Frère Jacques is a well known children's song, sung in the French language.
Jean-Luc Picard and the winners of the school science fair aboard the Enterprise-D sung this song whilst climbing up a turbolift shaft in 2368. (TNG: "Disaster")
Picard (playing his Ressikan flute) and Nella Daren (playing her portable piano) performed a duet of Frère Jacques in one of the service junctions of the Enterprise-D in 2369. (TNG: "Lessons")
- Frère Jacques Beaulieu was actually a celebrated 17th Century French lithotomist, born in 1651.
