Friday Tradition!

[theweaselking]

kjn called my bluff on not having done this in a while, and so, for the first time in months, Friday Tradition happens on a Friday.

And since I've been called out, I give you William Shatner covering Pulp's "Common People".

EDIT:
lafnjackproves himself entirely worthy, with this:

Actually, I'd been planning to start posting Caramba for a while, but I didn't get permission from the person digitalising it until a few days ago. You were just a handy excuse.

Your explanation is much less fun than my explanation!

And now I have inflicted Shatner ON THE WORLD!

[kjn]

He already has inflicted himself, I believe. Or at least Gene Roddenberry has.

But that's great. Michael Tretow's been inflicting himself on the world on an even greater scale.

I hate you.

You'll love this!

That's the most awesome YouTube thing I've seen in WEEKS.

You live a sad, bleak YouTube life, young one.

Ow, my brain.

It's only slightly more surreal than the original video.

Holy cow.

I'm torn between "Brilliant!" and "Oh gawd, my ears". But then, I appear to be in the minority of people who think Shatner is hilarious, especially when he's not taking himself seriously. I know I'm odd, I am at peace with it.

You really need Cake's cover of War Pigs.

I've got that one. I was planning to use it soon, but K-J's challenge meant the Shatner had to come out.

OMG! Giev plz!

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'll make a note to myself, and stick that up tonight.

Oh, I dunno. His cover of "Mr. Tamborine Man" is trumped only by Nimoy's "If I Had a Hammer."

Common People is an awesome song - and I actually like Shatner's, er, declamation of it.
