This novelty record that's essentially a parody of the beloved Star Trek characters surprisingly went to #1 in the UK for two weeks in 1987. That's an awesome achievement, particularly when no recording label was willing to release it, so The Firm recorded it at an independent label, Bark Studios. I actually thought Star Trekkin ' was hilarious, and I'm a big fan of the Star Trek franchise.
Star Trekkin' wasn't only a hit in the UK; it managed to cross over into other countries' pop charts as well, including Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as becoming a big hit on the other side of the world, where it reached #3 in Australia and #2 in New Zealand.
