Yes, 'Star Trek’s' Rebecca Romijn Actually Learned ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ In Klingon

The latest "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode to hit the 2026 TV schedule features the most impressive feat I've seen in the franchise's modern era, especially after learning how much effort it took. That's right, while "Human Best Friend" was a goofy episode featuring the crew on shore leave, Rebecca Romijn told CinemaBlend that singing in Klingon was no vacation.

I spoke with Rebecca Romijn about the latest episode, in which we saw Una sing the late Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" entirely in Klingon. It wasn't dubbed or made up; Romijn actually learned the song in alien language, and as she explained, it was quite difficult.
