So, officially one of the funniest things ever... William Shatner's cover of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
Not even kidding. He really did it.
It opens with the most maudlin "doom music" imaginable, and Shatner dramatically recites the poem Spleen by Baudelaire (the English translation, naturally, though I'd love to hear Shatner try and pronounce French!) So funny... and then he gets to Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, which he reads as though it were a very serious poem. (Best lines: either "the girl with... KALEIDOSCOPE... eyes..." or "marshmallow PIES!")
[wipes away tear] Ohhhh goodness.
