SHATNER SUNDAY: Shatner/Beatles LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS mashup

Sunday, November 22, 2009

It's only been a couple of weekends since we enjoyed a music video for William Shatner's epic 1968 version of the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. But after you see this one, I think you'll agree that it deserves to be shared. It mashes up two of my favorite things - Star Trek and The Yellow Submarine - and does a surprisingly good job of it, making it seem almost natural for Captain Kirk to be beaming in and out of Pepperland. (It probably helps that the 1970s Star Trek cartoon was so trippy to start with.)

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
