@joemalik45 actually, William shatner guest starred on that futurama, along with Leonard nimoy, and (im pretty sure) nichelle nichols, and definitely george takei.
Rapping means 'talking', and is precisely why a poor poet with an attitude, blowing poorly-rhymed chunks of creative mediocrity down a microphone is called 'rap' - nobody could possibly consider it 'singing', could they? This is a perfectly appropriate rendition, all the more entertaining for the self-deprecating humour that has characterised Shatner's unusually successful 'singing' career, and the utter lack of poetry (or sense) in the vapid subject material.
@ItsGettingColder1 : I surmise from your banal riposte that I have caused you offence by way of expressing an opinion. I further surmise from your 'guess' that you don't know how to navigate to profiles. Thank you for your response, and if you feel that you have anything more substantive to add, I eagerly anticipate what should be (and I state this ironically) a pearl of entertaining wit. Please feel at liberty to ingest your sentiment in a suppository manner, with my candid encouragement! ;)
@ItsGettingColder1 : Thank you, I shall. Seeing as you have no clue what my tastes are, I think you've truly made progress here today with such a blessing! Well done - it's a nice change from your normal, acerbic approach to communication. I am honestly pleased for you, though I do hope that you can continue to show such tolerance for... well, whatever it is you so hate so much in people you don't know the first thing about. =D
@ItsGettingColder1 : He watches you when you're doing unnatural things in the shower, yes... but the only time he sees me is when it's my round, and I've never seen the fucker buy a round back either. If you're ever in his neck of the woods, tell him to return the tools he borrowed too.
@ItsGettingColder1 : I think we all do if not abnormal, though few have the pleasure of doing so in the forests of Norway! The uninspiring wastes of London are all I get to wander, though it caters to many tastes. I imagine it must be damnably cold there now- gotta' watch you don't get frost bite! ;)
@ItsGettingColder1 : To further clarify the reason for the comment that caused you such undue consternation, I was simply answering the question "How can you do a spoken word version of a rap song?"
Of course, Shatner's comedic approach to *any* song is to speak it, but it seemed somewhat appropriate that he should speak a piece that was already of a genre named for the quality of being 'spoken' (i.e- 'rapped').
@tml4873 I wasn't refering to the title or the person posting the video. I'm refering to the people commenting thinking this is a serious thing, you may or may not know that a few decades ago Shatner took the liberty of butchering some classic rock songs.
@iowaguitarshred *Facepalm* not all rap songs have autotune going along with a beat unless your talking abourt that new bullshit excuse for what they have out now these days.
yeap this is from the episode where no fan has gone before. they got all the original actors from star trek the original series (except james doohan cuz hes dead)
James Doohan wasn't dead at the time, he just didn't want to voice Scotty. DeForrest Kelley was dead at the time which was why Bones never said anything.
