so.there.we.were

so there we were …. driving toward Scottsbluff, NE for work purposes (something else i don’t want to talk about…) in a rental car that had Sirius satellite radio. lo and behold, on the screen appears the name William Shatner with the song title Common People … at first i was afraid, i was petrified, but as the song progressed i realized that i was listening to possibly one of the best worst songs of my lifetime. the spoken word of William Shatner over a sort of electronic indie rock sound with the requiste beeps and whirrs befit of a starship commander. as the first chorus breaks in, the transition is good enough to make you wonder if there is any possible way that William Shatner is actually singing, but by the second verse you realize that it just can’t be … and it’s not. a little disappointing, but still riveting in every aspect.

apparently, the song has been around for a while but i have just now discovered it and wish to share it with you good people (although judging by my empty comments section, i think i’m sharing with just myself…)
