The backing singers should know better ! Took me ten minutes to write this after watching the video, as I was pissing myself laughing too much to concentrate on typing........
Bill's become a parody of himself, and he knows it. That's ok, he's 80 and still working, probably harder then most people in the business. He never puts these things out to be serious. At best its great for a laugh, and will probably sell really well.
This man scares the hell out of me, he belongs in a freakin rubber room!!!! He makes Hannibal Lecter seem like Kermit the Frog. God help us all if he doesn't get his meds in on time.
god damn this is the perfect example on how such losers can ruin songs and become famous. come on theres so many talented musicians that deserve way more attention than this fake musician...
sorry i am a big startrek fan and i love william as actor but this sorry especially at 1:21 I couldn't stop lauching. had to play this back over and over....
To all the haters I say this. If that two bit punk bitch Pink can cover this song, then why the hell can't Captain f'n Kirk also do it? Shatner is awesome.
I am in tears... With one click, twenty-two thousand plus have just witnessed PERFECTION. A live performance of this would make our existence complete.
Nothing new for Shatner folks. In the 80s he was doing lots of funny covers in the Golden Throats series as was Nimoy and many other actors that could not sing for shit but had us laughing their asses off as they tried.
I genuinely expected a better interpretation from the Shat! I think this is perhaps even worse then the Bad News version. Although that was supposed to be satire...
Anyone seriously knocking this is an idiot. Shatner knows he can't sing or carry a tune, he knows it's bad. We know it and he knows we know it. That isn't the point. He's into it and enjoying it. The man is a fucking legend.
wtf? this is horrible... why would he do this? I dont get people saying its so bad it's good. it's just bad. It's like the song with all the song taken out.
I would love to hear Shatner sing Star Trek Bohemian Rhapsody.
