Galaxy songs and Monty Python

Fresca shared the lovely mashup that autotunes the voices of Carl Sagan and other scientists, talking about how we are all connected. I love it, and I know I saw it a while back, but I can't find it on my blog--I'm no good at tagging. Connecting is good when you remember to mark your path somehow.

This recalls another musical musing on our galaxy, by Monty Python:

(via clusterflock) but this clip is Monty Python's very own YouTube channel!!! (Here Eric Idle replies to "fatuous comments" left on the site.)

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.

We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.

No more of those crap quality videos you've been posting. We're giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.

What's more, we're taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what's even more, we're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!

But we want something in return.

None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.
