Bones Slammed down the Skip button on the captains chair, with such force that it made Jim jump.
"What's wrong Bones?
Bones just glared at him, the sort of glare that says 'Drop it Jim or so help me I will kill you and make it look like natural causes'
Jim was silent and never brought it up again.
Song: Can't Keep it In, Cat Stevens
Characters: Bones/Pike
It was one of those rare shoreleaves that they were actually on earth. Bones was spending some, long awaited time with Pike, they were rather fond of playing music together, this particular time they were playing a twentieth century classic by an artist by the name of Cat Stevens, called Can't Keep It In. bones on the piano and Pike on guitar, their voices complemented each other perfectly.
Song: Up on the Mountain, Dr Hook
*Characters: Ensemble, Bones/Pike
"Up on the Mountain, up where the light breaks, that's where you'll find me…"
Bones was singing he had a lovely voice; it fitted the song almost perfectly. Jim sneakily recorded it and sent it to Pike, who appreciated seeing his lover loosen up for once; he smiled and put in his saved folder.
Song: Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton
Characters: Ensemble
The Song that had come on was Tears in Heaven, it was a song that the enterprise crew had performed at the memorial for the rest of their graduating class, it had helped them grieve, they had each had a verse to sing. Scotty took the first, Bones the second, Uhura took the third, Chekhov and Sulu took the forth as a duet, Pike took the fifth and Jim and Spock had lead the Chorus. And the final verse was shared.
They had felt the need to reprise this now, on the bridge. At the completion of the song, as if by divine intervention, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins played and there was a collective smile as they remembered Spock Prime's rendition of that particular song at the memorial.
Song: Karma Chameleon, Culture Club

"Pavel, it's our song!"
With this Sulu Pulled the young Russian up and they began to sing.
Song: 5, 6, 7, 8, Steps
*Characters: Ensemble, Cupcake
The crew of the enterprise were not line dancing on the bridge, they were also not singing to the music that was not playing and they most certainly were not enjoing themselves whilst not doing these things. However to the security officer affectionately known as Cupcake, they appeared to be doing exactly that when he stepped onto the bridge only to turn around and leave again. He thought he heard music.
Song: Man I Feel Like a Woman, Shania Twain
*Characters: Uhura, Ensemble
Uhura was singing this one, Jim had never seen her so happy the Bridge just wached.
"…I feel like a woman."
The Crew applauded as the music faded into the next song
Song: My Country, Australian Army Band Sydney
Characters: None
Vulcan's loved (found it agreeable) to holiday in Australia, because of its vast deserts making it comparable to Vulcan, it was for this reason that There was a small colony of Vulcan's living in the Gibson Desert. After the destruction of Vulcan, The Australians had offered their land to provide a temporary or permanent home. The Vulcan's were grateful for this, although they did not voice this, the Australians knew, of their gratitude. They were among the most accepting of their cultural differences and as such they were respected. Many Australians even learned to speak Vulcan, a curtsy that was rarely extended them on earth. Some Vulcan's even farmed, raising horses and various grains as well as Merinos.
Song: Scar, Missy Higgins
Characters: Ensemble
None of the crew apart from Spock thought that Jim would have been able to talk Doctor McCoy into giving them all a piano concert, every one of them had been wrong. At this point the entire crew were in one of the recreation rooms where there was a grand piano awaiting the Doctors entrance. Jim was grinning as he had got a fair sum in a betting pool that he had going with the rest of the ship, he and Spock had both won a fair amount. A fact that bones was never to know about
Song: Blackbird, Chris Colfer(Glee version)
*Characters: Ensemble, Sulu/Chekov
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night…"
Sulu had shocked them all, they had no idea that his voice could make that kind of sound, everyone could sing to a certain degree, but this was different, he gave such melody to the tune. Pavel joined in with the melody line. They remember the Nerada memorial, Chris had done this same song accompanying himself on the guitar, his rendition had been entirely different somehow.
