Here's Stephen Hawking Singing Monty Python's 'Galaxy Song'
Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, because down here on Earth all we've got is Dr. Hawking

Monty Python's "Galaxy Song" from The Meaning of Life is an expansive take on the totality of existence, and few people understand the expansiveness of the universe quite like Stephen Hawking. When you combine the two, it's quite sublime.
Released as a single for Record Store Day 2015, taking place this Saturday, the collaboration between the world's most famous physicist and a troupe long known for its silly, surreal sense of humor is a ton of fun. You can hear the original here for comparison.
Previously, Brian Cox and Stephen Hawking made a video in which Cox pointed out the inaccuracies in the song and Hawking knocked him over while telling Cox he was being pedantic. (A clip is shown in the video below as well.)
