William Shatner should demand a recount

A poll of musical experts has said that Celine Dion is responsible for the worst cover song ever. Six years ago in Las Vegas, Dion performed AC/Dc’s You Shook Me All Night Long. See the BBC story.

Hear a clip of Celine Dion singing You Shook Me All Night Long.

William Shatner did not make even the bottom five. As you can see (at 1:32 into the video), he was robbed.

My name is Norm Benson and my Lowdermilk manuscript is out for beta review. This is the story of Walter and Inez Lowdermilk, an American couple who came to see soil erosion as a threat to civilization. Their pursuit of land conservation carried them from China and the Dust Bowl to Palestine, where their ideas about reclaiming the land helped build the case for the creation of Israel.

  1. That is really awful. I can’t believe it didn’t make the bottom 5. Anyone talking their way through a song is down near the bottom, but that one is especially ‘special.’ Now I can’t get it out of my mind. Oh no! I am going to have cheesy orchestra music and talk-singing in my head all day now.
