Yep, got this from Dr. Plait yesterday….
I remember the original series back in my past…. guess i was 22 or so. We are all Star Stuff. I had not thought of it that way. The show really made me start to study all science… mostly physics and astronomy/astrophysics/cosmology.
Thanx Carl.

I loved it.
I suppose that auto-tuning isn’t completely evil after all…

@BingMcGhandi:
I agree, there’s a bit of Kermit in there. Sort of like if Kermit and and awesome scientist and a robot.
@Imrryr:
I guess its the difference between using it badly and using it as a deliberate artistic tool.

A message from Carl’s disembodied mind, floating among the stars, to all the young homeys. Isn’t science cool?

What an utterly fantastic human being. Does anyone know what the “galaxy rise” line is in reference to?

Whoop! Aw aw.
Great stuff. If you like this, I recommend Auto-Tune the News by the Gregory Brothers. ATTN #1 is somewhat forgettable, but check out #2 through #8. You’ll get to hear the likes of Katie Couric, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Dick Cheney, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, Newt Gingrich, Donna Brazile, John Boehner, and many others “sing.”
They also turned Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech into a song, which becomes a rather inspirational homage to the original.

Maybe I’m just too old, snarky, and grumpy, but two thumbs way down from me.
Love carl; hate the dreadful so-called music, and the lame musicification.

This is one of my favorite science rap videos:

I hope you can get it to stream more smoothly than I could.
