Did the Great Bird of the Galaxy want a Star Trek musical like Strange New Worlds' "Subspace Rhapsody?" There's evidence it's what Gene Roddenberry wanted all along.
Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme song, but he did it for kind of an asshole reason.
Without Courage’s knowledge, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme, not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music’s performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage later commented that he considered Roddenberry’s conduct unethical. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, “Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I’m sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek.”
Roddenberry did lots of things for asshole reasons. he wasn’t a very nice guy. the docuseries The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek goes into a lot of detail about what happened with him behind the scenes.
