From the 2002 album 'Has Been'. A great album, by the way.

  • Thanks for expressing your sophisticated opinion.

  • This version is better because Joe Jackson sings the heck out of the backing vocals, Shatner is great too, but without Jackson, it is just OK.

  • The entire album is wonderful and, yes, ironic as hell. Long live The Shat!

  • @cheaptrickcharlie Joe Jackson adds the "oomph" that complements Shatner's street voice (which is awesome!)!!!!

  • Love the vid, thanks!

  • fuckin awesome!

  • @DonH9992 Exactly... he's got the sneering contempt for the fatuous pretenders down.

  • I actually like this version better than Pulp's. Shatner brings more anti-upper-class anger than you hear in the original. Ben and Joe supply the exclamation points.

  • love pulp and i love shatners tongue in cheek versions of songs.

  • There is little point in comparing an original creation to a copy. They are completely different things.

    If this song means something to you - you have Jarvis to thank for that - and nobody else can ever change that fact If the song doesn't mean anything to you - then what's the point in getting upset about it ?

    No Klingons on Jarvis - he's got a very sharp sense of humour .
