Fascinating Rhythm,  
You’ve got me on the go!  
Fascinating Rhythm,  
I’m all a-quiver.

What a mess you’re making!  
The neighbors want to know  
Why I’m always shaking  
Just like a flivver.

(Picture Spock doing a song and dance to this.)

I went to MarCon one year (it’s a science fiction/fantasy convention in Ohio) where, among the skits performed at the Masquerade, was one choice gem. The scene opened inside a happy little Hobbit home with family. Then the music started, and in strolled a young Mr. Spock strumming a Vulcan lute, and lipsyncing to Leonard Nimoy’s _The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins_. With dancing Hobbits.

'Twas lovely, it was.

OK last one.  
I’ve heard the recording of Shatner “singing” Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. (The horror, the horror.)
