If you need a laugh today, here you go…a promo video that Stewart made to support of the International Rescue Committee.

I’m really getting tired of foreigners appropriating our culture.

He does have a good country voice though. I’d love to hear him sing that great country classic Urban Struggle by the Vandals.

He’s got a hell of a baritone. It’s a shame that the album/s being advertised don’t actually exist, because now I need the Patrick Stewart/Taylor Swift duet in my life.

Love it but… did he actually sing “keep them doggies rolling” in the first clip? Isn’t that supposed to be “dogies”, with a long “o”?

Well, [here’s the original to compare](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPplYp7K7M). It sounds like the same way I’d say “doggies” there.

There appears to actually be a 5-song sampler that you can buy from cdbaby if you visit the web site on the supposed ad at the end of the video: [pstewsings.com](http://pstewsings.com)

Click “Purchase Sampler” at the bottom of the screen. I might do so; I’ve certainly heard a lot worse.

Gloriously country-fried silliness. And his wife has a good voice, too!

You know, I’ll bet Shatner would be up for that and I think Stewart would be too. They both seem to enjoy projects where they can ham it up and make fun of themselves.

Can we get [this guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi8MI7jjpSY) in on the act, too?

I can’t believe he made a mockery out of “Ghost Rider In The Sky”. I’ll stick with the original [bilingual pop song by Tom Jones and Raphael](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbZ51cGSrUs), thanks.

Son of a gun! That was actually…plausible! He’s got the voice to make it work!

(Sigh… I followed the link: server not available.)

But he should be singing “keep them doggies rollin” so that it rhymes with “though the streams are swollen.”
