William Shatner sings again
Actor is serious about new CD -- and gets top-flight help Monday, October 18, 2004 Posted: 9:44 AM EDT (1344 GMT)
William Shatner made his new album, "Has Been," brutally honest.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Just in time for Halloween comes a CD from a guy more likely to inspire a holiday costume than a musical following -- William Shatner.
The one-time James T. Kirk of "Star Trek" fame has released an 11-song collection this month, a follow-up to his 1968 spoken-word debut that garnered such critical infamy it became a camp classic.
So it must be asked: Is this a trick or a treat?
"It's a treat for me," Shatner, 73, said by telephone from Los Angeles, where he was taping an episode of "Boston Legal," his latest TV show. "I hope nobody turns a trick on it."

Music video of Leonard Nimoy singing "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". Complete with dancing hippie chicks and 70's psychedelic clothes. You have been warned, don't blame me if you claw your eyes out, or have to use a hammer to stop the song from being stuck in your head.
Ahhhhhh!!
PEAS DON'T SING, PEAS DON'T SING! (to quote my nephew when I sing).
See post #41...
The one with Henry Rollins ("I Can't Get Behind That") is pretty funny.
"Again"?
He didn't "sing" in the first place -- just slow-motion lyric reading (Rap precursor?)
I had a record of Nimoy's. Memorable lyrics...
"...tin can at my feet,
think I'll kick it down the street,
that's the way to treat a friend...
"Human kindness, overflowing ... and I think it's going to rain today..."
Isn't Shatner's singing a fire hazard? (Rocketman...)
ping
is this a "Just Damn"? Or just a "Holy Moley!"?
LOL.... I hadn't heard that version by Spock. .... umm... you gotta wonder what some people are thinking now and then...
Everybody involved in the making of that video should be hunted down and prosecuted with a fervor generally reserved for aged Nazi war criminals.
Oh yes... That Nimoy-Baggins video is priceless! A buddy and I have treasured that piece for years. Watch Nimoy's finger and hand movements during the "riddled with Gollum" stanza - today's rappers have nothing on him!
Well, gosh.
Thanks.
( I think)
I'm on dial-up, so i will probably forgo the "pleasure".
Maybe he'll join the Vote for Change Tour... That'll get 'em voting for Kerry....
unnnnggghhh
If nothing else, Shatner's singing ought to be labled as "Cruel and Unusual".
I have had the misfortune to hear both Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy's "albums" back when I was in grade school.
