Imagining a different narrator for a favorite song

1 min read

A couple of nights ago I had the classic Veggie Tales’ Silly Song Dance of the Cucumber pop into my head. (Don’t even bother asking why.)

And after reciting a few lines, I had a wild idea pop into my head. Imagine if Dance of the Cucumber, instead of being interpreted by Bob the Tomato, were interpreted by…

… William Shatner.

Imagine his trademark delivery of the classic lines:

“Watch the cucumber… oh, how smooth his motion… like butter… on a bald… …monkey.”

“Listen to the cucumber… hear his strong voice… like a lion… …about to eat.”

And the closing line of the verses: “dancing cucumber… dancing cucumber… dancing cucumber… dance, dance… YEAH.”

Personally, I think it’d be awesome. The more I think about it, I wonder if Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki didn’t have Shatner in mind when they did the song… but I may just be humoring myself with that thought.

What do you think?
