individual in the video, just so there’s no misunderstanding lol…
Sir, was that really necessary?
Star Trek was just becoming cool again, and you may damn well have ruined it for us. Thanks to you, anyone who talks to a Star Trek fan will now think of this video.
Stop. Just stop. You’re embarrassing us and yourself.
63.: I am frankly disgusted in your subversion of C.S. Lewis’ original intentions. The “childish things” Lewis spoke of was the desperate need to feel “mature” – which is itself a sign of immaturity. He was attacking people who criticized adults reading fairy-tales, and said that as adults, we should put away such “childish things” as the desire to appear so very grown up.
I’m really, really depressed reading the comments here. Star Trek has survived years of ridicule and marginalization by the general public. I don’t think *one* video is going to change its new popularity. Being embarassed for him and for Trek fandom in general? Fine. Finding the video painful to watch? Sure. But wishing death, humiliation or other cruel things on the guy, even in jest? Come now.
This isn’t what gives Star Trek fandom a bad name, it’s the petty, catty sniping that does.
83. Taranaich
Nope! Sniping’s what fans do to each other, distasteful as it is! Toss-pots like the idiot on the video put themselves on Youtube and tar everyone with his rancid brush!
Y’know, people can be all politically correct and say ‘Ooh, but there are all types of Star Trek fans, Dom, and you should be tolerant of them!’
Well tough! I like Star Trek (the original) because it’s smart, sexy, well-written by people who had lives before they were screenwriters and it asked a few pertinent questions amidst the humour, sexy women and fist fights.
It was great, frequently thought-provoking, entertainment. Try to explain that to casual viewers when that ****head is vomiting his trash where anyone on the planet, except possibly in China and North Korea, can see it.
Then again, if Kim Jong-il allowed the North Koreans to watch that Youtube video, they’d probably advocate exterminating all Americans on the spot!! ;)
