Please don't remove my clip from CZcams. - Zábava
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! 💕
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.
This has been here for a while, only now just stumbled onto it. I must say, it's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you :)
2024 and I've just seen this, pure genius and so well made!
Thanks mate!
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 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 played at a bar I was at tonight. I had to come find it again. So good
9 years later this remains one of the greatest things to ever hit CZcams
Yes!
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
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!)
Just as good today ! Absolute genius ! and what a show..still AWESOME
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!
Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Be proud.
Thank you! I am proud of it and watch it to have a laugh & a smile.
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.
Every now and then, I have to revisit this song and put it on blast😁
BRILLIANT VISUALS.
Well Done, Lord Ricco.
Thanks :)
This is still one of the best things on CZcams.
Thanks Chino!
Congratulations to the person that put this video together, pure genius...
an award for the CUTTER please!
I found that clip in 2022 &
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.
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 👏
Dear god that's beautiful.
this may be the greatest video ever....thank you so much for putting it together, makes me ridiculously happy
Ditto!
ikr? LOVED it !!!
Right?! 😆😆😆
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!
This wins the Internet on so many levels!
That was glorious.
italian renaissance painting? who needs it? we've got youtube fan videos. brilliant!
This is one of the best internet things I have seen. Thank you sir/madame
You are most welcome
This is the greatest thing ever
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.
Love the original , but this version took it another level. Love it.
this may be the greatest video of all time - really!
First time today....Absolutely Brilliant!! DD
One of the best videos online, top 50 easy.
This has to be a STRONG ass candidate for BEST THING ON CZcams 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.
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 :)
Flawless -
This is magic, people!
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...
This is pure genius.
Lifetime Trekkie, first time watching this, lol. Amazing. Thanks!
Just searching for the official video for this song. Couldn't find it. Found this instead. It's even better!
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.
Absolutely amazing. This is why god made the internet! 😂❤
Still the greatest thing on CZcams. A work of pure genius
Absolutely perfect, brilliant tribute to Trek original series and stunningly well crafted, bravo!
THAT. IS. AWESOME. great work. Landru would be proud.
Peace and Tranquility, friend :)
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!❤love ❤❤❤
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
What a GREAT way to start a day - Thank you!!!
You are most welcome!
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.
Brilliant!!! Love Star Trek TOS and Pulp so this is dreamland... really good work!
my fav song ever
I love coming back around to this video every so often. One of my all time favorites!
That was very well done! Nice selection of clips that really fit with the lyrics. Great job!
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
Пять лет не пересматривал TOS. Пришла пора пересмотреть:)
Gold. More! More! More!
Absolutely brialliant..
Genius...
Bangin’ toon. No doubt… 👌
Best. Shatner. Song. Ever! You made it better with this video!
This is the best fan-made/compilation music video I've ever seen.
This is the best thing I have ever seen on the internet ever.
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!
I think this may be the first thing I've ever commented on here. Pure. Brilliance.
Still the best thing ever...
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!
Pure Gold-pressed Latinum...
Happy 90th, William Shatner
Thanks for fairies and lyrics and all of what is about the magical 60's TV séries
Fookin’ genius
This is why CZcams was invented.
the more I see it, the more I like it. I loved the song but the video also has an incredible production.
Thanks :)
2019 - Still f*cking brilliant
For things like this TOS will never die. ;)
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 PURE GENIUS! YOU DESERVE ALL OF THE MONEY THAT THIS PLANET HAS.
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.
I ❤ this
Commendable.
Simply Awesome.
Love this version of Pulp's song and this video is so much fun too!!!
Utter genius.
I watch this pretty regularly, and I always wonder how intentional it was on op's part that this song kind of feels like a perfect encapsulation of star trek's (especially tos) themes of, like, economic tourism? Like the crew of the enterprise, coming from their utopian society on a mission of curiosity and discovery really are kind of like a rich kid playing at being working class to enrich themselves with authenticity or whatever but then getting way more than they bargained for, and at the same time, encountering all these godly aliens who are even more privileged and bored than they are who use them as playthings for their own entertainment. like that line "and everybody hates a tourist, especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh", one way or the other, isn't that the plot of so many of those old episodes?
anyway great vid 👍
Agreed!
I mean.... hats off to you sir. That was brilliant!
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!
Heard original song while out this evening, had an immediate mid-90's Miller High Life flashback, which led me to finding this. I thank you, sir, for your masterful efforts.
Anything that brings more attention to this great song has my full support. That, and Joe Jackson vocals.
Kudos to the makers of the video. Brilliant
I loved the original,but methinks, as the wheel of life rolls ever on, that this version shall posterity embrace.
Thank you sir.
This is very very good.
Amazing
What a staggering exercise in Editing. From the choice of clips, to the overall rhythm, variety of characters and especially the dead-on lip sync moments. I can't even imagine how long this must have taken. Brilliant - absolutely first rate!
It took me 3 days to complete over a long weekend but I had been listening to the song and thinking about clips for it for a couple of months earlier, then one weekend of ripping DVD's and editing :)
@@LordRicco666 Well, brother... you nailed it!
This was the most wonderful video I have seen in so long
