i believe in humanity again.

[frak]

Ok, so I had never seen this before. EVER. But, smercy was talking to me about it, and I was like "whut" and then she tracked it down, and OMG. If you haven't seen William Shatner singing 'Rocket Man', click the play button because good Sir and or Madam, BELIEVE ME, YOU WANNA SEE THIS.

Also, while watching this, remember, YOU ARE NOT HIGH.

And now, for the IM convo of reaction.

smercy: see, back in the 70s
he released an album of spoken word covers of pop songs

xmaidelx: you shit me

smercy: NO

xmaidelx: i feel i should be high as a kite by this time

smercy: MAIDEL

xmaidelx: *INSERT THE NAME OF THE COOLEST CULTURAL SHARING PERSON EVARRRRR*

smercy: THIS IS THE REASON WE HAVE HUMANS
TO APPRECIATE THIS UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT JOY

xmaidelx: OMGGGG

smercy: CHECK OUT HIS SILLY DRESS SUIT

xmaidelx: HE JUST CAME OUT OF HIMSELF.
I CAN'T.
HE JUST.

smercy: ALSO THIS DUDE IS CAPTAIN KIRK

xmaidelx: AND DENNY CRANE.

smercy: BUT ROCKET MAN IS CAPTAIN KIRK

xmaidelx: YES, YES HE IS.

smercy: random tempo change!

xmaidelx: HE'S TOTALLY WEARING A GIRDLE.

smercy: I KNOW
I KNOOOOOW

xmaidelx: THUS THE DEEP BREATHING IN.

smercy: A ROCKET MAN

xmaidelx: OMG, THERE'S THREE.
THERE'S THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

smercy: the third one is so wasted

xmaidelx: HE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

smercy: also, he is doing this COMPLETELY UNIRONICALLY

xmaidelx: PEOPLE ARE CLAPPING.

smercy: WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO IN THE FACE OF SUCH BRILLIANCE

xmaidelx: WEEP.
WEEP THAT I DID NOT DREAM IT UP BEFORE.

WHEN HE SAYS HE'S THE ROCKET MAN, YOU CAN JUST HEAR THE SPARKLES IN HIS VOICE.

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

I GENUINELY HAVE NO ICON TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR HIS MUSICAL MASTERPIECE.

[smercy.livejournal.com]

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO MAKE A FUCKING ICON OF THIS VIDEO LIKE I SAID.

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN WITH THAT.

[smercy.livejournal.com]

YOU WANT TO BEGIN WITH THE THREE SHATS AND THEN MOVE ON TO TWO SHATS.

[nowgold.livejournal.com]

you absolutely can!

[smercy.livejournal.com]

how is he able to convey so much without even singing?

I propose that we recast twilight with the shat playing all three romantic leads!

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

Oh, Maidel. There is an interview somewhere that he did fairly recently, in which he claims that Elton John was totally into his interpretation of "Rock it, man!"

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

That's probably because he boned Elton John to the same rhythm as he "sang" 'Rock it, man!'

[entwashian.livejournal.com]

Ouch, my brain. :(

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

You hadn't seen this???? I am SHOCKED!
Family Guy even did a little homage to it with Stewie. haha.

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

[spriink.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

GIRL.

Why aren't you leaving cultural learnings of Morgan all over the place?

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

I have been neglectful in my duties.

[flatlined.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD

Two minutes into it I thought I could safely drink some water but no, came spewing out of my mouth.

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

I DID THE SAME YESTERDAY.

I WAS SCARED FOR MYSELF. BUT, MY GOD, ANOTHER WILLIAM SHATNER RANDOMLY POPS OUT OF THE FIRST.

[realproof.livejournal.com]

hahahah <3333

yeah, good times.

you do know the epic saga of Kirk and the Mountain, though, I assume.?

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

WHAT EPIC SAGA OF KIRK AND THE MOUNTAIN?

[realproof.livejournal.com]

CAPTAIN KIRK IS CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN. WHY IS HE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN?

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

HE WANTS TO ENVELOPE THE MOUNTAIN?

HE WANTS TO HUG THE MOUNTAIN?

HE WANTS TO MAKE LOVE TO THE MOUNTAIN?

I JUST. OH MY GOD.

[realproof.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE WELCOME

XD

I have an album by him btw., interested? ^^ (this one (http://www.amazon.com/Has-Been-William-Shatner/dp/B0002RUPH4))

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

[realproof.livejournal.com]

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

THIS TOO? Oh, OH Maidel. OH!

Shatner spoken word needs its own land comm. haha.
Team Shatner on the Mount.
Team Rocket Man.
Etc. etc.

[realproof.livejournal.com]

omg, but how would you chooose where to go?

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

It would be difficult. For me it would be a toss up between Team Shatner on the Mount & Team The Real Slim Shady. haha.

[realproof.livejournal.com]

:D

oh dear, I'm watching the first ep of Grandma's House, and I dunno why, but I find the awkwardness amazing and funny and oddly relateable.

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGWTF.

William Shatner, please never, ever change.

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

IF HE DID, HE WOUND'T BE MAGIC.

[afrocurl.livejournal.com]

I was gonna do my work, and then I got (contact) high. ;)

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

I actually believe you're a lil high right now, Roz, NGL.

[afrocurl.livejournal.com]

Not high, just tired as hell. :/

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

[spriink.livejournal.com]

OMG. WHAT THE HELL IS THE CRAP?!?!

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

IT'S THE ORIGINAL ROCK IT MAN.

[spriink.livejournal.com]

[spriink.livejournal.com]

[xmaidelx.livejournal.com]

THERE YOU GO. THE SPOKEN WORD, IS THE NEW SINGING METHOD, KIDDO.

[spriink.livejournal.com]
