Star Trek The Original Series

No Disney music today, not even a cartoon*. we’re listening to Star Trek covers to celebrate it’s 60th anniversary!

Originally aired in September of 1966, let’s listen to some covers of the theme from Star Trek, a wonderful sci-fi series that Disney doesn’t own (yet). Written by Alexander Courage, the theme has been used in several of the shows spin-offs. If we’re talking ’60s scince fictions, we better start with an instrument from the ’20s.

then let’s listen to an a cappella cover by Triforcefilms

and let’s end with Van McCoy’s version, from the album The Hustle and the Best of Van McCoy
