Galaxy Song - Monty Python Live in O2 Arena.

Monty Python, Galaxy Song, with Professor Brian Cox and Theoretical Physicist Stephen Hawking (from 2:54)
Brian Cox tries to explain why he thinks the song is scientifically inaccurate. What do Stephen Hawking think about this?

[@Lots43]

Monty Python is a gift to humanity

[@battery1707]

It sure is

[@da.best.cat.personevslaure7861]

yes

[@shakespearefreak-upon-Avon]

And the universe

[@crazyorganist1609]

Definitely

[@richunixunix3313]

and beyond

[@johnknouse6984]

After finding out how big of a fan Stephen Hawking was of Monty Python, I am so glad he got to do this with them. It made this even better. The greatest theoretical mind of the past 100 years in cosmology and astrophysics...was also someone who loved the Python just as much as his science. God rest his and Terry's souls.

[@goranlund2677]

And Graham's.

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

Guess what. All of the Python's are "Atheist", therefore you can take your "God" etc. and blow it, out, your Galactic Gastric Central Point. Rest, In Peace, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones and The Spanish Inquisition, not that i expect the Spanish Inquisition to Rest, In Peace.

[@fraserkatie]

I love Stephen Hawking's part in this! He's fabulous!!!

[@Netreek]

He is one of those professors who didn't mind to make some jokes here and there. He will never be forgotten. May it because of Big Bang Theroy, Monty Phytons, The Simpsons (TV and the mobile game) or whatever. Thank you Monty Pythons for those wonderfull many years. :)

[@AutisticPersona]

Ok, I lost it at Stephen Hawking.

[@NotanotherDopeShow]

finaly, you lost the best.

[@dalejwosk777]

He's voice never changed it is stilL BEAUTIFUL

[@redjaxs7675]

Well yes, Stephen Hawking has a robotic voice. Course it never changes.

[@SEngelsg]

2:27 : those who say Monty Python is just for laughs never listened to that wisdom right there. Unlikely - yes, so absolutely, don't you feel great?

[@dr.sausage55]

And pray for there's intelligent life somewhere up in space cause there's bugger all down here on Earth ❤

[@digitaljez]

Sometimes I feel proud to be British. Legends, the lot of them.

[@TrottoirFritz]

I will miss your sense of humor Mr. Hawking. R.I.P.

[@CSSuser]

I love how he points to those clerics when singing "And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft..." :D

[@ProtoGhostal1701]

You mean the Spanish Inquisition?

[@CSSuser]

The Volcano Worshpers Club yeah

[@aliservan7188]

Well, I did not expect that :D

[@huh98]

Which was a surpise because I wasn't expecting a Spanish Inquisition.

[@deltanovember1672]

Rick Sanchez I loved that too.

[@Schwansonian_Townsonian]

"...cause there bugger all down here on earth." Is one of the absolute best lyrics written, ever.

[@SirCraigius]

All it was missing was the "so....can we have your liver then?" bit at the end.

Eric was right...no intelligent life on this planet!

[@PippaPPod]

Lily Saxerud And Hawking!

[@majestic-skies]

Agreed. It's getting much worst as idiocracy continues to run its course. This songs basically foreshadowing lol.

[@robertbilling6266]

That's typical of Stephen's sense of humour. Loved it. I wonder if the clip of him saying "You have the universe upside down" still exists.

[@HappyinJapan358]

This is just a bit of the best that Britain has to offer the world. It’s truly beautiful.

[@kluangh1tam]

I love that Eric updated the facts in the lyrics, now I have to learn them all over again. Curse you, self righteous scientist!!

[@Zeithri]

The part with Stephen Hawking going a driveby was hilarious XD

[@N0_1.]

Rest in piece Mr Hawking. You will be missed

[@vincentstephan3927]

The look they briefly exchange at 2:01 is particularly moving, spelling "so happy to be here together after so many years".

[@robf6105]

I love Python so much. Comedic geniuses all. What are the odds that so much genius would come together like it did?

[@ChubbyChecker182]

I am not much of a fan of Monty Python so much, but i LOVE Eric Idles songs. Wonderful stuff.

[@Katiedid2040]

Good bye Stephen. May you forever traverse the cosmos

[@protoborg]

When Hawking calls you pedantic, you know you're in trouble! FYI, even geothermal energy ultimately comes from the sun as ALL objects native to the solar system came from the sun.

[@N13M0]

This song plays a little in my head every single day.

[@terryperring104]

Seriously-that key change in the instrumental break is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Idles greatest moment and it wasn't comedy!! (And I CAN'T suss it out on my guitar..!)

[@magicemperor2420]

I had chills when I first watched this, yeah.

[@alaeriia01]

It's B to Cdim7 to Bb, taking advantage of the fact that Cdim7 is just A9 with the root lopped off. You expect Cdim7 to resolve to Eb, then F7, then around the circle of fifths to end on G (which is not an unreasonable modulation, as the the interlude is in F#, and we are used to modulation up a half step from Broadway musicals). However, A9 does indeed resolve nicely to Bb, which sets up the big swell back to the verse. The emotional moment comes from the unexpected switch of Cdim7 into A9, which is in some sense the musical equivalent of a pun. So, in effect, Eric Idle just engaged in classic Python wordplay, but in musical form!

[@steveforest8385]

Why the lyrics change? Was it intentional or did he just forget? Or were the original stats wrong and so had to be corrected by Cox and Hawking?

[@BronyDanProductions]

Steve Forest Eric did change them because the facts of the universe have changed since 1983, but even so, Brian Cox still thinks they're inaccurate.

Did the world get dumber when we lost Hawking, or did the cosmos get smarter?

[@5610winston]

I ran the numbers. Sorry, Professor H, but a million miles a day works out closer to 40,00 miles an hour (41,666 2/3 to be more accurate) than 400,000.

[@cainster]

Both.

[@trevorgale1176]

Actually, if some of the energy is geothermal, from the radioactive decay of uranium, I thought the source of the uranium and other heavy elements were supernova and are violent stellar events. So then Python were right.
