3. That is cool beyond belief

Makes me think of the Futurama episode with Zack sings Lola (Leela).

Thanks. Made my night. Shatner is out there.

4. The video is vastly superior to the MP3

You can really SEE the nuance and feeling in his presentation.

Edit: I suffer from the complete and total inability to type.

5. Some idiot said he did a good job with Common People

The song by Pulp. Oh my god, I listened to it at Borders one day and it is ALMOST as bad as Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. I remember laughing at his acting when I was a kid, but this is even worse.

His version of Mr. Tamborine Man is just as awful too. Imagine getting wealthy on such little talent...

6. Three words: George Dubya Bush

He's wealthier AND the president AND with less talent. Truly the American dream at work...

8. I am SCREAMING laughing!

Does anyone know who the dude in the duds who introduces Shatner?

I may be too young to recognize him.

9. That's Bernie Taupin, I believe.

Bernie Taupin and Elton John wrote about a jillion songs together.
