Rocket Mannequin

Back in that magic year of 1978, one of our national treasures, William Shatner, performed a ruffled-tuxedo, cigarette-dangling, spoken word rendition of Elton John's "Rocket Man" for a live audience at the Science Fiction Film Awards, introduced by lyricist Bernie Taupin. It was one of the ages.

And just a few years ago, the geniuses behind "Family Guy" worked in a brilliant homage as performed by newborn Stewie. Thanks to GorillaMask, you can now see them both back-to-back.

Pure genius. Pure Shatner
