William Shatner sings Elton John and Bernie Taupin's "Rocket Man" at the 1978 Science Fiction Awards show. Shatner is introduced by Taupin.

  • This the very ...

    This the very definition of surreal. "Corny" and "cheesy" are left light years behind by this Olympian monument to the staggering obliviousness of just one man.

    Ironically, Stewie Griffin's take-off of this is far, far better! Shatner just sounds bored. It's almost as though he's reading the words for the first time.

    Back in the day?
    I enjoy star trek as well but if you've heard the Back and forth between him and J.J Abrams, i.e "i wa
    ted to be in the film" "I wrote you a part" "no you didn't" etc etc and his reponse to George Takie not inviting him to his wedding, i.e "he didn't invite me i wanted to go" "i wrote him an invite, he never rsvped" "no you didn't" etc etc you'll see he pretty much still is an "arrogant, pretentious,over-acting asshole"

    Well, all I can say, a different type of mind induction being induced from Mr Shatner!

  • The Family Guy ...

    The Family Guy version of this is hilarious, but this is even funnier because Shater was doing this seriously. I'm surprized that the audience did'nt laugh him off the stage.

    This just shows what a arrogant, pretentious,over-acting asshole Shatner was back in the day, and I'm a big Star Trek fan. Still I enjoyed the video.
