Lyrics

[Shatner]
She came from Greece,
she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College.
That's where I caught her eye.

That would be Joe Jackson. Fantastic song, wonderfully quirky with a rocking chorus.

I want to live like common people. Shatner's music is on par with his prolific acting career, but overshadowed by it.

I used to make fun out of Shatner's musical career, but this is brilliant, I take all my words back! Epic cover, I really like it more than the original version. SHAT IS THE MAN!

Sooooo... Shatner does a unique spoken word piece in a song involving Ben Folds and Joe Jackson, and Shatner ends up contributing to a very impressive piece of work. Excuse me while I go reconsider everything I thought I knew.
