Who performed this Star Trek promotional song?

In the early 1990s, local television network affiliates across North America aired this promotional advertisement for The Next Generation, featuring a song sung to the tune of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire":

Jean-Luc 
Geordi's specs 
Mysteries on the holodecks 

Asteroids 
Triple droids 
Telepathic Betazoids 

Transporter 
Deadly claw
Visitor from L.A. Law 

Photons
No Kirk
Captain has gone berserk 

Shuttlecraft
Counselor Troi
Doctor Crusher's little boy 

Klingon rites
Parasites
New heights
Phaser fights
Data's head
Tasha's dead
Riker's hangin' by a thread 

Celebration
Transformation
Everyone to battle stations 

We didn't start the series
It's the Next Generation 
on your favourite station 

We didn't start the series
But when we are gone it will 
still be on and on and on... 

We didn't start the series...
