@ReverendSyn Or maybe by an old man who lives in a shack with his cat on a deserted, rainy planet. People come to him in ships and ask him questions about the running of youtube (or maybe they're just singing to his cat)
Of course, he isn't sure that any of this is really happening, so doesn't understand that the decisions he makes in his shack affect the lives and fates of millions of youtube users.
The thing about that tune is that it shows you a nice acceptable melody rather akin to every day life, not boring as such, just standard unchanging niceness, then you have mad explosions of sound that seem so incongruous in the tune and yet so right, in the end that's what hitchhiker's is all about: one man going on a wild ride, and bringing Arthur Dent along for the hell off it.
A great song, great books, great BBC adaption (sorry, but the cine film was horrible) and a great author (H2G2 but also his other books e.g. "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul" - I really love them ! )
The newer film had a version that started out with a banjo solo...that one was my favorite. You could hear every single string being plucked & the melody just unraveled beautifully.
just ginished reading ALL THE BOOKS

So, I see YouTube's layout received a new permanent assfuck today. Nice little update, that.

@EddieTheFishReturns stop bitching... If they changed back to the original layout now, I bet that everyone would start whining.

I've heard this song before, but it sounded a bit different. Maybe this a remake from the original?

Extended? Wuh? The original Eagles song is twice as long... I prefer the original, but nice remix.
