[Sociologyboo]

who in the hell disliked this

[MyLuckyLilFellow321]

WOW- This is GREAT!

[zackthewolf333]

I've never heard anything better.

[McGrailyo]

yardsale.

[SidAndBob]

Brilliant!!!! I've never seen this performance before, but love the song. Ben Folds is such an amazing talent. "You will never know me" still sends a shiver down my spine.

Many thanks for uploading. :-)

[kenmeyerjr]

Oh, and all this time, I thought that girl was the woman in Florence and the Machine....

[pjhoward14]

this is one of the best videos of all time and the girl in the background looks like Regina Spector

[timcthefilmguy]

@pjhoward14 It's Fleming and her husband John is playing guitar. Together they are Fleming and John. Search here on youtube for their video for Not Afraid. She is freaking amazing

[nojrevned]

that was absolutely brilliant. there, i managed to do it without any expletives. FUCKIN-EY!

[bluefeathers101mg]

I want Shatner to sing this to me at my wedding.

[Mikey3394]

foxStick - you are correct. Her husband John is playing the Vee guitar behind Shatner, and he and Ben Folds produced the album that this song came from (Fear of Pop, Vol I.)

[ajax420336]

MOTHERFUCKING SHATNER

[Kanjihack]

Best collab ever

[entulista]

"...and... I went in for the kill."

Shatner is DA MAN. I remember watching this on TV way back when and it's still awesome today.

[gompth1966]

This is NOT strange enough for me!

[opie327]

uncanny

[Sarc37]

I want to meet that background singer.

[DChaundy1]

Sublime!

[JB9982]

INCREDIBLE. 

[DChaundy1]

Love this!

[theproffet]

The single greatest musical moment, OF ALL . . .time . . .

[TheVictorians]

luv u ben

[j2n]

This is a good video to watch in case you're afraid you don't like music anymore.

[KyoshoBallard]

Holy crap I had no idea they ever performed this live. I mean, of course it makes sense (they collaborated on a whole album later), but still. Wow, awesome.

[boozebarron]

@KyoshoBallard

Shatner also did the studio recording of this song

[TheEpicWeezl]

conan looks so fat

[yomachaser]

I wish the audience was more savvy he didn't say anything funny. In fact this song is kinda harsh.

[FushiOsaka]

@yomachaser Agreed; I thought that laugh in the middle of the video came at a very inappropriate time.

[rjones100]

This was the first and only vinyl album I ever bought. Perfect choice.

[Nintenuendo]

The epitome of genius...

[joeljparks]

The girl singing is Fleming, and her husband John is playing the flying-v in the background.

[rainydaypictures]

@joeljparks Dude! I haven't heard Fleming and John in forever! I wondered where they'd been...

[susanspamyo]

Yes! I have this on VHS somewhere! and was lucky enough to send a rare glimpse to the television for a moment to capture it.

[psychicguitar]

there was a really cool remix of this somewhere....

[mandwhy77]

'At puberty I was sworn to secrecy by the international brotherhood of lying fickle males' absolute genius.

[CarlosPimento]

"Why even say it!?!"

[Daigoro35]

Thanks so much for posting this. And to everyone who loves this, Im glad youre here. You're beautiful.

[johnandhisdog]

Shatner can express more in a phrase than most people can manage in a hundred pages of writing.

[odinstalzzo]

This vdeo use to be on youtube a LOOOONG ass time ago!!! Im happy its back up and someone kept it safe!

[thewormster]

great song funny and to the point

[yourmothaq]

Dammit Shatner, that was good. And so beautiful.

[popcornlover100]

lol "and......i went in for the kill." haha great song.

[eruption257]

I was expecting crap. I got the most beautiful gold in the world.

[cmkotyk]

@eruption257 yeah, exactly right

[TaskmasterX]

This song is the perfect epitome of Men and their relationships with Woman! I love it!

[Alekx]

This is so lovely.

I'm a sappy bitch so it makes me cry.

Great performance.

[rukkel45]

Who's that girl singing in the background? She looks like a fairytale sorceress that kisses you out of your frog-existence.

[caramelo17]

she also sings the back vocal in "It hasn´t happened yet". Watch it! She´s amazing there!

[Nakedprey]

That is Fleming McWilliams from Fleming and John, and she is an amazing vocalist. Check out their records "Delusions of Grandeur" and "The Way We Are".

[rukkel45]

Thanks guys! This is appreciated!

[petepurin]

@rukkel45 She was in the group Fleming and John. I saw them open for Ben Folds Five in the 90s

[foxStick]

@rukkel45 I think it's Fleming McWilliams.

[skweeds]

@rukkel45 that is Fleming McWilliams, from "Fleming & John"; Ben Folds guested on their album "The Way We Are". Great band. And yes, she's a goddess.

[guedillepoulet]

great song

[rhollusstar]

Weird; but weird in a cool way!

[robotwookie]

This song is the Alpha and Omega IMO

[yomanimus]

Every time I watch Shatner I think of the Homerpalooza episode of the Simpsons. 2 kids cheering for Homer and one says something like, "Are you cheering ironically?" The other replies, "I don't even know anymore."

[JACNTYNESMOM]

Yeah I cant believe theres only 10 ppl commenting here! And yeah it was back in 99' I loved it first time I saw it!

[djbethell]

Great to see this back up on Youtube.

[BrianMorrison71]

This is brilliant. Shatner is the king...

[Tanru2000]

OK in the other video it says it was in 2000, but here it says 1999! I can't believe it was so long ago! I remember seeing it when it first aired and remembered loving it! This it the first time I've seen this since then!

[mofrakker]

Finally got 2 see the full perfomance

[godwhyisthistaken]

cool

[withaconcretedildo]

Out of all the tv musical performances I've seen, this is definitely the most original. 10 years later and it still defines the term "strangely beautiful".

[bluepear7]

I so agree with you...I remember seeing this performance...and I found it again on Limewire...and its great...I listened it several times already.

[vidkid5555]

FABULOUS!!!

[DoktorMochaXYZ]

How is this not the most viewed, most highly rated, most famous, most extraordinary musical performance on YouTube? 132 views, 2 ratings ??? The interweb can be such a cruel mistress ...

[Craigmin]

@DoktorMochaXYZ One year later and we are up to 14,289 views. :)

[domer832000]

@DoktorMochaXYZ

Amen brother. The power of The Shat should not be overlooked!

[darliegoddess]

@DoktorMochaXYZ 21,000

[banstoetter1]

@DoktorMochaXYZ because Radiohead and Mars Volta exist.  Also, I love Ben. Just reassuring.
