And Beck’s “Where It’s At” video pays homage to the Shatner clip.

David Soul. “Don’t Give Up On Us, Baby.” Surely I’m not the only one who remembers that… song.

Pathetic, I started Eddie Murphy and my 10 year-old knew the song from the opening riff, but they couldn’t figure out his name. Dr, Doolittle, the guy from haunted mansion, etc

Rick Springfield was a singer first. He had a hit in ‘72(?) with Speak to the Sky. He took acting classes and got a role on a soap before Jesse’s Girl.

While he’s not my taste, he is more legitimate than the people on this list as a bonafide musician, which is probably why he isn’t listed.

How about a listing of musicians who made ham fisted atttempts at acting?

I don’t usually tell people what to put on their list posts, but yeah, Don Johnson is definitely missing here. He is best enjoyed/ridiculed when you watch the video for “Heartbeat”.

William Shatner is so awesomely bad that I actually have some of his songs and listen to them when I need a laugh. I love Bill. He makes me smile.

And yes, Jack Wagner and Rick Springfield were “musicians” before they were actors. Not saying they were anything great or special, but acting came later for both of them. And now I have “All I Need” stuck in my head. Damn you, 1980’s.

What about Stewie Griffin’s version of William Shatner’s “Rocketman”. The epitome of cool…

Jennifer Love Hewitt has like 6+ albums those most were overseas only (big in Japan apparently).

I agree that “She’s like the wind” is better than the drek on this list.

Tim Curry’s “Paradise Garage.” Never fails to supply me with the giggles.
