High as a Kite…

There have been poor copies of it around the Internet for years…but IFilm is now offering a better video clip of perhaps the greatest TV musical moment of the seventies. That's right…William Shatner performing his version of Elton John's "Rocket Man" on a 1978 awards show. This link may bring it up on your screen (it's an ASF file, playable through Windows Media Player). If that link doesn't work, go here and look around for it. This is the number that was so odd that Chris Elliott did a parody of it on David Letterman's show by just coming out and doing it exactly the same way Shatner did it.
