Shatner's attempts are so much better than Nimoy's (c.f. "If I Had A Hammer" on "Highly Illogical") but neither are as funny as Paul Anka singing "Wonderwall"

They're digging up Grandpa's remains to lay the sewer drains.
Oh mate, please don't excavate....."
That's all I remember and it must be 40 years since I heard that. Anyone know of the record it is on, even if not currently available?
Also Milligan and his song about Wormwood Scrubs?*
* A prison of great renown, for those not familiar with the name. I don't know if it is still in use, but if you hear someone on an old British tv program saying anything about going down to the Scrubs, it's 10 to 1 that it's a reference to this prison.
There's a fellow in the prison I'm locked in,
he's a most peculiar fellow.
His name is Eccles and he's in cell nine
and his voice is soft and mellow.
He keeps a fruitcart in his cell
and all the convicts knows it
he does not sing or rave about,
his fruit he simply blows it:
*long sequence of raspberries in tune*
Something like that?

Watched Shaky at Glastonbury this weekend - some poor man had brought along a wooden, panelled, interior door (painted green) and held it above his head all the way through the set .... And Shaky didn't sing it! - How gutted must he have been?
