They appear in the episode “Once Upon a Time,” where Neelix uses the program to comfort young Naomi Wildman.

Lyric excerpt — “In the Pines”: “In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines. That’s where I might as well be. Where it’s dark and cold and the sun never shines. Just as cold as your love for me.”
Lyric excerpt — “Oleana”: verses about emigrating to a fictional utopia — “Oh, to be an Oleana, that is where I’d like to be, then he bound in Norway and dragged the chain of slavery. / In Oleana, land is free, so wheat and corn just plant themselves. Then grow a good 4 feet a day while on your bed you rest yourself. / Beer as sweet as [missing word], in her spring from the ground and flew away. The cows all liked to milk themselves and the hens lay 10 times a day. / Little roasted pickles rush about the city streets, lingering so politely if a slice of ham you’d like to eat. / Hi, if you’d begin to live in Oleana, you must go. The poorest wretch in Norway becomes a duke in a year or so.”
Lyric excerpt — untitled: “You wanted love and I gave you mine. You said you would always be true. Then you gave me tears and wasted years, for the love I gave to you. I kissed mama with a last goodbye. Now I’m lonely as I can be. It broke her poor heart to see me cry, when you took your love for me.”
