Default William Shatner - Common People

http://www.nme.com/features/110018.htm

Having heard this all I can say :

is there no beginning to this man's talents?

Not only is he a great advert for corsetry he brings his unique 'talent' to the medium of song. Fantastic.

It's amazing I heard it in the hairdressers the other day. How I was supposed to sit still while that was playing I'll never know.

Its class, without doubt. Actually handles it quite well.

iTunes Link if you've not heard it

Should add that the NME link above contains the full media player version to listen to for those not subscribed to itunes or unwilling (like me) to install the "Itunes detector" the above link connects you to.

As others have said an unmissable cover version.

Cool A few laughs but fooking depressing mostly

Got the albumn, had to as when I heard that on the radio I couldn't stop laughing.

I like NME's take on it "what can only be described as one of the least highly anticipated albums of the year."

Track 6 Together - isnt bad
Track 9 Has Been - Is like a poor Johnny Cash rip off.

Track 10 is a kind of abstract manic track like the dismemberment plan. Most of the lines in this song are amusing.

Most of it is depressing. Guess the title should have given it away 'has been'!

You need to hear his original album. His cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has to be heard to be believed.

Still better than Phil Collins though

I added it for those with iTunes, and it links directly to the track (not a detector) for those with iTunes. In case anyone wanted to buy it.

A link for those who already own the track but would like to have it in MP3 format

www.winmx.com

Works similarly to itunes but has some added benefits.

Its funny. His original album 'The Transformed Man' also contains mr tamborine man. I challenge you to listen to that and not laugh. Can also recommend Lenard Nimoys stuff, some of which is pretty good. Before anyone asks Im not a trekie, just bought some of these when I was a student.

Re: The Collins

Me singing along with Shatner is better than Collins. I am currently re-grouting my bathroom floor, that too sounds better than Collins.

2 cats in a sack being beaten with a cudgel make a better noise than phil collins.

What is this, something that makes you wish he was back out in the far reaches of the galaxy?
