Friday, June 27th, 2008--by Stephen SchleicherBecause it is one of my favorite Shatner tunes, and I can’t get it out of my head.
Wanna see Archie’s take? You know where to click (and you know you want to).

Some days I feel just like a code monkey, so I’m throwing this Jonathan Coulton gem up for you.
Last week we featured the great William Shatner in our Friday Sing-a-Long. To keep the haters at bay, we decided to let Lenard Nimoy join in the fun.
Hey, isn’t that Erin Gray of Buck Rogers fame?
You asked for it. You referenced it. You know you want to sing along with it.
ROCKET MAN!
Yes, another Ookla the Mok selection from their 1998 album Super Secret. If you listen carefully you’ll notice this track is used as the intro to the Major Spoilers Podcast.
The year was 1991. The group; Crash Test Dummies. The song; The Superman Song. The point? Well Superman didn’t get into this job to make money - he just did what he thought was best. Oh, and there is something about Tarzan in there too.
Whenever I hear this song, it is stuck in my head for days. DAYS I TELL YOU! OH THE MADNESS.
Enjoy ;)
What the hell is that computer saying? Lyrics after the jump.
In honor of Skrullapalooza week (that’s Secret Invasion week for you not on the Major Spoilers Funny Wagon)!
Yes, we reviewed the album on a recent Major Spoilers Podcast, now you can experience the joy, humor, and kick-assishness that is Ookla the Mok and their song Super Skrull.
Deaf Pedestrians sing It’s Good to be a Geek. Sing along, won’t you?
Your Friday Sing-a-long
If you haven’t heard William Shatner belt out Pulp’s Common People, then I feel sorry for you my friend. Fortunately, through the magic of YouTube, there are plenty of versions available including this custom video (I actually prefer Shat’s version).
Now take it a step further and put those words into the mouth’s of Archie and his gang and you get this brilliant piece of humor from Chris’s Invincible Super-Blog.

You really need to see the entire mash-up.
Damn you Chris! Now everytime I read Archie, Shatner will be in my head.
