William Shatner ("Boston Legal'') and opera's von Stade [will sing] the theme from Shatner's 1960s series "Star Trek.''
Merciful $DEITY. This is horrible on two levels:
Shatner is no singer. If you don't believe me, just hunt up his version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. <shudder>
Yes, there are lyrics to the Star Trek theme. They're bad. Really bad. It was a service to society when the final theme was recorded for the show without them.
