Track listing
- "Worf's Revenge (Klingon Rap)":A gangsta rap-esque song celebrating the character Worf, a Klingon who first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation, extolling his physical strength and [...] prowess, referencing his on-screen romances with Deanna Troi and Jadzia Dax.
"The U.S.S. Make [...] Up":A song AbOUT treknobabble, Star Trek's tendency to use borderline nonsense to explain away technical details. It describes every series from The Original Series to Voyager. A live version of this song also appears on Voltaire's live album, Live!.
"The Sexy Data Tango":Using numerous double entendres and similar [...] innuendo (such as "WarP core manifolds" and "Jefferies tube"), "The Sexy Data Tango" is a tango that describes Data's [...] encounters with Tasha Yar, and describing him as "fully functional and anatomically correct". A live version of this song also appears on Voltaire's live album, Live!.
"Screw the Okampa! (I Wanna Go Home)":"Screw the Okampa! (I Wanna Go Home)" is a humorous lament from the Delta Quadrant, where the crew of the USS Voyager were stranded for seven years, as shown during the events of Star Trek: Voyager. The song is sung to the tune of the folk standard "Sloop John B".
