This is my kind of music video. Be sure to watch it Full Screen and in HQ if you can. Oh, and turn it up!

Enjoy.

Oh clamairy! That was wonderful! I too want to grab people on the street and shout out "Have you heard this!"

Still saddened at the premature departures of both Sagan and Feynman. Sagan who so eloquently spoke to the awe and wonder of the universe and our place in it. And Feynman, one of the true geniuses of the twentieth century, and yet with his feet firmly planted on the ground, in this world.

Thanks much!!

You know, what makes me happiest about many of these Autotune videos nowadays, is that many of them are based on historical people/videos.

They are literally taking an older video, "pumping it up" into song form, and many youths of today are watching them.

Other examples that are historically relevant are:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0F4iXEzO... - MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, in sing-song (which, when you listen to it, is a rather entertaining piece of music!)

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW6jW9y59... - Churchill's "Lift Up Your Hearts" (naturally, in sing-song)

Glad you people enjoyed it. I found myself watching it over and over again. :o)

#4 - Loved them both, but the Churchill one had me giggling in a few spots. :oD

Having nothing to do with science, but musically similar, have you ever listened to Bent, Clammy?

No, but that was lovely, Jesse.

By the way, I want to give credit for finding that Symphony of Science video to my good buddy littlegeek. She posted it in another group here on LT. She's the one who introduced me to the joys of Neil deGrasse Tyson.
