柯克船长的歌唱生涯

                
                
刚在读篇William Shatner专访，才晓得老船长将有新专辑面世，名字吊得很——《Seeking Major Tom》，鲍伊叔的粉丝会心一笑吧
顺带哥了一下，发现船长的歌唱生涯丰富到有条足够长的维基条文，可乐之处着实不少
                
                
Shatner的头张专辑叫《变形金刚人》（The Transformed Man）
收入的全是说唱版流行金曲翻唱
牛B之处在于他把莎士比亚诗与歌词朗诵穿插在一起
自以为很酷，迎来的是全人类的嘲弄
但也正是嘲弄给了专辑坎普生命力
早在1993年互联网蒙昧时期就有人做了“詹姆斯T柯克船长卡拉OK”页面播放专辑片段
专辑里翻版的《Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds》成了传奇
常被人在讨论史上最烂演唱时提及
Shatner说他的演绎是在模仿LSD体验
乔治克鲁尼把这首歌选入了他的荒岛专辑
原因不是太好听，而是能激起他逃离荒岛的欲望
“一听到这首歌，你就会心起把腿挖空做成独木舟逃离小岛的念头”
2003年，《Music Choice》的投票中，Shatner这版被评为史上最烂beatles翻唱
之后的糗事还有大把，有兴趣的可以好好读一下维基词条
说回到这张新专《Seeking Major Tom》
同样不简单
号称是张太空金属概念专辑

对了，老头这两天还有桩新闻——被踢出了google+——原因是哥以为他是冒牌货
愤愤的他发了条推：
“柯克呼叫企业号，我被Google+机器恶人冰冻，请联系脸书友人，激光枪调试到位，随时准备开火”
结果立马被哥请了回去
噢，还有个好玩的忘提了
他的老搭档Spock在这方面也不甘人后
Nimoy翻唱的"If I Had a Hammer"和童谣"比尔博巴金斯之歌"（The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins）同被认为是坎普经典
经典到MCA干脆发了张二人合集精选《Spaced Out: The Very Best of Leonard Nimoy & William Shatner》。。。
