Star Trek: 10 Times Music Saved The Day

4. Allamaraine! - Move Along Home

Move Along Home is infamous among audiences for some of the wrong reasons, and conversely some of the right ones. As an early episode in Deep Space Nine's run, it delved into the silly side of things a little too early - although it did give us this banger.

Allamaraine is possibly one of the greatest songs ever written. It has the pathos of Cohen, the energy of Mercury, and indeed the staying power of Joel. It is pure and utter gold and honestly, if you're still with us at this point, you're our kind of silly.

The song is about as exciting as melting ice-cream, but it's no more offensive than that. The cast commit, with Avery Brooks deciding to treat it as grand opera. Without singing and dancing, they might never have moved on to the next shap, and after all, isn't that what it was all about?
