According to Rolling Stone Magazine, “William Shatner’s 1967 debut LP The Transformed Man is perhaps the most mocked album in the history of recorded music. Released at the height of the psychedelic movement, the album mixes famous poems and Shakespeare works with pop music – all delivered with Shatner’s signature overly-dramatic speaking voice. It’s more bizarre than it sounds. Shatner claims he recorded “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” in the voice of somebody tripping on LSD. Nobody has ever tripped that bad.”

But wait, what if someone took that god-awful song and made a god-awful video to go along with it? Yup, that’s what this guy did and you can both thank him and hate him at the some time because while this video is EPIC, it is also extremely hard to watch and even harder to finish. Go ahead and try: it’ll be the longest 3 minutes of your life! They even make references to Lucille Ball for some unknown reason.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
