Awesome Eric Idle song interrupted by bits of @ProfBrianCox

The BBC are very good at this sort of thing. Personally I prefer the I Am The Walrus vid from a few years ago, though:



... but it's nice to see old Eric keeping his hand in.

Either I clearly need to listen to it way more often than I already do or...has Eric Idle changed the lyrics (RE: the first ad)?

[miss_s_b]

Yes, it's been changed lots. We used to sing the original to Holly for a lullaby, so I know the original off by heart. This one is much different. More biology, less cosmology. Which is ironic given the presence of Prof Cox.

[shishmish]

Yes it's a tad weird seeing him doing Biology. But then he can make anything seem interesting. You know QI is going to be awesome when he's on geeking out along with Fry.

[shishmish]

Wait, silly me he has. And now I have to have this version as a mp3 to repeatedly listen to it along with the other one.

Wow, either those were really good or I am really sick because I got all weepy watching them.

[miss_s_b]

No, it's that they are really good. The BBC is good at making adverts which swell the heart. It's one of the reasons I am very glad we've got them.
