Link to the video:

He should have toured with pink floyd. The intro to "Keep Talking" has a voice synthesizer like his.

Actually, Zombie, that IS Hawking on "Keep Talking"!

Call me when he starts dancing.

That, THAT will be fucking newsworthy.

Here you go, Baldy.

Okay that does it. I have finally discovered who god is. It's Stephen Hawking.

What a cosmic gag it is for him to come to us pretending to be a physically impaired human.

Fellow astronomer Carl Sagan...LOL... that religious astronomer, Sagan.

Everyone can sing--some just sing better than others.

I for one, would be one of the others.

This isn't too bad--interesting really.

Hey, couldn't be any worse than William Shatner.

I'm not much a fan of Star Trek, but Shatner's spoken word albums are genius.

I too Sing the Body Electric

I sing Green Onions.

Interesting and different.

But what's with the word "whoop" Stephen Hawking says quite often in the beginning of his song?

I know Hawking's paralyzed so would it have something to do with part of his physical disability -- such as a difficulty in breathing? I was wondering if Hawking makes a "whoop" sound when trying to draw more air in his lungs so he's able to sing?

Anyway, more power to Hawking for making this unsual tribute to his fellow astronomer and friend Carl Sagan.

Yes, he could.

Just pray Stephen Hawking doesn't next try doing Priceline.com commericials like Shatner.

I think we found Aerosmith's next lead singer.

"But what's with the word "whoop" Stephen Hawking says quite often in the beginning of his song? "

Actually it's Carl Sagan saying that...Hawking doesn't come in until later. It was from clips of Sagan's show "Cosmos" (which are GREAT).

Inspiring, furthering and exploding exponentially the imagery from our innermost spaceship, navigating between the surreality of fact and the purposes of conceptualization. Our big blue marble carefully rolls along it's systematic groove, we dare to dream as our father has taught us to embrace this gift, even as we ache for his embrace.

"Anyway, more power to Hawking for making this unsual tribute to his fellow astronomer and friend Carl Sagan"

Hawking didn't make this although they did use some footage of him in it as well as his "voice". It was made by someone who goes by the online name "melodysheep", apparently a 23 year old student.

Here's a tribute the same guy did for Billy Mays :

The whoop is Carl Sagan imitating a whale song, I think. Hawking is the synthesized voice later on.

#18 - Whether you came up with that yourself or snatched it from another source, that's good stuff, Robot. Maybe you should try poetry.

And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

I don't see the big deal, Hawking did a duet with Richard Cheese years ago..

Was cosmos any good? I might just have to rent some episodes if I can find them.

The funny thing about Cosmos is that if you watch it today, it seems like just another science show telling accepted facts.

But when it was on originally, there were several ideas that simply were very controversial, that Sagan talked about constantly, evolution, black holes, the expanding universe, etc....

I actually had a science teacher tell me once that you would go to Hades (her word) if you watched Cosmos. I asked her if the Minotaur would be there and it pissed her off.

I find his style rather dry and robotic.

Carl Sagan is in Hades --- but not sure if he'll get to meet John Lennon there. The demons in hell does not entertain celebrities there.

I've had this damn song stuck in my head since yesterday.

--Carl Sagan

The idea of Carl Sagan burning in hell mildly amuses me. Simply because he I heard him use the word "googolplex".
I'm glad you're dead, Sagan!
