The Transformed Man II?

Alan K Henderson recalls the songs from William Shatner's 'classic' "Transformed Man", and shudders at the thought that the man might one day consider a followup, making apalling mockeries of well-loved classics. So he came up with the following list.

Top Ten Songs That William Shatner Should Be Legally Banned From Singing
10. "Achy-Breaky Heart" (Billy Ray Cyrus)
9. "Sympathy for the Devil" (Rolling Stones)
8. "Space Truckin'" (Deep Purple)
7. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (AC/DC)
6. "Gentle on my Mind" (Glen Campbell - also recorded by Leonard Nimoy)
5. "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin)
4. anything by the Bee Gees
3. "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen)
2. "Theme to 'Shaft'" (Isaac Hayes)
1. "I'm Your Captain" (Grand Funk Railroad)

I couldn't resist adding a few more...

11. "Get your hands off my woman" (The Darkness)
12. "Anarchy in the UK" (The Sex Pistols)
13. "Spirit of the Age" (Hawkwind)
14. "Starship Trooper" (Yes)
15. "I'm the Urban Spaceman" (Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band)
16. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" (Meatloaf) Slasfic fans; don't even think about this as a duet with Leonard Nimoy...
17. "Bike" (Pink Floyd)
18. "Wannabe" (The Spice Girls)
19. "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" (Frank Zappa)
20. "Killed by Death" (Motorhead)

Try reciting the poem at the end of "Knights in White Satin" in a Shatner voice; it's a gas.
