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.
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.
I caught this video in the middle of the night on MTV and was sad because I could not remeber who sang it. I tried repeatedly and finally caught it again and bought the CD.
Joe Satriani's Crowd Chant was originally going to be called Party on the Enterprise and would have included Trek sound effect samples, but he couldn't get the licensing to work.

Star Trekkin' - The Firm
At what timestamp does the reference show up?
Yes.
Gonna show my age here but Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys ends talking about the Vulcan nerve pinch.
Not as old as Star Trekkin'.
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.

We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.
I love that B52s song! Love that you mentioned it.
T'Pau is literally named after the trek character.
Beastie Boys "Intergalactic".
I love that the Beastie Boys are canon because of "Sabotage" in Beyond and that the line you mentioned exists.
In 1998, Rod Stewart recorded a cover of the Star Trek: Enterprise theme three years before the series premiere.
You had to mention that song didn't you?
I think we're supposed to come up with the songs. I'll start.

Oh man I forgot all about this dude. I saw him at so many cons over the years.
Will always upvote a Voltaire ref. Love this song.
Mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like OP did make a list and it got lost in some federation weirdness.
Up next
Big Ben Klingon
After him
There's no one else
They could afford
To bring on

Great song (Banditos) by a great band (The Refreshments).
I was going to say this one.
I caught this video in the middle of the night on MTV and was sad because I could not remeber who sang it. I tried repeatedly and finally caught it again and bought the CD.
Jacuzzi by Radio Radio, an Acadian rap group bragging about the size of their massage pool
My wife (and probably many others) disagrees, but I'm firmly of the opinion that Starships by Nicki Minaj is an uncertified trek banger 🙌
Nerf Herder - "Mr. Spock"
99 Luft Balloons
Something may have failed to federate properly, but OP did make a list.
I thought it was a weird subject line but I love that everyone ran with it anyway

S. P. O. C. K - Never trust a Klingon
The Mighty Underdogs - Science Fiction
Has almost an entire paragraph about Star Trek.
I made one!

Yeah, I had a lot of free time a while back and I made a ska punk album in my living room!
Heck yeah brother🤘🖖
