And Bonanza:

I'm actually a fan of Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, but I'm kind of
glad
this was left as an instrumental.

I have to admit having a soft spot for that one.  It's so goofy it's
almost fun.  Whenever I hear it, I think of Joel's last episode of
MST3K, when Tom and Servo were singing it while jumping up and down on
pogo sticks.

I have seen the lyrics and am familiar with the story behind them. I
agree
that a "serious" rendition would have been unintentionally funny and
probably embarrassing. But when I read the press releases concerning
the
"Emmy Idol" competition, I assumed that it would be all in fun.

Well, I'd have to agree that if anyone could make that song...
entertaining, it would be Shatner.
