As I said on another thread (possibly on ILE) this was one of the songs we had to sing in music class at middle school.

The first album I ever bought! This set the tone for all the music purchases I have made in the last 10-15 years!

At the pantomime at the Reading Hexagon that year (at least, I hope it was that year, but it may have been a year or two later), Mr. Sulu joined Keith Chegwin on stage. Part of the interactive fun was having everyone in the theatre sing Star Trekkin', including my great aunt, who understood it even less than I did (never seen the show). I wonder if The Firm got royalties?

First single I can remember liking. Also wept buckets when Lisa Stansfield replaced it at #1. Thus, big fat hairy C.
