Fabulous fan video for William Shatner's cover of Pulp's "Common People"


In 2004 William Shatner released a sprechstimme album called Has Been, which included a cover version of Pulp’s “Common People,” with backing vocals by Joe Jackson. It’s an excellent rendition, and it inspired LordRicco666 to edit a video to accompany it that consists of clips from Star Trek that are timed and themed to match the rhythm and lyrics. Great job!

From Dangerous Minds:

What makes this edit truly incredible is the attention to detail in matching shots with the lyrical content, even nailing specific lines of the song to lines spoken by Kirk in the show. Check twenty-seven seconds in where “I want to live,” or forty-seven seconds in where “I’ll see what I can do” sync perfectly. The amount of work that went into this is apparent and astounding.
