Shatner, Rocket Man, Padre de familia
¿Habéis visto alguno de los episodios de Futurama donde se ríen del estilo de cantar de William Shatner (a través de Zapp Brannigan, el alter ego en Futurama del capitán Kirk de Star Trek, interpretado por Shatner)? Pues todo eso tiene su origen en una célebre versión que hizo de una canción de Elton John, Rocket Man, durante la entrega de unos premios:
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And i'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much i miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And i think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science i don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And i think it's gonna be a long long time...
Desde luego, la cancioncita merece todos los chistes que se han hecho a su costa. Uno de los más famosos, la versión de Stewie Griffin en Family Guy:
