He's got a fine tan shirt with an emblem on the chest...

Today's story on William Shatner awoke a memory from my ska-ed up past. Long Island band The Scofflaws penned an ode to the man way back in 1995. Hear a live version here. Sadly, that's pretty much all the internet has to offer of that song. It seems mid-'90s, Long Island ska bands don't have videos on YouTube.

But the lyrics are great. If you can't decipher them in the song, read them here.

And if you like what you hear, there's more on the band's (still active!) MySpace page.
