It's almost like a mashup of the two versions because obviously it's Shatner's cover, but the character in front has kept similar mannerisms to those of the singer from the original Pulp music video. Great Job!
In lieu of an "official" video for this song (until I finish filming mine), this is the single-best version I've seen, and I've watched it about 30 times. Any plans to do one from his latest album?
Look, I've watched this about 10 times. Why has it only been watch 20K in total? Should be millions. Dare I say it but I like this more than Pulp. Surely the guy in the back is the same as the one in the front just one is superimposed on the other. Maybe we wrong. Why did Shatner do this, why did the guy mime it. don't know; don't care. Brilliant!
absolutely brilliant! it's perfect! should be The music video for this song! perfect lip-synching and facial expression...got it saved in my favourites!
Hey man - this is brilliant! There's quite a few videos made for this song but this one just blows them away! Really love your expressions and hair flicks while the 'other guy' is singing. Hope you don't mind but I've posted this on Facebook as I think it deserves to be seen by more people. Can't wait for you to make another video. Well done dude!
I am so happy after watching this! Seriously great video. I didn't think this song could be any better, but this just elevated even higher! Great job.
MATE this is brilliant!! At 1st I thought, meh, this is gonna be rubbish but it's really subtle and REALLY funny, Your expressions are spot on. I really hope shatner's seen this.
Pulp's original is a wonderfully melodic, massive anthem... Shatner's cover adds sardonic bite to the satirical lyrics and is a fresh, harder-hitting version... and the sheer talent shown by the forefront actor here puts the tin hat on it. NEVER seen so much expression done using SOMEONE ELSE's voice!.. this is REAL talent. And, no matter the extra pounds, he's got real sex appeal... as in the genuine kind that comes from the mind, not Jarvis Cocker's once-great, but now lost, youthful beauty ;)
This is goddamned FANTASTIC. It's such a great song to begin with, then William Shatner's put a whole new spin on it and now you guys have gone one better. Sublime!
This is so jokes. Awesome job buddy. 0:37 made my day, that face you make is fuckin hilarious, its like a real life "o.0" face. Such a great video, well made, well edited. also you are the god of lip syncing, go give Ashlee Simpson a lesson xD
Ha ha, very cool! And nice job of fighting the temptation to overcomplicate it. You could have screwed up a beautiful piece of music, but you didn't.
great vid mate!youtubed this song as the cover band im in want to do it and this arrangment is better than pulps for guitarists:p of course shatners vocals wont be included!you mimed his parts very well,great vid-cheers
awesome indeed.
