Here's.... A... VERYFUNQUIZ! We all know that in addition to his work on Star Trek, TJ Hooker, Rescue 911, Priceline commercials, and Boston Legal, William Shatner also has a prolific musical career; in fact, he kinda is the Original Rapper -- he invented the concept of spoken-word music.  ;D

What we'll do in this quiz is: You will name the song and the original artist for full credit. Some of these cannot be found on any recordinga and some can; some were TV-only performances and some can be found on the internet. It's Cheat Time if you must cheat!  :)

1| Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
Bryan Adams "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" Performed live on the MTV Movie Awards opener one year (I think 1991 or 1992)

2| On such a timeless flight
Elton John "Rocketman" Performed live in 1978 at a sci-fi convention thingy

3| And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Bob Dylan (Also would have accepted The Byrds) "Mr. Tambourine Man" From the album, "The Transformed Man" (1968)

4| With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" From the album, "The Transformed Man" (1968)

5| She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
Pulp "Common People" From the new album, "Has Been" (2004)

6| I love what you eat
You want yogurt? you got yogurt!
"Ideal Woman" From the new album, "Has Been" (2004)

7| You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
You callin' me, has been?
"Has Been" (featuring Henry Rollins of Black Flag) From the new album, "Has Been" (2004)

8| I can't get behind so-called singers
That can't carry a tune
Get paid for talking, how easy is that?
Well, maybe I could get behind that!
"I Can't Get Behind That"

Good..... Luck..... to..... Everyonewhoplays!  :)

#5 Common People - Pulp

1. Everything I do I do for you


Very close; it's "Everything I do (I Do It For You)" and you need to name the original artist.

Everybody else is 100% right! I've added some hints and I will allow people to cheat when we get down to just the originals.

The artist for 1 is Bryan Adams
sorry i guess i forgot to add it

3 is Mr tamborine man by bob Dylan-I think

You must really know your music. I also would have accepted The Byrds because they are the ones who really made the song a hit before Dylan ever officially recorded it.

Now it's time to guess the originals from his new album, Has Been. Now you can just name the song, no artist necessary.

7. I found a listing of the cd-this one must be called has been-

8. I can't get behind that

6. Ideal woman. for these two i had to do a search
