Star Trek has had enormous impact on popular culture. It is one of the most influential and documented science fiction series in history, but its influence reaches far beyond the sci-fi genre.

The show's theme tune, immediately recognizable by many, was written by Alexander Courage, and has been featured in a number of Star Trek spin-off episodes and motion pictures. The lyrics for the introduction were written by Gene Roddenberry without Courage's knowledge and without intending for them ever to be sung.[17] Roddenberry would ... get a 50% share of the music's performance royalties which was the motivation for Courage leaving the series. Later episodes would use stock recordings from his earlier work. Jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson recorded a fusion version of the tune with his big band during the late 1970s and Nichelle Nichols would perform the song live complete with lyrics.
