William Shatner's 5 most memorable musical moments

In 1978, during the Science Fiction Film Awards, William Shatner, who hosted the evening, delivered a comical and dramatic interpretation of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” The song’s writer, Bernie Taupin introduced Shatner before his well-remembered performance.

We all know the complexities that come with singing Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,” well in true dramatic reading form Shatner was up to challenge and of course, it becomes a celebrated rendition of the classic-hit.

Nothing is off-limits for Family Guy and of course, the beloved adult cartoon has found a way, throughout the years, to poke fun at Shatner and his covers of popular music. In this particular Stewie references Shatner’s exalted “Rocket Man” moment.

Shatner’s comical stylings on Cee Lo Green’s “F*** You” made the whole feel hilariously to the point. The actor performed the bit on George Lopez’s brief talk show, Lopez Tonight.

During a tribute to George Lucas at the 2005 AFI Life Achievement Awards, Shatner performed an original tribute to the Star Wars mogul, complete with Stromtrooper backup dancers and a cameo from Chewbacca.
