I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF YOU WERE LITERALLY LIVING IN A POWDER KEG, THE LAST THING YOU SHOULD BE DOING IS GIVING OFF SPARKS, BUT THAT IS ME: Combine the Taiwanese Susan Boyle with Captain Kirk and the greatest pop song of the 20th Century and the results, predictably, are magical.
I sat here staring at this screen for 10 minutes trying to come up with something either funny or pithy to say. Suffice it to say, the video speaks for itself, and I cannot add a thing.
ReplyDeleteAs I said on Facebook, if you do not like this, you are both a communist and (however implausibly) a Nazi.
ReplyDeleteI do like this (not a commie! or a Nazi!), but my favorite "Heart" is still the literal video version. Ninjas!

There is no bad Heart. Anything involving this song automatically rules (with the exception of perhaps scoring a dog fighting video).
ReplyDeleteA dog fighting video scored to Total Eclipse of the Heart may not strictly rule, but it is definitely constitutionally protected speech!
ReplyDeleteStopped the tape at 45 seconds and decided I'm OK being a commie nazi if I never have to listen to the rest. Maybe that's not fair, let me try a few more seconds. Nope. Can't handle this. Now if Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covered this, that would be awesome. Where do I go to get my Che Guevara with a Hitler mustache t-shirt?
ReplyDeleteKurt, from Glee, could handle this song. Though after he hit the falsetto in one of the Madonna numbers I immediately thought they need to give that kid some Bronski Beat.
Shatner is a god. I worship at his altar.
ReplyDeleteI'm playing Hitler vs Stalin and I'm so confused. OTOH, no confusion when it comes to gunning down bears.
ReplyDeleteI got a little farther, but sign me up for the Commie Nazi party, too. You can rest easy knowing that McBain will eventually defeat me.
ReplyDeleteAs with all things Shatnerian, it's not the VIDEO that's awesome, it's the CONCEPT.
ReplyDelete"Shatnerian" is my new adjective of choice.
