  • Yep. Nice work. Great song.

    Nope. Not a cover song, it's an original.

  • This song is not a cover. It was written by Bill and Ben.

  • @amrakanavrin

    The Flower Pot Men?! That certainly puts this song in a new context.

  • @TheRandomfanboy Bill Shatner and Ben Folds. But, very funny, big guy.

  • @amrakanavrin i was wondering...i didn't think it was a cover either.

  • 3:40 ". .. And I'm gonna diiieee" - best part.

  • GREAT song ... video interpretation needs a little work .... still tho, around 1:58 there's the sign that says "I've decided to Live until I Die"

    THAT. Is. AWESOME!!!

  • RIP Joey.

  • from my favorite cd of all time.

  • I'm having this played at my funeral. Classic.

  • Chris Farley!

  • 7 people think they are immortal

  • I love this song so...so much. Thank you for posting.

  • Well, everybody beat me to the Keith Moon thing so I will just say that the pairing up of Ben Folds and Mr. Shatner was very cool. The FEMA thing at the end was good too,and true.

  • This song made me feel happy in ways I can't possibly describe! Whenever I feel like shit I put this on

  • my funeral song the guys a god

  • my funeral song the guys a legend

  • my funeral song and the man is fucking awesome a god

  • This isn't a cover. It was written by Ben Folds and William Shatner. Great song. When I first heard the beginning, I was horrified because it sounded like Shatner was singing and was ridiculously flat. But when I realized he wasn't trying to sing, it was all good.

  • (the sung part in the background)

    Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E-G-O-doubl­e-N-A-DIE Die!

    You are gonna diiiiiie

    Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose

    Choke on a chicken bone

    Hit by a lightning bolt

    Spider bite

    Airplane crash

    Car wreck

    F*cked up in your aaaaa---s-s-s-s!

  • You're gonna die!

  • LOL

    I love this song. Funny story, I met a chick in her late 20's at a party and threw this song on and within a couple of hours later got her to smoke bud for the first time in her life and I think her hearing this song was the main reason for her trying a new experience. Pretty funny if ya ask me.

  • Yup this is the (one) thing none of us get cheated of...were all gonna kick it , so live now & love many, give to others, & will come back 10 fold.. BE HAPPY..cause one day your gonna die :)

  • Hee hee great story, great song, great man, hallelujah!

    Think the lyrics are meant to be more 'life affirming' than depressing. It's a wake up call song guys........peace

  • every one should listen to tis especially politicians, yeah it was keeif moon, only......... in america.......

  • I love the shot of the In & Out Logo at "why didn't I taste it?"

  • Ya, I want this song played at my memorial service. My parting words to my loved ones from byond the grave. LOL

  • Hopefully there won't be any copyright trouble here; I contacted the company that produced this CD for him a few years back so I could use clips from it on my own site and they were cool with it.

  • This sounds like a great funeral song!!!

    I agree with lex061284.

  • That was a funny song, yet it's also one of those warnings we constantly ignore, myself included. The only family member I really knew who died was our first dog, who was 4 years older than I. I don't know if I should play this song to my 96-year-old grandmother.

  • What a great song for a memorial service (even with the profanity at the end). Thanks for posting.

  • Its not a cover BTW

  • If this is a cover, who recorded it first?

  • I don't know if it is a cover. It is in Shatner's 2005 production "Has Been." :-D

  • Comment removed

  • this will be played at my funeral!!!

  • @lex061284 Great idea!

  • @lex061284 ditto, the mans a legend

  • @lex061284 -- not a song, but what I want as my epitaph ... from "Zen Peoms of China and Japan : The Crane's Bill" by Lucien Stryk, takashi Ikemoto, and Taigan Takayama ............

    "Don't tell me how difficult the Way.

    The bird's path, winding far, is right

    Before you. Water of the Dokei gorge,

    You return to the ocean, I to the mountains."

  • When the guy says: "like that guy in the Stones..." That's Keith Moon from The Who, not a guy from The Rolling Stones.... You should fix that.

  • "THE GUY"???!!! That's Mr. Shatner to you! :)

    I know it's Keith Moon, but I reckoned since he od' as well that he fit... besides I can't be bothered to re-edit it... :)

    Well spotted though

  • The guy from the Stones was Brian Jones.

  • Comment removed

  • Another Instant Shatner Classic and the video was cool too!

    Five Stars!

  • pretty metal

  • the death star 2 was an interesting choice

  • Hmm, maybe this is why he doesn't sing. That's a good thing.

  • Muy buen tema y una letra increíble.

    TODOS VAMOS A MORIR!!!!!

    Saludos desde el más allá.

    Bye...

  • live life. live like like you're gonna die, 'cause you're gonna

  • YOUR GONNA DIE! XD, my god its so funny...

  • naw, the shat wouldnt sue

  • nice song nice vid nice life

  • Err...The photo of "that guy from the Stones" is actually Keith Moon of the The Who. But he has also assumed room temperature, so what's a former English rock star between friends?

  • My wife pointed that out to me as well... but as you said, he is dead so... :)

    Besides, what a cool pic! :)

  • @Skol10 Beautiful!

  • Cool Vid! Great CD- one of the best in my collection. Gotta love The Shat- he gets it. He knows who and what he is and has fun with it.

  • Great video except for one thing.....

    When Shatner gets to the lyric "and that guy in the Stones", you have a picture of Keith Moon, the drummer for the Who. The guy in the Stones who died is Brian Jones.

    If it makes you feel any better, Keith Moon is also dead, though.

  • Doh! you are right!

    Although that is a cool picture of Keith Moon I think :)

  • @ScootterUK2 That's no Moon, that's a space station

  • beautiful song...nice pictures.(good job & thanx for posting it)

  • Why thanks very much! I was happy with how it all turned out to be honest. :)

  • awful video great song

  • Thanks, I think. so let's see your video Mr. Spielberg... ;)
