I have that song on my iPod (heard it on radioparadise.com) and it makes me giggle like a drunk mouse
 

This is a great one:

So great, in fact, that I can't even listen to Leonard Cohen's original without cringing.

Also, it saddens me that this song is best known as "that one from Shrek"

Love that song. This is my personal fav Shatner cover, though:

But then, I'm a huge Dylan fan. :D Plus I always lose it 'cause of the way he says 'in the jingle ... JANGLE! mornin' and his yell at the end. :rofl:

Richard Cheese does a few good covers hehe.

Sorry no youtube looks like alot of the videos that were just static shots but had the music are not there anymore and the live recordings sucks in quality do to all the crappy recordings by people.


EDIT: Down with the Sickness and Welcome to the Jungle are pretty good.

That album made me want to buy some Ben Folds/Five, and get some more Joe Jackson CD's. I fell through on the Ben Folds/Five end of the deal though.

Ah, so it's your fault that the idea to build a William Shatner station on Pandora popped into my head this morning.

Thank you? :bush:

I tried that. After Shatner's Romeo and Juliet it played Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch.

Yeah. It got really weird fast. I'm moving through the Shat, Tom Jones, Bloodhound Gang, Tiny Tim...I gave up for a while and moved to this weeks podcast. I might have to break down and download the Shatner stuff directly.

Failure- Enjoy The Silence
Dishwalla- Policy of truth
The Replicants- Destination Unknown, Are Friends Electric
The Vandels- Dance of the Sugarplumb Faeries
Johnny Cash- Hurt
God Lives Underwater- Flies on the Windscreen
Nine Inch Nails- Dead Souls


All better than anything Shatner has done.
