I have, sitting proudly on my hard drive, an mp3 of Leonard Nimoy
singing "If I Had A Hammer" (not to mention a video of ol' Spock
singing about Bilbo Baggins with a bunch of go-go girls in pointy
ears and large, brightly-colored, topical lapel buttons). All pales
in comparison to Shatner's haunting rendition of... "When I was
Seventeen," or whatever the title of that mangled ode is. He sounds
kind of like Frank Gorshin doing James Cagney impersonating Bob Dylan.
