It Is Very Important That You Watch This Video Of Patrick Stewart Singing Classic Cowboy Songs
You might not know that you need to see Captain Picard singing 'Raw Hide', but you do.
Sir Patrick Stewart is a man who understands the internet. He’s also a man who seems to have been put on this earth as a manifestation of all that is good and wondrous and absolutely batshit weird. For this reason, we shouldn’t be surprised that Patrick Stewart has made a video advertising a CD sampler of “cowboy classics” that you can actually buy.
This is real.
Yep.
As the voiceover explains, Sir Patrick Stewart has been “long known as England’s premier cowboy singer” and now it’s time to share his timeless ballads with the world. “Sometimes it takes an Englishman to show us what is great about being an American,” the voiceover says.
In case you’re wondering if this is just a weird Jimmy Fallon skit, feel free to visit the official website where you may purchase a copy of Patrick Stewart’s Cowboy Classics, an item which is 100 percent real. I’m not kidding. You can buy this item.
Here he is.
That’s Sir Patrick Stewart.
He wants to sing you a song.
It’s easy to get swept up in the beautiful minutia of this video (Taylor Swift?) but there’s one little detail that you might have missed: all the proceeds from the sale of the CD sampler (it’s real, I tell ya!) will go to the International Rescue Committee, an organisation that aids refugees around the globe. Oh, Sir Patrick! What a wonderful cowboy you are.
Giddy up.
