Thanks everyone for their appreciation of my clip :) It was fun to make and still fun to watch!
this video is AWESOME ! must've taken a long time b/c the clips & music & lyrics are perfectly blended .... fantastic job !!!!
i JUST FOUND IT ,WATCHED 3 TIME IN A ROW ..........THE BEST ..THANK'S !
Amazing cover by The Shat, and amazing mash-up by you! Win-win!
This is sublime, perfect. A true tribute to the Shat.
Well done!!! That must have taken a very long time to do!! Loved it! 💕
2024 and I've just seen this, pure genius and so well made!
Thanks mate!
So glad you're still reading comments. Frankly, this is the peak of western civilization. Everything since is just aftermath.
Some people have way too much time on their hands. Which is why we have awesome things like this. :)
imagine what we'd get if we just paid creative people to be creative, instead of needing everything to be a commercial success
I LOVE this song,so relevant
Hilarious. Nailed the tone! I would love to meet the creative genius behind this.
The best cover version of any song ever, and I state this without the faintest trace of irony.
Agreed - for some reason it just works, although "Jackson and Shatner" should have the same impact as "bacon and soap". Still.....
Truth!
I won’t argue it’s bloody awesome
It's definitely Shatner's best cover, and he has some good ones.
However, Devo's cover of "Hey Hey, My My" with Neil Young on supplemental guitar is the greatest moment in early eighties music. It's up on YT now. If it isn't 9 minutes, it's not the right video.
This was better than the last 3 Star Wars movies, and maybe the last 6.
Well that was perfect.
Thanks Greg, Appreciate it!

I'd give anything to see Shatner , Jackson and the rest of this group do this live
Check out dailymotion
This has been here for a while, only now just stumbled onto it. I must say, it's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you :)
Every now and then, I have to revisit this song and put it on blast😁
9 years later this remains one of the greatest things to ever hit RUclips
Yes!
Is there a Nobel for best video of all time? Consider yourself nominated.
Awwwwwwwwwwww.. thanks :)
Nearly ten years old, and I've only seen this for the first time today. Oh well, better late than never. LordRicco666, whoever you are and whether or not you still exist, please know: this is damn beautiful. Funny, slick, gorgeously assembled, and sometimes just wicked smart (Uhura in front of the monitor, relearning everything after Nomad wiped her brain in "The Changeling," in time with "pretend you never went to school"? Oh man!). Bravo, sir, bravo!
Thank you so much sir! and yes I still exist 👍
I'm also late to the party and found this after doing some recent Shatner viewing. The editing on the video is fantastic and although I've known this great Cocker Shatner performance for a long time it's been a real treat to see these pictures too.
For someone that is almost 10 years old, you have a wonderful lexicon and even better taste. 👍
Thank you!
I knew virtually all of the episodes involved, but drew a blank with Uhura's scene
@@johnmccaffrey280 If you are, indeed, LordRicco666, then may I add my thanks, as well!
This is "internet-best of" type of stuff (that's certainly true for all of the many fans of the original Star Trek!)
Well..he Shatnered the hell out of that video. It proves there is still some good on this planet if you look hard enough. Well done mate!
This is FANTASTIC! I made a William Shatner sing-acting video and someone linked me to this one. I doubt I would have discovered this otherwise. Now all the time I invested is worth it.
Awww awesome, please send me the link if you have it of you singing it
This has to be a STRONG ass candidate for BEST THING ON RUclips EVER!
Truly inspired genius!
How ever did you turn a Shatner cover of a 90's Brit rock class war anthem into a touchingly hilarious tribute to OG Trek?
You FOUND a way!
🖖LLAP
Awww. Thanks :) The clip was spoken word/video so the clip had to match the lyrics of the song so in some ways all it took was meticulous editing and a trekker knowledge of Star Trek but yes wanted to inject humour too :)
But in some ways it's like Michelangelo said "The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material."
@@LordRicco666Spoken like a true genius, my friend! And it looks like you used bits from ALL the TOS' episodes, which is even more impressive.
Guys, I literally do not know another human that would have loved this. Its really nice to know you guys are out there, loving this stuff with me.
BRILLIANT VISUALS.
Well Done, Lord Ricco.
Thanks :)
I’m here because Bill Shatner travels to space this week, and I couldn’t think of a better video to share on this momentous occasion.
As a fan of Pulp, this song, Star Trek and of course, William Shatner, This was Tremendous ! Great job.
You can tell so very well from the pairing of the scenes with the lyrics that the creator is a huge Trek fan andTOSser 👏
Old friend Alex Proyas (Director, The Crow, Dark City) has just been mesmerized by this today♥♥♥
Thanks for brightening Alex's day all these years later.
Still gets better and funnier with every viewing - once again, thank you, , thank you......
I keep watching it too! lol :) it is a fun watch and particularly like the film reel slide bit
Love the original , but this version took it another level. Love it.
Congratulations to the person that put this video together, pure genius...
I found that clip in 2022 &
an award for the CUTTER please!
This has to be the best William Shatner themed fan-made video out there. That's frankly saying a lot!
Nah, the Kirk/Spock slash "Closer" video is the best. I made a YT account because they made that adult restricted.
@@Bacopa68 Got link? I looked at your channel but couldn't find it.
@@billmilligan7272 Sorry, I meant I signed up to YT because the video was age restricted. Just look up Closer Kirk Spock.
This played at a bar I was at tonight. I had to come find it again. So good
Just as good today ! Absolute genius ! and what a show..still AWESOME
Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Be proud.
Thank you! I am proud of it and watch it to have a laugh & a smile.
This is still one of the best things on RUclips.
Thanks Chino!
Happy 91st birthday the honorable william Shatner.this version of this song is alot better than the original.live long and prosper or give me some of that prosper.lol!
Dear god that's beautiful.
Still the greatest thing on RUclips. A work of pure genius
I loved the original,but methinks, as the wheel of life rolls ever on, that this version shall posterity embrace.
Thank you sir.
this may be the greatest video ever....thank you so much for putting it together, makes me ridiculously happy
Ditto!
ikr? LOVED it !!!
Right?! 😆😆😆
I love coming back around to this video every so often. One of my all time favorites!
I'd like to think that Bill Shatner has seen this!
As viewers would have noticed, I went with the whole spoken word to video clip approach and I think he'd approve
italian renaissance painting? who needs it? we've got youtube fan videos. brilliant!
my fav song ever
A genuine Labour of Love, well done Lord Ricco.
Thanks mate! It certainly was, I wish I had time to do others!
Indeed it was! Thanks
Great video... gotta mention that Joe Jackson duets on this with Shatner for the actual singing. They both do amazing, with Ben Folds providing the music. So many stars...
That was glorious.
This is the greatest thing ever
Absolutely brialliant..
This wins the Internet on so many levels!
This video has extremely high re-watchability for me. Thank you (to the creator). I love this version of "Common People" by Shatner and Joe Jackson (and Ben Folds).
Thanks :)
You are most welcome! I do rewatch it myself on occasion as it is just upbeat, fun and humorous
Flawless -
Anything that brings more attention to this great song has my full support. That, and Joe Jackson vocals.
Just searching for the official video for this song. Couldn't find it. Found this instead. It's even better!
I love everything about this: Star Trek, Shatner, Pulp. Bravo! ❤
2019 - Still f*cking brilliant
For things like this TOS will never die. ;)
This is a masterpiece. A work of art. 🙌💯 perfect
Absolutely brilliant,i first heard this version at our local cinema during the intermission,could not believe it I had to ask what version it was,and now with the scenes as well awesome.
One of the best videos online, top 50 easy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - I haven't laughed this long and this loud for ages. The amount of effort and work required is evident - full marks.
Consider this.... 11, ELEVEN years ago!!!!!!!
Thank you sir :)
@@Atheist7Indeed! I have been quite absent in new content although I do have a Breaking Bad clip spoken word/video in mind
@@LordRicco666What I meant..... Your video is of IMMENSE quality, compared to computers that were available back then.
Must have taken WEEKS if not a couple months of computing time to do.
It took me 3 years to come across this vid, but I'm so glad I did. Kirk taking Edith Keeler to a supermarket, Operation: Annihilate roaches, Kirok and Trelane as tourists….too damn perfect. Thanks for putting this together!
This is the best fan-made/compilation music video I've ever seen.
THAT. IS. AWESOME. great work. Landru would be proud.
Peace and Tranquility, friend :)
This is magic, people!
Happy 90th, William Shatner
William Shatner is an excellent singer.
I thought I couldn't love this cover more, but I was wrong.
Great editing- thanks for making this!
Agree! I love it when Joe Jackson blasts in. And Shat has the right amount of anger to punk it up. This video makes it even better!
No problems, glad you enjoyed it. Sorry for the long delay in replying I'm quite inactive due to work!
2023👍👍👍
Genius...
this may be the greatest video of all time - really!
This is one of the best internet things I have seen. Thank you sir/madame
You are most welcome
Fookin’ genius
Absolutely perfect, brilliant tribute to Trek original series and stunningly well crafted, bravo!
I don't know Star Trek, but damn I want to watch it now !
Fucking brilliant.
Holy mallolies!!!! That sir, is ART!!!
Pure Gold-pressed Latinum...
I think this may be the first thing I've ever commented on here. Pure. Brilliance.
THIS IS PURE GENIUS! YOU DESERVE ALL OF THE MONEY THAT THIS PLANET HAS.
My mind was blown the first time I heard this song a few years ago and you had to go and take it to a-whole-nother level. Well done
the more I see it, the more I like it. I loved the song but the video also has an incredible production.
Thanks :)
Really well done. It must have been a lot of fun to make but also hard work. Kudos for finding so many scenes to match the song lyrics, often in comic fashion. Bravo!
A big thankyou to Bill Shatner and Joe Jackson for this but... Lord Ricco, please take a bow! Such a funny, upbeat and a feel good video. It's great to be 62 yrs old and remember the old Star Trek and Jackson's great voice and the bass playing from my earlier days. Friday night, I often dance around the living room with this clip at full blast.😀😀😀😀😀. PS...Does anybody know how to stick the leg back onto a coffee table?🤭
Still the best thing ever...
When history looks back at the moment music peaked...this will be that moment ;)
This is not a video, this is ART.
Thanks I really appreciate that :)
Brillant, just fucking Brillant!
Thank You for sharing your genius with the world. We are genuflecting in front of you to shout your amazingness to all.
2019 - Still f*cking brilliant
This is why RUclips was invented.
For things like this TOS will never die. ;)
Most people think, that Shatner was an actor first and then started to sing, but they're wrong. In truth he made this song first, traveled back in time, dropped the music sheet to the Pulp guys and then made the Star Trek series and secretly put in the scenes for this video. Everything else makes no sense.
I can see that.... I can see that being...... it's JAMES, f'n T. KIRK!!!!!
Bangin’ toon. No doubt… 👌
First time today....Absolutely Brilliant!! DD
I did not think it was possible for this song to get any better. This video proved me wrong. Well done! and now...it's back to Christmas songs!
Lifetime Trekkie, first time watching this, lol. Amazing. Thanks!
This is the most entertaining thing that I have ever seen.
I sincerely mean that.
Thanks mate, I'm a fan of it too. Very proud of it and it makes me smile :)
Video is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.
The only thing I would change is to add an mage of "Nomad" in the gallery of Star Trek villains
Best. Shatner. Song. Ever! You made it better with this video!
Thanks for fairies and lyrics and all of what is about the magical 60's TV séries
Love this version of Pulp's song and this video is so much fun too!!!
From a great album (Has Been). I listened to it today on the train. Lots of emotion.
Shatner singing "I can't get behind a fat ass" is one of the greatest moments in the history of recorded audio entertainment.
Utter genius.
Brilliant!!! Love Star Trek TOS and Pulp so this is dreamland... really good work!
