− | '''"A British Tar"''' was a song in the operetta [[HMS Pinafore|HMS ''Pinafore'']], written by the [[human]] lyricist-composer duo [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]. In [[2375]], [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] and [[Commander]] [[Worf]] used the song to distract the malfunctioning [[android]] [[Data]] whilst engaged with him in the [[atmosphere]] of the [[Ba'ku (planet)|Ba'ku homeworld]]. The tactic proved partly successful, and Data was ultimately captured. (''[[Star Trek: Insurrection]]'') |
