it’s friday. time for a music comparison, with the same song sung by two vocal heavyweights. the song? ‘It Was A Very Good Year‘ (links to lyrics). the singers? only the finest. frank ‘chairman of the board’ sinatra VS william ‘james t kirk’ shatner. for mr. francis albert sinatra, the song comes from his great 4-disc complilation album the reprise collection. for bill shatner, the song is one track from his experimental album titled the transformed man. powerful stuff, yes. but who will win? i leave that for you to decide (in the comments, if you please)…
hammering another nail in the spoken word coffin of self expression comes a lethal, full force, wide-collared dose of 1970’s william shatner acting/singing ‘Taxi’. serious. powerful. enlightening. watching this, i realize this is how i must come across to my friends when I smoke a lot of pot & get really high. they may actually be having a conversation, but i just keep going on & on about a taxi ride or my own random tirade like some guy at a bus stop talking to pigeons. wow. i see my future in this youtube clip. therefore, it is good.
this is dumb - but that’s why i like it. Shatner VS Heston! short but funny. i think this battle has been raging in the back of everyones mind for some time now. it’s nice to see it someone taking the time to bring it up. who will win? Charleton Heston: Said “damned” and “ape” in the same sentence (that’s one point for Heston). William Shatner: Played a cop named “Hooker” (that’s one point for Shatner).
such good times.
