well in a way it kinda is...if it was a one time parody okay. but didnt he do a whole album with this kind of stuff?

Shatner is weird. He does stuff like this, which, quite frankly, is somewhat painful to listen to, and could be considered complete rape of the original material, and then he does absolutely awesome stuff like this: William Shatner feat. Henry Rollins - I Can't Get Behind That!

This is the best thing I've seen all day.

Sincere.

I saw this. My favorite comment was "Warp speed away from this, please!"

Call me a heathen, but I like his version of "Common People" so much more than the original, and I do like the original.

Okay, I kinda like his take on the first part of the song and I could totally see Roger Waters doing it that way, a la The Wall.

Yep, that's the one Shatnerised song that can actually stand on its own. I still prefer the original, though.

You have to admire Shatner. By now it's pretty much impossible to tell where the persona ends and the man begins. If anywhere.

That was very odd. I liked it, but it was odd. :)

I have to say, that version of Common People is excellent for me. I never appreciated the lyrics till now.

How could lukaszthegreat miss that I don't even... :D

hehe. Maybe it was on purpose :)

well

he is 80 years old. he is allowed to rape any original material.
