And I Hope It's Gonna Be A Long Long Time...

I had heard about this clip of Shatner covering Elton John's Rocket Man, and I saw it parodied on Family Guy a few months back. I found it. I watched it. Wow. Just.... that was more ...I can't find words... just wow. Like a car crash or a celebrity marriage: you can't help but watch. I can't tell what's scarier, his singing or the fact he's doing this straight and not for laughs. He got so much better when he started to take himself less seriously and Ben Folds produced that cover of Common People by Pulp last year.
