Even Captain Kirk has to sing the blues...

[shadowkat]

Hee. Just heard a fun song by Jeff Daniels (the film actor) on Folk alley internet radio.
It's called: "If William Shatner Can? I Can Too..."

The first lyric?

"If William Shatner Can? I Can too. Even Captain Kirk has to sing the blues...

I'm a Hollywood Renaissance man..."

Wish could remember the rest.

It's about Hollywood Actors who get enough money and pick up a guitare and sing. Listed in the song are: Russell Crow, Adam Sandler, and even Xenia...
LOL!

He wrote it to get money for his repetory theater company in Michigan.

Up to you... they are cool lyrics.

My favorite was about Adam Sandler and Xenia. LOL!

So apt...it seems whenever any of the actors get enough money they go off to form bands and sing. Can't say I blame them - there's another group that goes off and becomes writers (Shatner has a written a bunch of sci-fi novels, Michael Caine wrote a few thrillers, Ethan Hawk wrote a play and a book, Richard Hatch wrote a few Battle Star Galatica comic books...LOL!)
And then there's the *famous* writers and rock stars who become actors: Beyonce, Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Whitney Houston, and Stephen King
who has acted in films.

Are they Renaissance people? Or just rich enough to be Renaissance people?

Ok, here's the rest then :
If William Shatner can, I can too
Captain Kirk's gotta sing the blues
Just another celebrity with nothin' to lose
Singin' for my supper with my hat in my hand
Well, I'm Hollywood's answer to a Renaissance Man

Despite people across the country screamin' please don't do it!
We've got another CD from Jennifer Love Hewitt
And now that Adam Sadler's got more money than God
I hope he takes his guitar and just goes away

It's safe to say, no one wins
When you listen to the Olsen Twins

If William Shatner can, I can too
Captain Kirk's gotta sing the blues
Just another celebrity with nothin' to lose
Singin' for my supper with my hat in my hand
Well, I'm Hollywood's answer to a Renaissance man

During the Star Spangled Banner Roseanne grabbed her crotch
Those with televisions got to watch
Zena the Warrior Princess hit a high "C"
Out popped a breast and well, you know the rest
Oh say can you see

The Three Sides of Bob Guiney
Are three sides too many

If William Shatner can, I can too
Captain Kirk's gotta sing the blues
Just another celebrity with nothin' to lose
Singin' for my supper with my hat in my hand
Well, I'm Hollywood's answer to a Renaissance Man.
