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.
