Forget rap, forget the news, THIS is what auto-tune was meant for! Carl Sagan sings his lovely prose about our wonderful universe with an appearance by Stephen Hawking. -via Geeks Are Sexy

Funny! Hopefully this will somehow reignite interest in Sagan’s masterpiece of television COSMOS…

This gave me a nerd-gasm. The universe’s greatest spokesperson… miss you lots Carl…

Carl Sagan has long been a hero of mine, and I always appreciated the poetry of his words in Cosmos…as a musician, I love to hear Carl Sagan’s words put to music, and in his (sort-of) own voice! Fantastic. Loved that man.

Holy. Cow. That was impressive. Now I have to go mess with my GarageBand program…

O.o
I really like that… I’m half tempted to rip that to an MP3 and put it on my ambient downtempo playlist. It’s sciencey and po-mo all at the same time. As they say, “MOAR!”

giltwist, you don’t need to rip it. There’s a link in the youtube description to the artist’s site. He has the mp3 available for download.

Wow! Just wow! Not big fan of autotuning but I make an exception when it comes to Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking! Awesome.

Ah! Didn’t notice that, thanks! Now, I will admit I own the Klein Four’s CD, but I would totally shell out $16.99 for 12 tracks of this sort of thing. Carl Sagan was masterfully poetic and totally brilliant. I’d love to see other science fiction and fantasy authors put to ambient downtempo. Can you imagine how awesome the Jabberwock might sound this way? Oo! Or how about some of the recordings of Tolkien reading long passages in Quenya!

Nicely done!
Carl Sagan on Autotune = Kermit the Frog? The secret is out…

Wow. That came out to be a really good song. Actually with the lyrics, quite beautiful. I love it!
Fernando Sotomayor
Woah, this made me cry, it’s a beautiful speech and i’m gonna have to look for the original
now if you care to join me, gentlemen, ladies
to the STARS!
