Have you read John Scalzi's Redshirts? (Scalzi also commissioned Jonathan Coulton to write a song about redshirts, and I know there's a Star Trek TOS fanvid floating around to that song.)
Hee hee! That seems to be the question of the week around here! My brother and I go around quoting it all the time. ("It doesn't bother you that there's a magic box in the science lab?!")
The comment below yours has the link to that song, if you're interested.
I like Redshirts, yes, but it seems a little bit too bummed out to be elevated into greatness. I prefer Voltaire's Star Trek songs--The USS Make Shit Up is so much fun to sing. And, of course, there's The Sexy Data Tango ...
This one popped up a few years ago and then disappeared for a while--but not before causing me to forever associate the song 9 to 5 with those poor hardworking redshirts.

That one is darn funny, too, haven't seen it before.
