The song "A British Tar" was a song in the operetta HMS Pinafore, written by the composers Gilbert and Sullivan. Commander Data had been studying the various plays and songs of the famous composers shortly before participating in a mission in the Briar Patch. Captain Picard and Commander Worf used this to their advantage when attempting to capture him and sang the first verses of it before Data realised what they were attempting to do. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
