Abdul Abulbul Amir

"Abdul Abulbul Amir" was a 19th century Earth song.

In 2367, on Terlina III, Lore sang the first verse of the song after successfully impersonating Data in order to trick Noonien Soong into installing an emotion chip in him and commented "I've always loved that ditty, but I could never quite get the cadence right."

The song was originally written by Percy French in 1877. Many variations of the lyrics exist, including a parody used by British rugby clubs.
