Last weekend, I posted a YouTube video of William Shatner singing Elton John's Rocket Man in his--shall we say?--unique fashion. A fellow ScienceBlogger commented and asked if there was a video of Shatner singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I'm not sure that this quite qualifies as what he had in mind, but it's the best (if you could call it that) I could come up with...
LIke, wow, man.

When I read your previous post, I recalled an episode of Fresh Air, when Terri Gross kind of poked fun at him for having recorded Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds on an album. He did not get it. He was entirely serious about his performance.

It's strange was sort of random facts one will remember.
