  • Now that you've mentioned William Shatner's Common People, I remembered his "artsy" interpretation of Elton John's rocketman. I think it was a big time performance, and the song itself was pretty cool, corny, but nice :)

  • Imo the original version (by Pulp)of Common People is wayyyyy better.
  • Some good tunes in there, Jake. Thanks for sharing them. In my humble opinion a few personal tidbits are always nice, when they fit in with what you are talking about.
    Have a great Spring day!
