Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme song, but he did it for kind of an asshole reason.
> Without Courage's knowledge, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme, not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music's performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage later commented that he considered Roddenberry's conduct unethical. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, "Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek."

Roddenberry did lots of things for asshole reasons. he wasn’t a very nice guy. the docuseries The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek goes into a lot of detail about what happened with him behind the scenes.
Did he right "noo nooooo nooo noo nooo"?
