Default Paste Special, Text in Excel 2007

I'm copying data from a web site to an Excel 2007 worksheet.
Specifically, I'm creating a database of my DVDs and using IMDB as a
source of information, specifically the release date of the movie.
Right now I'm copying the date from the web page, right-clicking on the
appropriate cell and selecting Paste Special and then selecting Text.
This is getting to be too repetitive to be convenient. Is there a
keyboard shortcut to do this? I'd love to just hit Ctrl-V (or something
similar) to paste it as plain text with no HTML codes or formatting.
