Tell us, what were the lyrics to the original Star Trek theme?

King of Queens had one of the most obnoxious intros as well. Couldn’t mute that shit faster when a sibling was watching.
-
Here's a sort of decent attempt, no one ever actually sung it officially. The lyrics are in the comments.
-
It annoys me to be reminded about the lyrics to the TOS theme because they only exist to screw people out of royalty checks.
-
Conversely, the only thing that got me through all of Enterprise was the invention of the Skip Intro button

What's bad is that the song is so terrible and yet once they mix it up for season 2, you wish they'd bring the original back.
-
Probably because they made it even worse for the following seasons which made the original "not so bad." Kind of like how people view George W Bush in a more positive light now post-Trump.

Waltzes are the worst.

So, there actually weren't any in the show's theme.
-
Playing semantics. If you want your head canon to be there never were lyrics at all, that's perfectly justifiable, as they were created for money and never aired. They still exist though.

I take offense to that, the uniforms are also bad.

it goes hard right out of the gate and is trying too hard to be a game of thrones/Westworld knock off.
it really does suck.

This is a 3am-sort-of-pain one must endure in order to see another episode.

LOL back in the 90s I thought up a prequel series like Enterprise, complete with opening music, which has never been played or recorded except in my own head. It's based on the intro to the TOS theme, played over a historical sequence very similar to what they cane up with. My version of the intro ends with a closeup of a bootprint on mars, zooming out to show that it's at the original Apollo 11 landing site, which is enclosed in a clear dome, with visitors on a catwalk gawking at it. As we pull back we see a long covered causeway connecting the dome with a much larger lunar base, with small craft coming and going, then the camera aims toward the stars and goes into warp. One of by bucket list projects is to create this opening sequence in a computer.
In my version the ship's doctor is an older Vulcan woman, who attended medical school on Earth to study human medicine and also human behavior. She is fascinated by how illogical human behavior can produce anything but chaos. She becomes a friend and sort of wise elder counsel to the captain. Their conversations give us insights into Vulcan history and culture. I forget how they handled the Vulcan mind-meld in Enterprise, but I would have had her it be mysterious or even unknown until the doctor reluctantly uses it to solve a crisis situation. The incident creates extreme mistrust among the human crew - can she read our minds, or even controll us? Are we her puppets? Earning back their confidence takes multiple episodes. I think this would have made a much more interesting character than T'Pol, and I was disappointed when they Seven-of-Nined her, but that's Hollywood.
