I'M PROBABLY THE LAST PERSON TO FIND THIS OUT

When Stewie Griffin did that rendition of "Rocket Man" during the Family Guy episode "And the Weiner is...", it was actually a fairly accurate parody of a version done by William Shatner in 1978 during the Science Fiction Film Awards.

Stewie's Version

Shatner's Version

Hell, I never even knew Shatner smoked.

2 Don't feel bad "Pap"! I'd never seen Shatner's version before, but Stewie's still cracked me up when I first "Seen" it. I think the whole thing is much funnier when you consider the old Priceline commercials where "Big Bill" was doing a rendition of "Bust-a-Move". He was parodying his own performance, and people got pissed off about it. The whole thing is just a scream.
