Trek Fan Soundtrack

Being the absolute music nut and musician I am this question tends to hop around my head a lot. A hell of a lot.

'What piece of music do you think of for...?'

I wanna know what songs you think of when you think of Jim, or Bones, or Spock, or Jim/Bones, Chekov, Reaper!Bones...anything really! Anything from the Trek universe. And I dont just mean like the actual movie soundtrack, thats given.

Any piece of music. Doesn't have to be lyrical really, even instrumental pieces can make you think of a certain fic or a certain piece of art, or a scenario that you have imagined.

General suggestions:

- Characters: Like Jim, Bones, Spock, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, Scotty...on and on. What song do you hear as their theme?

- Pairings: eg. Jim/Bones, Jim/Spock, Spock/Bones, Bones/Chekov, Sulu/Chekov, Spock/Uhura...what do you hear when you read them?

- Fan related: Songs that make you think of a particular fandom fic or artwork?

- Doom Trek: Things that make you think of Reaper!Bones and everything related to that style 'verse.

So? I'm curious guys :)

Every time I listen to music I tend to think of a character singing it. Sometimes, it's terrifying. Sometimes it's down right hot. Here's what I usually come up with.

Jim - "Jezabel" by Ricky Martin. I could totally picture him singing that beautiful cha-cha piece (even if it starts out as a tango) as I am sure he has met quite a few "Jezabel" characters in his career as a man-whore.

Bones - "How Sweet It Is" by Michael Buble. Bones is a classy kind of guy so I picture him, if he was to be described by (and most likely sing) a song in my mind I'd picture him as crooner like Buble.

Spock - "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. Spock always has a poker face on to hide his feelings towards people and situations. You wouldn't know he loved you unless he wanted you to know. No one can read his poker face (except maybe Jim XD).

Uhura - "Lose my Breath" by Destiny's Child. The song issues a challenge to the man who would dare to woo her to make her lose her breath. Very much a strong woman's song and this is the definition of Uhura. I could totally picture her singing it too.

Scotty - "We Be Burnin'(Recognize It)" by Sean Paul. Yes, reggae. Scotty will always be the man with a hard to understand accent with a good enough sense of beat to create a catchy tune with a fine taste in women and an even better appreciation for partying.

Sulu - "Polkarama!" by Wierd Al Yankvoich. I get the impression Sulu is just nerdy enough to be able to remix the best songs of the year into one song but be cool enough to not insult the original artist while making a parody. He's the type that would appreciate all types of music... so long as it's a good one.

Chekov - "DotA" by Basshunter. Techno = Chekov. It's a given. The kid is way too peppy and mathematical to fit any other genre and what's better than the idea that he'd play DotA and write a song about it? Basshunter's voice is also in the same pitch I'd picture Chekov's in so long as he sang in Swedish.

Added Bonus:

Reaper!Bones - "DIE MF DIE!" by Dope. Yes. For Bones to go Reaper on someone's ass, they deserve it. If he breaks his one rule against killing he'd be thinking/singing at least the gist, if not the entirety of this song.
