Seriously, this is very sharp, although I agree with other posters that you'd have a lot more success if you simply changed the title to reflect that it's not actually the Shat. Have you considered marketing bumper stickers in the classic Star Trek font with your burning question, "What Would Shattner Do?"
@Artdecovampire Thanks! I had a blast putting this together. You might enjoy this new creation, Shatner singing The Ballad of Dwight Fry by Alice Cooper
I love the Shatman. I love this. Its curiously good. The fact this exist makes Shatner a musical form all on his own. I've heard stuff like this in jazz clubs. I am beginning to think that in a post ironic world the Shatman will ge the recognition he deserves. Proving the world is mad, not the shatman. I'm off to buy the transformed man!
@TheOwl And the point is the video is called 'William Shatner Sings - I Can't Get No Satisfaction '
that is a misrepresentation of william shatner and because of the misrepresentation act of 1967 this means that this video is breaking the law and youtube should take it down.
But i wont report you because your singing isnt that bad allthough it isnt as good as the shatner
It hurts my ears to listen to. But I can't really hear it over my own laughter. So damn funny! The best part is that he has to slow down the song so he can actually sing to it.
I..can't..get...no...I...can't ...get...no.......SATISFACTION! Especially from Shatner's lousy attempt at singing.....or,whatever it is that he believes he is trying to do... and fails miserably at!
You should check out the Residents cover of this song. Your version sounds like something in between, with the catchiness of the original and weirdness of the Residents version. :D
Hi, forgot if I'd replied to this yet! loved the track thanbks very much. I really think its actually good if shatner did it...you should do an album worth of this stuff!
Bad job
