The Firm - Star Trekkin'

Never heard it, though.

And for the record, I loathe Star Trek and all its spawn. Which is a bit ironic really, since this was at #1 when I was born.

Star Trekkin was a novelty song. It grated on one's nerves after a while; but nothing like as bad as crazy frog.

For those of you who haven't heard your birth song, you should really track them down on the net.

You'll end up with the same music collection I had in the 80's!

Which by coincidence is my music collection now!

Star Trekkin' was when they bothered putting effort into music!

One of the earliest memories of pop songs is this particular track and the Chicken Song by Spitting Image.

A nice tribute to Star Trekkin can be found below.The video was spot on too.

Can't work out what, but it appears to have been something by Dame Clara Butt.

Paul Anka - Diana
Only No 1 Canadian who wrote the song himself about his kid brother's baby-sitter. His success continued into the 70s.
