2001 A Space Odyssey Opening

[hunterallen48]

when my mother was giving birth to me.....this song was playing in the background!!!!!

[rallo42]

whats the song called

[superotherguy1]

Kerbal Space Program and Orbiter 2010! XD

[jbranstetter04]

What will it be like in 2001? Will we be flying around in space ships like we now fly around in planes? Will we have space stations all over the solar system? Will man no longer make war on his fellow man, or keep his neighbors child starving. Of this I wonder.....who will we be?

[TraxtasyMedia]

Like if Zatox brought u here :D

[jchijan]

This movie is a metaphor for the spiritual evolution of man. It has a lot of hidden truth in it. Are you a truth seeker? Search Truth Contest in google and click on the top result. Then check out "The Present" on the homepage.

[PATROSFUCK]

The most boring movie ever made !!!

[rlcbm]

when i get windows 7 this song will play in my head

[raphtx]

Richard STRAUSS wrote it, not Wagner.

[Atza56]

sorry for my ignorance but I must ask, I was always under the impression that Richard Wagner wrote this, am I wrong?

[alliant]

@Atza56

I believe he did. He was inspired, and based it off of, Nietzsche's philosophical work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

[lolcat1945]

I like to play this when I'm taking a dump...

[zcarver25]

RON PAUL 2012

[makamook10]

id like this but...its on 7777... im conflicted 

[Decimate92]

WOOOOOOO!!!!!

[kojakbangbang7]

this movie was SO ahead of it's time, better than star wars, space 1999 , buck rogers, such clarity and technology

[BeautyDoll29]

i was sent from a RRcherrypie video ..

[SAMMERS365]

BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.

[bassguitarwade]

Toynbee idea

In kubrick's 2001

Ressurect dead on jupiter

[MushroomheadXx69]

You can play this song to anything your doing/about to do. It makes it 20x better. Specially when VICTORY is at hand.

[moppenboek]

wy 1968 was this a remake?

[Leagon13]

the most amazing introduction to a movie i have ever seen

[crotchwellthealien]

My aunt took me to see this in the theater when I was a kid. I remember like this. Monkeys beating each other to death. Guys jogging in space. Guys arguing with a computer. A twenty plus minute acid trip. Then a black rectangle.

[CommanderSquidlet]

@crotchwellthealien That's a pretty accurate summary of the film. :P

[yummybeefyboy]

Best movie intro ever movie was so ahead of it's time 

[chesstiger24]

Sorry: Zarathustra

[chesstiger24]

Richard Strauss: Zarathusra (beginning from the 30. secundum)

This is one of the best song theme all the time.

[gradyiscool]

A guy I work with the other day moved his work space into a little office space next to where I'm working out back. So to celebrate the success of finally getting a proper room to work in on his own, he played this song at earth shaking volume. No joke, you could hear it through the entire building.

[gracetsoka]

Siri can sing you this

[Ridhwan99]

@gracetsoka how?

[Flipray2009]

I only came here because I play with chatbots.

[JRock005]

I still haven't seen this movie. Is it any good? And yes I'm young ass hell.

[EvergreenAstronaut]

@JRock005 It's the best Sci Fi of all time

[PhantomWerewolf]

@JRock005 It is a great film, but the ending is very trippy. Just letting you know that right now.

[macrobioticman]

This is in my opinion the greatest sic- fi film ever made. For it's time it was far reaching, not for it's special effects which for 68 were unparrelled but because of it's concepts, idiots whom dislike it haunt bothered to sit and absorb the message. The first date I ever watched this film gods truth. Jan 1st 2001 and I was never the same again.

[haydenc93]

Idiots dislike this

[argyrisdrjk]

I really wonder what kind of 172 people can give neg to this.......?

[bloo0525]

Was sent here after watching littlekuriboh's video. lol

[rustlerboi1052]

I wish so badly that this type of inspiration was thrust upon the current generation of engineers. I wish so badly I grew up during this era. This is the type of space exposure that makes one question his/her own existence and want to search for answers.

I wish NASA was more publicly recognized. Could you imagine watching this movie less than one year prior to the moon landing? I would sacrifice my life to live that moment.

[Vovan105]

All Human Evolution in 1:17 min.

[Infernal01]

epic opening is epic

[supermegaman14]

I FOUND THE HAPPINES ñ.ñ

[Epicraptor1]

Boobs in space.

Me gusta.

[anusbank147]

Epic, just epic.

[aqilproductions]

the epicness is killing me!!



[guusven]

This music makes taking a shit 5000 times more epic

[AuzzieNic]

This makes me think of Dramatic Gopher

[southerncajuncharm]

Does anyone hear this and NOT think of Ric Flair?

[EnLugal]

Too bad that people learn about classical music from Kubrick. I consider him a bad director.

[FilmNerd85]

@EnLugal I consider you lacking knowledge in cinema.

[IHIomelessman]

@FilmNerd85 Matter of tastes.... but... I want to kill that man

[IHIomelessman]

@EnLugal sooo... you dont like movies like... Full Metal Jacket, 2001, clockwork orange, The Shining, Eyed Wide Shut... and those classics considered the bests movies of all time?

[EnLugal]

@IHIomelessman You're right, I don't like any of his movies.

[IHIomelessman]

@EnLugal In that case... "I consider you lacking knowledge in cinema" FilmNerd85.

[EnLugal]

@IHIomelessman I'm not a film fan, but I've seen a lot of films - I'm just not Kubrick's fan, that's all.

[weeryan2008]

@EnLugal Who do you consider to be a good director?

[superotherguy1]

So... back in the day... what exactly did they use for special effects? Was this considered great for its time?

[weeryan2008]

@superotherguy1 The best, dude.

[123LittleBastard]

Kubrick was a fucking pussy!

[MrFennic]

And God said... "Let there be one awesome sci-fi film."

And He named it "2001: A Space Odyssey".

[megaexplosions]

@MrFennic and he saw that it was good. it was night and it was day, friday night midnight feature.

[StelarCF]

@MattBoy000 you'd have a penny

[sunshineberryxo]

this should be our national anthem

[RatoDeBar]

I'm watching this in 2012, i'm from the future!

[celinericard]

The real name of this song is Also sprach Zarathustra composed in 1896 by Richard Strauss (1864 -1949)

[Camineromairena]

Who wrote this song?

[jakezilla382000]

Critic:OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH MMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

IT SUCKS

[lfgubrs]

I will only think of The big bang theory when i hear this song now xD

[BJ64Th3M0v13f4n]

Stanley Kubrick is a genius but he's not with us anymore. R.I.P. Stanley.

[terrawolf77]

The best sci fi movie............ no word to explain

[thatfield01]

I want this as a ring tone on my phone!

[bagsmohess]

Woooooooooo

[Gordonfields]

they should have play'd this when Homer evolved

[Jezzarulesify]

thumbs up if u played the drums

[2003jackb]

This was played when Chuck Norris was born.

[finchelxforever]

@2003jackb Looks Like It... *Puts On Sunglasses* Was. YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH­H

[Wolfgang2400]

who was sent by cat in zero gravity

[dfdtdfdx]

good song to listen to during turn of the year.... :p

[speedx50]

[sirMAXX77]

(first time taking a bite of a lemon cream cupcake made by Pinkie Pie) *this video*

[deadguy1337]

*puts this song*Welcome to the moon.....

[LightHero117]

Is this the series about the strange big black plates, the crazy computer and the space baby? Yeah!

[oneputtsteven]

@LightHero117 The plates were a portals to other parts of the universe.

[LightHero117]

@oneputtsteven I know that. I'm joking that the series is extremely surreal, even for a sci-fi series.

[OSOKViciousTheMyth]

This plays every time i pull my penis out of my pants.

[Sihria]

I love how even when this song was first used, the only thing it does is mark the events of something extremely boring as awesome. Without this music, it would just be three spheres moving out of focus for a minute and a half.

[KEYSERSOZE1965]

Ladies and Gentlemen....put your hands together....for your SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS!!!!

[Vsmovies100]

Does anyone knows the name of the song?

[brown320]

@Vsmovies100 Also Sprach Zarathustra, or sometimes called Thus Spoke Zarathustra, or Thus Spake Zarathustra.

[nickz356]

thumbs up if you came here cuz of rrcherry?

[Foodfast123]

I want this to play on my funeral... Perfectly synced with putting the coffin with my body into the grave.

[alervful]

thumbs up if you want to poo while listening to this song :D

[acapjumpen]

"Soldiers" Rising XD

[vitoduval]

CBS played this before a Rams Cowboys playoff game in the 80s

[vitoduval]

Winston Churchill

[DoctorCrown8]

This song plays everyday when I wake up.

[TheKitty9898]

[jihadzi]

Najlepszy film w historii s-f

[Foodfast123]

@jihadzi Nadal niedościgniony wzór. :)

[Thegoodshit1]

Ok, so I'm gonna throw a party with a wet tee shirt contest, and when the final note hits, all the girls take off their shirts. Boss

[malikrox]

[JasonRyougi]

[MikeyMcN123]

[janparize2]

Whenever I hear this song, I have to think of Krombacher, a german beer brand.

[TheWWEHits]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Nature Boy RIC FLAIR!

[dzan50]

this plays when im in the toilet

[OroborusFMA]

@dzan50 Amazing. Your dumps are important? Unlikely.

[malows1234]

@dzan50 WAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH ALL THE I AM IN THE TOILET JOKES. i dont fucking get it. why all the thumbs up. its on every 2001 opening video. WAT THE FUCK. come on someione say something.

[880330145789]

@malows1234 i dont know if u were serious with your comment. but im guessing the toilet jokes are referring to the music being so 'epic' when u are taking a dump. this opening music has already been associated with many events that are grand and huge

[BasementBeginnings]

@dzan50 Chuck Norris?

Is... is that you?

[Elmoassasin80]

@dzan50 IN?

oh dear god...thats an odyssey i think i'll pass on.

[Motion63O]

THIS IS THE FUTURE!

[ASpaceOdyssey101]

I clipped my nails to this; I feel decidedly accomplished.

[Youtzy1359]

Thos song was played while chuxk norris was being born

[Dracoa79]

@Youtzy1359

Nah. That was HAL 9000 singing Daisy that was playing. This song played when Bruce Lee was born though.

[revolutionarybum0711]

I played this when I found out the Higgs-particle was discovered :)

[Conspiratardz]

@revolutionarybum0711 It wasn't.

[weeryan2008]

@NOWisNWO You mean the monolith? No, it's not.

[TaylorRunescape]

Feel like giving some one a slow motion knife edge chop. and shouting WOOOOOO! after it.

[PIETRASZE]

HAL=IBM (one letter forward) ;d

[aleprbla]

@PIETRASZE ET=FUUUUUUUU

[MakotoBeam]

Slow motion time! XD

[HeroineWith1000Faces]

I just ate a piece of bread to this. God, it really does make everything epic.

[TheWowwzaa]

@HeroineWith1000Faces I prefer eating my toast to "O Fortuna"

[JATO457]

this helps me get over constipation.

[theknightlynews]

Too fast

[ThePredictable]

I can finally see it! The growing nipple!



[boyODD]

This was ahead of its time by light years

[TurdFergurson]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[zomborzombor1]

always when i take a shit i play this spng in my telephone. the funny part is when i do this in the mall toilet, and i sing this very loudly...

[tanzac15]

vsauce top comment?

[Nightmonkey17]

I'm afraid Dave, I'm afraid.

[RAch711baby]

women who are givig birth should have this song playing in the background

[GoldMoney1000]

i swear my pants were on before this song started

[Nkieffer000]

@GoldMoney1000

haha, what is that supposed to mean?

[mmscott9]

Now coming down to the ring, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 243 pounds, the Nature Boy, Ric Flair

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[OMGROFLMAOism]

theoretically, If i ever get into a fight and get knocked to the ground, i'll Que my friend to start playing this, just to see what happens

[TheKirk15]

I'm scared Dave.

[stokepogue]

This has the most views, yet it's at the wrong speed. Typical.

[J4CKM4N2266]

@stokepogue They did that to avoid copyright which as placed on the song.

[fangedladybug]

Keep killing the timpanis, dude!

[jaylew1987]

i dont why but when i hear this piece it always cracks me up XD

[vampiregirl1241]

My grade did this 2 come on 4 school concert and we had speaking from Apollo 11 in it!!

[Bloodsport1]

Hal is IBM in cryptic language

[Steamh4mmer]

I played it when we entered the End in Minecraft... :D

[JonMarTwins]

@Steamh4mmer xD

[asparagusoffice]

2 + 1 =3

[masterofpuppets986]

i play this song when im lighting a joint or a blunt up :)

[Gordontrek]

Awesome song but funny, this is in C sharp whereas the original Also Sprach Zarathustra was in C.... but no matter, this song is pure awesomeness

[malikrox]

@Gordontrek Holy shit, you're right, but that's wrong on a crucial level. Also Sprach Zarathustra is a philosophical text in of itself as a tone poem, where the key of C, with no sharps or flats, symbolizes nature, and why the theme is the simplest of the "Naturthemen" The decision doesn't really make sense for a lot of reasons but this is by no standards a great recording anyway I guess. (I keep the mini-score to this on me like a bible)

[TheKirk15]

Life is so small! we need to explore the stars!

[invinciblerodan101]

the films entertaining but it really does not have a plot

[SkyFortStudios]

@invinciblerodan101 Sure it does. It's just not in the conventional timeline. Kubrick still pulled it off, thats why he's one of, if not THE greatest.
