sent me a link to the most horrible thing I've ever seen on the internets. This is way worse than the
, which at least was funny. No, this one is so horrible I almost want to cancel my internet service and never go online again. Cuz if that's what the internets have come to, if that's the kind of awfulness we are now able to witness at the click of a button -- I mean the kind of stuff that should have been burned, buried and forgotten, never to see the light of day ever again, where it will damage the eyes and ears and brains of millions of innocent unsuspecting people -- well then I think this whole internets thing has gone too far.

I tried to watch that twice today, and I couldn't make it all the way through either time. When the second Shatner shows up, my mind recoils in horror. Oh, the humanity!

Absolutely! What they don't show in the video is Bernie Taupin attempting to hang himself backstage.

Well, it's not at the level of Stewie's rendition, but still, I liked it. The man is seriously underrated as an artist.

KG, I think you misspelled "undertalented." But thank you for the hint about Stewie's version, which can be found
here.

The dog gave a better performance, and was more believable...

I get that there are many important things to take from this video, but am I the only one who noticed that he wasn't inhaling from the cigarette? He was CLEARLY faking it -- all the smoke came out the second he opened his mouth.
What a wuss. If you can't smoke, don't fucking pretend you're smoking.

I see this as a parody to poetry reading beatniks, though he is a tad too self-effacing.
Notice the barely contained smirks at the end "And I think its going to be a long, long time."
To balance this spoof out, see if you can view the Twilight Zone that featured Shat as a mental patient coming home on a plane, who witnesses something going on with one of the engines...

When they started the 3-part Shatner harmony I was stunned beyond belief.

lol, Law Fairy. Like Sinatra, many great singers don't inhale.

Love it or hate it I suppose. It's self parody of a sort that only people with a collosal ego seem to pull off effectively.
Count me among his fans despite his huge flaws.
