Awesome Sauce Music Friday! You’re Lucky to Be Here At All Edition

Good day! Are you ready to rock? No? Well get ready! The beat waits for no one!

Look, I know you’re unimaginably young, but you must be familiar with Monty Python. I refuse to believe otherwise. In their last movie, The Meaning of Life, there is featured a song about the universe. It’s called, appropriately, “The Universe Song” (aka “The Galaxy Song.”) It’s a delight, and I totally reserve the right to use it in future Awesome Sauce Music posts.

As fate – or the BBC – would have it, the song has been rewritten to be about biology. Oh sure, it’s just a teaser for Brian Cox’s Wonders of Life, but who cares? Eric Idle is singing! Brian Cox is almost sacrificed to a lion! Sharks! Just watch, listen, and enjoy.
