Shatner does "Iron Man"

Too funny!

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Some people shouldn't be permitted to sing.

I believe that was the point. He knows he is a bad singer.

I don't see how he couldn't know. He has ears, and presumably friends as well.

Have you ever heard him sing the 1960s hit "Wild thing"?

How about Bohemian Rhapsody?

How about William Shatner singing "Fuck you"?

Actually Bill talks on key,which is a form of singing. See Rex Harrison video below from My Fair Lady.

Given the frequency with which Bill has always insisted on singing, I suspect he has no idea just how appalling he sounds.To be fair,his singing is of a slightly higher calibre than his acting in Star Trek. 
Bill's masterpiece "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"

A famous little clip, for the enjoyment of all.
"......nailed it!" LOL.
I think he does know that he's a terrible singer, and I think he realizes that what was once unintentional comedy is something that he can bring to the table intentionally at this point. Shat will crack jokes at his own expense, and it's not like he isn't an actor...capable of creating and maintaining a persona for the purpose of entertainment. The guy is my celeb hero..lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
