Page 1 of william shatner covers `common people`

Just had to post straight away. Jonathon Ross has just played William Shatner`s cover of Pulp`s `Common People` and its fab!! Can`t believe it!
(Yes, I listen to Radio 2)

(because it makes me sound nice and cute)

Yes, I heard that a few days ago on XFM. DJ was going on about how much he laughed when he first heard it etc, but mainly it reminded me what a cracker of a song it is anyway - rather sad.

...And that wasn`t the Shatster doing all the "proper" singing, was it?

The album is out soon.Samples at the official website

ROFL - Just like his "Lucy in the sky with diamonds", only with a actual attempt at "singing" instead of presenting it as a more usual soliloquy, what brown nosing idiot told him he could sing?

I do believe the `proper` singing was Joe Jackson
