Zaphod Beeblebrox for President! This music video rules!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... so I know this has been floating around, but goddamnit... I had to write something about it, not only because it's so damn cool, but we don't often get to celebrate Douglas Adams on the big screen day. This song is so fucking catchy, it's not funny.... well, it is funny, but you know what I mean. And Sam Rockwell is a genius... No more talking, check this out!
"In no way is he stupid! In no way is his brain impaired! It's just not true! He's smarter than you... and he's better looking, too!"

that Rockwell looks like
Cruise as Lestat in this vid?
And the HITCHHIKER flick for
that matter... -
The guy singing is Neil Hannon, him from the Divine Comedy...He wrote the Theme tune to Father Ted (and My Lovely Horse) to put it in context for all ye over there in the US...fantastic band.... the bassist seems to be the guy from Travis, can't figure out anyone else though
-
Grotesque downloading speed though. Holy mackrel.

I can't imagine the context in which this video/song will be use
by george newman
Sam looks like he is having the most fun in the world. Dang

For anyone out there who was afraid that the Hitchhikers film wouldn't be relevant today, watch this video and change the words "Zaphod Beeblebrox" to "Tony Blair" (or "Tony Blair-air-air" to make it fit). That'll sober you up for sure.
I'm really looking forward to this now. I was very happy to see Martin Freeman and Sam Rockwell cast in it. And as for Hammer and Tongs, I still get all warm and fuzzy everytime I see the video for Coffee and TV. If they can make me feel sympathetic to a milk carton, I'm sure that they can do the same for Mos Def.
As a childhood fan of Douglas Adams, and a grown up fan of The Divine Comedy, that video makes a lot of sense to me. :) -
Except that it's fucking awesome!

Does anybody have this mirrored anywhere? I can only seem to DL about half of it...
-
Well, not always, but he's got his smarm turned all the way up here, so I think his Zaphod will rule. The video was clever enough, not a political satire really, just a jokey kinda thing. Not brilliant, but funny. I'm seeing this tonight. Crossing my fingers, hoping for the best.
-
I think Sam Rockwell may turn out to be perfect for this role. But why does this video feel like a re-elect campaign commercial for a Southwark by-election ca. 1979?
-
I wish now that I had taken the time to register for the Galactic Election. His glasses are cool!
-
The song forgot to mention that he's bi-pinel
-
PokeAlex isn't the only one with this issue. I can only get the video to play the 1st half and then the DL stops.
Maybe there's too much traffic or maybe we need a mirrored source. -
... at the dick who said "I guess I like my political satire with a bit more focus."
Oh pur-leeze! -
That was some funny stuff... Rockwell may have been the perfect choice for Zaphod (I'll find out soon enough)...Pan out.
-
until I saw that.
-
I've been trying to download this for the last couple hours, and as some others have mentioned, the most we can download is around 50%. Or perhaps my computer is simply unworthy to behold the majesty of Zaphod Beeblebrox.
-
I just can't.
-
All he needs is a microphone on that mountain top. It's like Steven Tyler doing "Sound of Music".
I loved it, pure goofy ass Zaphod.
Finaly seeing him come to life on the silver screen will be a joy!
-
Sorry but that kind of thing has been done a million times before. It might have been funny-ish for 20 seconds and I hope to God the film is better paced.
-
There is a better version of this on iTunes, at least on the UK iTunes, can't be arsed to check the US one.
-
Great song! The download seems to be going much faster now, and finishing up to 100%.
-
For people, freedom, democracy... and stuff!
damn, I can't wait to see this one! -
Oh yes, come 2008, I will be voting for Zaphod as Prtesident. To all you dissing it, the reason why it's funy is because it's approach is like tptally serious which makes it 100 times more hilarious.

'Cause do you really wanna take a chance with someone less attractive? (Paid for by the Committee to Elect Beeblbrox)
-
It's a music video for a comedy film, get over yourself.
