When it comes to cheese, Bill Shatner is King Cheddar! (hmm, all this talk of cheese is getting me hungry...)

I have heard many of Shatner's attempts at singing. I have never heard the guy even try to produce a singing voice. I don't know if he is even capable of doing it.

Sweat much, Shat?

Man, does it get funky after 4:20 in.

I see why Taupin said this was Shatner's "interpretation" of the song...

I've seen part of this before, but I still can't believe that 1) this exists, 2) Bernie Taupin witnessed it first-hand, 3) that they were NOT exaggerating on Family Guy, and 4) they allowed Shatner to do anything with music after The Transformed Man...

Okay, first the Life Day clip...now the Rocket Man clip...what's going to be the next disturbing scifi-related clip?

So, who is the cross-eyed lady announcer?

That is Karen Black. She was in a number of things in the 70's...none of which come to mind right now. ;-)

Karen Black was in Trilogy of Terror, and several low budget cheesy horror flicks. She was most recently seen as Mama Firefly in House of 1000 Corpses; and she's still just as crosseyed today.

Karen Black's most memorable movie IMO was 1988's "The Invisible Kid".A very awful movie,however,it feature the one highlight in that movie,it's when Chynna Phillips ("Wlison Phillips") drank some chemical that turned her invisible and she begins undressing,and that's when Karen Black walked in her son's room,when the unseen teenage girl was at the time.

Man, what is there to say about William Shatner's "singing"? Several years ago, my mom & I were at a rummage sale, where somebody was trying to sell a Telly Savalas LP. I showed it to my mom, who said, "I didn't know that Kojak could sing" The guy said, "Actually, he can't. He's worse than William Shatner" LOL

I see Emmanuel Lewis (Webster) in the last take.

That video was from yesterday. They got the title and video mixed up. In 1959 Ron was a child then, probably not an actor yet.

The voiceover sounds like George Fenneman.

He will be missed.

Comment posted in WMAQ Channel 5 - Off the Wall (Opening & Break, 1977) by FieldGal44 on Wednesday, September 26th, 2018 at 7:04pm CT

Off the Wall was just one of four college-themed sitcoms that sank over the next two years, though this one was a year before Animal House. In 1979, AH ripoffs Brothers & Sisters, Delta House, and Co-Ed Fever would all bomb, with the latter lasting a whopping single episode like this stinker.

Comment posted in WGN Channel 9 - "Comedy Tonight!" (Promo, 1979) by FieldGal44 on Tuesday, September 25th, 2018 at 2:17pm CT

"Comedy Tonight" was adapted for a Stove Top commercial in 1986.
