Stephen Hawking sings Monty Python's 'Galaxy Song'
Stephen Hawking has renewed his collaboration with Monty Python to produce a cover of the classic Meaning of Life hit “Galaxy Song”.
The famous scientist first worked with the Pythons after he and Brian Cox were persuaded to take part in a sketch about physics for the comedy troupe’s live reunion shows last year.
Eric Idle, who sung the original after emerging from a fridge in the 1983 film, has said he persuaded his friend Cox to take part in the scene which saw him knocked down by a rampaging Hawking in Cambridge.
That clip, which appears in the video for the new song, also included Hawking’s synthesised vocals on a snippet of the song about the size of the universe and “how amazingly unlikely is your birth”.
