Today's Tune: "Shitlist" By L7 And William Shatner Sings Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You!"

Happy Birthday William Shatner! Mr. Shatner was born on March 22, 1931. He is most well known for starring in the original Star Trek television series (1966 - 1969), as well as in several Star Trek films. However, he has done so much more, as an actor, author, director and producer. Our 'Today's Tune' double feature focuses on more recent history.

First up is "Shitlist" (1992), by L7. This song sprang to mind due to Bill's recent CBS comedy TV show named Shit My Dad Says, which is based on Justin Halpern's Twitter site also named Shit My Dad Says. This choice isn't meant as a slight on the show's quality level. On the contrary, I quite like it myself. The only person recently solidifying his position on my shitlist is Pittsburgh Penguins' out-of-control NHL forward Matt Cooke.

I've never liked Cooke, and his latest transgression, for which he has been awarded a lengthy suspension, has only deepened the already strong hatred in my heart. So, this one's for you, MC Douche Bag.

I'm not sure how Bill Shatner would react if he were to witness Matt Cooke's maliciousness, but he provides the second half of today's double dipper. You see, Shatner is also a singer. Click here for his complete discography. His special cover of Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You!" (2010) could just as well have been directed at Cooke. As a matter of fact, maybe the league should force Matt Cooke to listen to Shatner's performance repeatedly for a few hours. You know, as an added bonus punishment. He's certainly earned it. Sorry Bill, that does seem like a slight on your musical talents, doesn't it?

Today's Tune: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" By Alexander Courage

The first episode of the original Star Trek television series to be broadcast, was aired on September 8, 1966. The series is a science fiction show that takes place in outer space, and was created by American screenwriter and producer Gene Roddenbery.

"The Man Trap" was actually the 6th to be produced, including 2 pilots (1 failed, 1 aired during season 1), but was the episode chosen to be shown first. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" is the instrumental theme music written by Alexander Courage, who also created the woosh sound heard when the Starship Enterprise flies by during the opening credits. The second pilot episode uses the same title. Canadian actor and writer William Shatner, who starred as the character Captain James T. Kirk, provided the opening monologue that is added, creating the "Theme From Star Trek".
