Stephen Hawking sings Monty Python's Galaxy Song

submitted by noims

9 years 1 month ago

Prof Hawking exercises his electronic pipes, accompanied by shots from Monty Python live in London earlier this year.

"Interestingly" this version is a mix of the original version from the film with more recent updates as our knowledge has improved. In the live show, Hawking runs down Brian Cox for pedantry, but he still has a few corrections alongside some relatively major blunders.

In case this does actually interest you, here's the most recent analysis, from Eric Idle's blog: http://www.ericidle.com/blog/?p=233

He needs to work with his singing coach more...he sounded a little flat.

Yeah. Don't quit your day job, professor!

He needs to work with his singing coach more...he sounded a little flat.

I dunno... he sounded like pretty much every other auto-tuned bullshit in the charts... this could probably go number 1.

Besides, Hawking has also been more of a rapper..

Yeah. Don't quit your day job, professor!

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Grimm.

I don't think there are many subjects or constructs of civilization that I care about beyond the topics of this video. Science is such a great excuse to make comedy and comedy is such a great excuse to crossdress, or sing. Oh, the Pythons. You help me automate.

Today the world became noticeably dumber.
R.I.P.
