821. Mr. Tambourine Man by William Shatner (1968)

"Mr. Tambourine Man" is one of music's greatest songs. It was written by Bob Dylan and transformed by the Byrds. It has been covered over and over. In one of the oddest covers, William Shatner decided to record his own version. He would leave the set of Star Trek and head to the studio to cut his own spoken world album. In between Shakespeare, Shatner did this....

964. Shadows of the Night by Pat Benatar (1982)

The video for "Shadows of the Night" got banned in Germany for its World War II action. In the video, Benatar plays a Rosie the Riveter and imagines going on an undercover mission for the Allies. Why was it banned? It has swatikas...apparently the Star Trek episode "Patterns of Force" is banned for the same reason.

992. Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (2000)

A lot of pop culture references in this one. The RHCP reference David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Star Wars, Star Trek, the moon landing conspiracy theory, and Dorothy Stratten. It also examines the dark side of Hollywood with references to porn, fake boobs, plastic surgery, and the self destructive nature of many artists.

Best Line: Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation.
