Shout out to Patrick Stewart being stubborn and saying 'zed' instead of 'zee' even though the final rhyme of the song is 'zee' and 'me'. He fixes that by just dropping the last word.

This would be the sort of thing that would just show up out of nowhere in between other skits and cartoons meant to teach kids about numbers and letters. Granted, when I was a child, it might have been William Shatner doing the gag instead of Patrick Stewart. Or even better! Leonard Nimoy! He could actually sing! He had an album back in the 1970s.

(Looking at his flummoxed Bridge Crew) Picard: What do you think we did after my crew and I abandoned the Stargazer and had to fly through space for a long period of time in cramped shuttles? A visiting Spock: I do recall doing the same on in the shuttles as well. Far more relaxing and enjoyable than merely sitting and running data algorims for a millionth time. Plus, the blood in your body would circulate, keeping yourself from either cramping or suffering undo fatigue. Riker: What did number did you do, Ambassador Spock?
