''[[Heart of Oak]] '' ist ein [[Lied]], das [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picards]] [[Duplikat]] im [[Zehn Vorne]] singt. Es ist ein altes [[englisch]]es Volkslied. ({{TNG|Versuchskaninchen}})
Come cheer up, my lads! 'tis to glory we steer,

Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men;
We always are ready, steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.

==Hintergrundinformationen==
Zu hören ist in der oben genanten Folge nur die erste Strophe und der erste Refrain. Tatsächlich wurde der englische Text 1759 vom damals berühmten Schauspieler David Garrick (1716-1779) geschrieben (siehe [http://www.contemplator.com/england/heartoak.html hier]). Die weiteren Zeilen lauten dort:
<blockquotepoem>We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay,<br />They never see us but they wish us away;<br />If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore,<br />For if they won't fight us, we cannot do more.<br />''Chorus''<br />They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes,<br />They frighten our women, our children, and beaus;<br />But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o'er,<br />Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore.<br />''Chorus''<br />We'll still make them fear, and we'll still make them flee,<br />And drub 'em on shore, as we've drubb'd 'em at sea;<br />Then cheer up, my lads! with one heart let us sing:<br />Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen and Queen.</blockquote>
(Chorus)They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes,They frighten our women, our children, and beaus;But should their flat bottoms in darkness get o'er,Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore. (Chorus)We'll still make them fear, and we'll still make them flee,And drub 'em on shore, as we've drubb'd 'em at sea;Then cheer up, my lads! with one heart let us sing:Our soldiers, our sailors, our statesmen and Queen.</poem> [[Kategorie:MusikMusikstück]]
