I respectfully have to abstain from this poll as my choice for captain, Christopher Pike, was not listed, and the poll wouldn't allow me to submit my other eight votes.

I actually thought about having a redshirt member of the crew to vote on. But... but... but... they were all dead in like 3 minutes! None of them were any good!
I guess a better mane for "Civilian crewmwmber" would be "Non-Starfleet character." The person (usually an alien) who hangs out with the crew but is not really Starfleet.

Technically, that's not true. They used several of the same extras as redshirts over the show's three years.
Two of them were even killed off in episodes but came back. There's continuity for you!

Sounds like my kind of parody! I can't stand Howard Stern, so I'll probably never hear it.
One of the funniest Star Trek-related songs I have head was by a group called The Firm (NOT the Paul Rodgers/Jimmy Page group). It was called "Star Trekkin'" and aired on Dr. Demento in the mid 80s:
Star Trekkin' across the universe On the Starship Enterprise Under Captain Kirk
Star Trekkin' across the universe Only going forward 'Cause we can't find reverse
The verses consisted of actors mimicking ST characters, reciting their catch phrases out of context (Kirk: "We come in peace! Shoot to kill! Shoot to kill!" McCoy: "It's worse than that! He's dead, Jim, dead, Jim, dead."). The verses were added on as the song continued, a la "Partridge In a Pear Tree." Hilarious!
