William Shatner - "Taxi"

[cooperthewolf]

Dont HATE. appreciHATE.

[dlsms]

Just the best

[renegadeloser]

a very attractive man

[TheTwillerZone]

WOW !

[daven58100]

"I go flying so high when I'm stoned!" How can anyone not like this. It's hysterical.

[TaiChiKnees]

The thing I love about William Shatner is that he has utterly no shame. There are only a few actors with a complete and utter lack of shame who are actually entertaining. He's terrific. You go, Mr. S.!

[PufferBluntman]

I've got some THING inside me! Some... THING on the wing!!!

[chinaqe1]

oh my god

[capitalsho]

HOLLYWOOD HERE I COME! I have decided to produce a remake of Rain Main, This time replacing Dustin Hoffman with William Shatner and replacing Tom Cruise with Christopher Walken! Anyone want to finance my production?

[capitalsho]

Jesus! I thought his Rocket Man was weird but this. THIS!

[Titan752]

Where does this guy's mind wander off to when he convinces himself that people actually want to hear this crap? He said it himself..."I really can't sing!"

And as far as 'moving an audience...'

he could move them out of the theater faster than an electrical fire could!

[berlygirl123]

This almost hurts to watch it.  I love William Shatner but this is awful.

[yourmothaq]

Strangely enough.....I like it. A lot.

[Binford8100]

the best non-singer ever

[Goklayeh]

Genius....Pure Genius.

[Victorprossartcom]

You're an actor, Jim, not a singer!

[Chthon128]

God help us all, that our ego's should ever propel us to such an embarrassing spectacle?

Jim......Jim!......

[PACIFICA2009]

what makes these so great is how dramatic he is in all of them. even though (as he admits here in this clip) he cant carry a tune, he still gets across the point

[fehlrock]

The GREATEST ACTOR that EVER performed ! Dont HATE ! APPRECIATE.

[paxpaul]

After seeing and, sadly, hearing George Takei perform "On the Road Again" recently, I think I will never again make fun of Shatner. By comparison, the Shat is Elvis! (In reality, he's terrible, but he admits it! That's the fun of Shatner: he knows himself and his qualities and has fun anyway.) Check out "Common People" if you haven't already; it's the only Shat song I actually enjoy listening to.

[rexbarreto]

hundred times better than nick cave, for sure

[PumpkinPuffer]

The best song he sang was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the beatles.

[EatMySHred24]

Im sure the audience was more touched by his collar... Wait a min, he's taklin bout tokin... awesome.. I've not seen this since I was a kid, I don't think I knew what "stoned" meant.. All hail the great Capt Kirk..

[aprilnorcross]

"...not what this songs about.."

shatner is king.

[mrbob424]

boy he sucks!

I'm shocked that audiences didn't find this uproarious in the 70's. I guess there's some truth in the axiom: tragedy + time = comedy.

[gaIIery]

Yes, it shows how me-oriented everyone was in the 1970's that the audience didn't laugh out loud. Though Shatner now claims performances like this were done in fun, it sure looks like he really thinks he's being profound- which makes it twice as funny.

[CoffeeAchiever]

Yes, a me-cloud of coke, est, and soft-ballad key parties that blinded bellbottomers to even the most garish display of douchebaggery the 20th century had ever been confronted with.

[koinshaku]

What can one say but 'Shatner'?

[MissMaiden79]

I...would be...EMBARRASSED and proud...if...I was...his wife.

[MissMaiden79]

I would be both embarrassed and proud if I was his wife. God the man is great!

[groeslon]

ten times better than nick cave

[56BUICKRiviera]

Thats the good stuff

[ingobousa]

william shatner is hardcore ..and has a nice shirt!

[Mopem]

fucking hippie!!

[rogeroverclarence]

I never know if he's being funny, sarcastic, tragic, sad,  mad, baffled, serious.. or what when he's performing.

[MrBugbear]

i think it all of the above.

[gcallard]

Popcorn anyone?

[detritus73]

good lord, i love william shatner's singing

[PAINTANK]

The man is a genius.
