For many years now I’ve had in my memory this scene from star trek tng where, for whatever reason, a group of British officers and Irish officers led by O’Brien start getting nationalistic and sing their respective national songs at each other. I remember the British were singing “Rule Britannia” but I don’t recall the Irish song.

Writing this out it sounds bizarre and I’d almost think I dreamt it up but I couldn’t come up with these details. I might have seen it somewhere else but i distinctly recall O’Brien. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? If indeed this is real, what episode?

    Not that I recall.

    The one where Picard is replaced with an alien he starts singing Heart of Oak “Come cheer up, my lads! 'tis to glory we steer…”

    The one with the Renegade captain has O’Brien singing The Minstrel-Boy “The Minstrel-boy to the war is gone, In the ranks of death you will find him…”
