Got the original version back - here's a "compared" version:
*backup=[...snipped...]

So, Disney now owns it---and they should know the world will pay a ridiculous price just to own a high quality ORIGINAL version of the trilogy.
Let us hope the profit motive wins.

..And it's way better than the original version.

If anyone else is wondering what the original version is like... http://youtu.be/CGyEd0aKWZE



I preferred the Postmodern Jukebox version myself

Art of Noise - Moments in Love (original version) has been added as a related post - related requested by Zawash on that post.

They sure seem taller than I expected.

Also, upvote for the original version of a song I originally learned of from Nouvelle Vague (one of my favorites, check their first album out).

I have a degree in physics. I'm guessing that English is maybe a 2nd language for you? Your explanation of mass and weight is a little confusing. With regards to our astronaut on the moon, it's the difference in weight that matters. He should be able to (approximately) lift six times the weight he could on earth.
(Sidebar: It's often been said that Olympics on the moon would be fantastic because a man who could high-jump 7 feet high on earth would be able to high-jump 42 feet high (7x6) on the moon. In fact, he would only be able to jump about half that. Do you know why? I'll leave that with you as a challenge.)

Insofar as faked moon landings, I'm 90 % sure we went to the moon. However, bear in mind that Americans didn't know their own government was spying extensively on them til last year. It's the old joke... "Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't watching you..."

Alternative 3 is an interesting study of conspiracy dynamics. I first heard of it 30 years ago. It started as an April Fools joke in Britain on a science news TV show. It was brilliant in it's conception...

Short version:
1. Global warming will lead to total collapse of earth's eco-systems in two centuries or less.
2. Global governments are co-operating to move the cream of earth's leaders, scientists, etc to bases that have been established for decades on the far side of the moon and on Mars. (Alternative 3. Alternative 1 was huge underground bunkers, Alternative 2 was huge geo-synchronous cities... both were deemed too impractical to carry out.)
3. Mars is actually very liveable. We landed there in the 60s, established bases, using flying saucer technology developed here on earth by scientists.
4. The general population is being kept ignorant of the impending disaster, our advanced technology, the true state of Mars, etc. Governments worldwide are co-operating at the highest levels to perpetuate the myth that our progress in space is a slow, laborious process. (Which explains why the Soviet Union did not expose the Apollo programs as fake...) They don't want to cause a panic while they advance their agenda.
5. They have even developed psychic assassins capable of killing with their minds via spontaneous human combustion.

Due to TV schedule changes it was shown at a later date convincing the general public there that it was the real deal. (You can actually see the original show on YouTube... you'll even recognize some of the 'real scientists' etc as British character actors if you're old enough.)

It's a long convoluted story but thanks to a couple of follow up books and the Internet which gave it new life it has now 'morphed' into this vast conspiracy that involves alien / government co-operation at the highest levels à la X-Files. (The original conspiracy did not involve aliens...)

Adding to the fun and mystery is that some real world events -- too complicated to explain here -- later played right into details of the conspiracy.

I always thought it would make for a brilliant Hollywood movie -- the original version, not the 'updated' version.

YES! Ever since Call Me Maybe I've been waiting for the next chatroulette hit.

EDIT: I resubmitted his updated version since the original version was killed by YouTube. You'd probably still call that a dupe, but here it is:

Way better than whatever the original version sounds like...She needs to hire this guy to produce her next album.

@Yogi - I use the term "supermodel" for want of a better term, but @Lann hit the nail on the head.

My comment wasn't as much about her beauty, which is definitely debatable, as much as how her body is unrealistic from every angle and and her facial features seem sculpted. Her body and face look like they could only have been constructed in Photoshop or on a plastic surgeon's table, but it seems she just hit the genetic lottery (in the category of aesthetics at least).

I really like the style of the video; I love how it feels so 80s. I'd never heard the song or seen the video before seeing the original version (before Jimmy Kimmel was edited out):

Original version (audio).

That's hilarious. I'd seen the original version of this video and was disappointed I hadn't thought to sift it. This is much better though.

Uh, ma'am, we're the Blues Brothers. We do blues, rhythm & blues, jazz, funk, soul. We can handle rock, pop, country, heavy metal, fusion, hip hop, rap, Motown, operetta, show tunes. In fact, we've even been called upon, on occasion, to do a polka! However Caribbean is a type of music, I regret to say, which has not been, is simply not, nor will ever be a part of this band's repertoire.

Gotta upvote the original version.

I can't up-vote this...I get the feeling that this is a less funny/original version of an SNL commercial parody that I've seen already.

the original version that got banned in 1992 for being too erotic by MTV
