Default Best Singer in Trek

Warped, weird poll time. Note that we're talking about the singing voices of the characters, not the actors themselves.

Oh, and please no references to the album Golden Throats, okay?

You can look it up on Wikipedia, but suffice to say, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy sing on it.

Maybe here is a good place to ask - does anyone know where I could find 'Moonlight Becomes You', as sung by the holo-woman in First Contact?

Not sure. The song doesn't appear to be included in the soundtrack album, and the only album I can find that she has out under her own name doesn't have it, either.

I see that the holograms are neck-to-neck. Vic/Doc would've made an awesome crossover, wouldn't it? You know, bounce a signal through the wormhole and off the Gamma Quadrant array (which is closer to Delta, remember?), and let them bond? Think of the duets!

Wouldn't the First Contact album have that?

You'd think so, but apparently not.

Vic could hang, but have you ever heard a Classical musician attempt jazz? It's usually not pretty. (There's an expression: "He wouldn't swing if you hung him and gave him a push.")

I already stated above that it does not. Now you can see for yourself.

Hey, there are lots of things that would allow their musical styles to mesh! "Let's Get Together" comes to mind.

A freaky thought just struck me. What if Doc could replicate his mobile emitter, and he gave one to Vic? What would Vic do in the real world? Go on a music tour of Risa and Wrigley's Pleasure Planet?

And nearly all of them involve dragging Vic down to some lame, amateur level. Pass.

There are several songs by that title, and I'm not sure any of them are a good idea.

The sort of thing you're proposing might sound like a great idea to non-musicians; hearing it, they might even convince themselves that they liked it. Frankly, just the thought of it makes me cringe.

"Let's Get Together" as written by the Sherman Brothers and as sung by Hayley Mills. You know, Doc's tickling the ivories and Vic shows up with a sax. "Do you mind, I'm giving a concert!" Plus having Doc say "Hey al-li-gah-tah" would be great.

Don't get me started on the First Contact album. How did a movie with such a great score bungle the soundtrack album so badly? (sigh)

Shark, tread carefully. Yours truly is a classical and jazz clarinetist who most certainly can swing.

I'm a strange person? You don't have the slightest idea.

I haven't forgotten (I also do both, though not on that particular instrument) and I did say...

Usually. Not always. Stolzman pulls it off pretty well; Edgar Meyer can play damn near anything and sound great, and check out a German cellist named Wolfram Huschke some time. There are others, but I really don't think I need to remind you just how awkward and painfully square the overwhelming majority of classically-trained musicians are when they decide to "let their hair down" and play jazz, that poor, black-sheep relative of "serious" music.
