He probably stole the idea from Jules Verne who stole it from Archimedes who stole it from some unknown Roman guy who stole it from Atlantis before it sank.

From Wiki:

A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la lune) is a 1902 French black and white silent science fiction film. It is loosely based on two popular novels of the time: From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne and The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells. It was written and directed by Georges Méliès, assisted by his brother Gaston. The film runs 14 minutes if projected at 16 frames per second.

A Trip to the Moon was extremely popular in its day and is the best-known of the hundreds of fantasy films made by Méliès. It is also recognized as the first science fiction film, and utilizes innovative animation and special effects.

According to a french forum about a TV ads :

"The music in the commercial is finally signed by recordcompanies from around the world from our record company Strengholt/Dureco. We publish the song and own the master to this great track by Husan called "Husan", which is storming the charts in some territories already and of which a bootleg version by the Bangra Knights already received plays by UK’s top DJ Judge Jules a.o..

The track was written and produced by two of Strengholt’s composers (Jeroen den Hengst and Niels Zuiderhoek also known as Bald ’n Spikey) especially for this commercial. The music is original, the vocal by Rajah Mustaq is original, contrary to the hype and rumours that have been surrounding this magical piece of music. The commercial already won the prestigious Epica d"Or award. "

Jules finally lost his mind after "wandering the earth" for the last 12 years.

My favorite too, dag. Oh how I wish he played Mace Windu like Jules.
my other fav is:
"Well, I'm a mushroom cloud-layin' motherf**ker, motherf**ker. Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm "SUPERFLY TNT." I'm "THE GUNS OF THE NAVARONE!"

priceless isn't it?

“Mad World” was originally released by Tears for Fears in 1982. It was covered by Gary Jules and Michael and Andrews for "Donnie Darko" in 2001. The movie closes with the song.


I didn't know about this video until I was looking at "Donnie Darko" clips.
