I'd never heard Shatner do "Mr. Tambourine Man"... There is not enough ear bleach on the planet to ever free me from the horror of hearing Shatner torturing "Mr. Tambourine Man".
A good few years ago as a joke, I bought my friend the Shatner Album 'Has Been' for his birthday. And as a group who got together on Thursdays to pain models, watch movies and eat KFC, we agreed to listen to it. In its entirity.
We was expecting it to be like Mr Tambourine Man, or The Ballard of Bilbo Baggins. IE weapons grade terrible.
But. In all honesty, it was actually rather good. Oh he can't sing, he talks, but..oddly enough, it works. And it became a thing we'd always do, if we was painting, on came that bloody album. or it would find its way into a car to go on the CD player. Which lead to us at one point, in my mates ancient volvo that was held together by rust, slithering down a snowy hill near Southend on Sea whilst Shatner sang 'You're gonna die' at as. Surreal didn't even cover it.
Here's some samples.
A silly one
Whereas this one hits with a broadside of feels
We all sang along to this one
and the classic
oh and you're gonna die
