H2G2: So Long and Thanks for All the Fish - Jazz version

[@WillieManga]

The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the "Star Spangled Banner", but in fact the message was this:

[@mygills3050]

I just realized. The square of colored balls on the cover at the beginning isn’t a square. It’s a 6 by 7. how did I not realize this sooner

What a great song. I love the upbeat jazzy Broadway musical vibe that underlies the apocalyptic lyrics.

I have a second by second vision of this song. It is so intense and the same every time. It is a prime time dance sequence with tap dance and costumes and the back curtain comes up during the key change and there are even more dancers coming down in concentric circles with costumes on, ya'll, i visualize this every time, and the guy winks at the end and then turns into a dolphin and swims away. it is THE BEST visual ever

[@codyholland9693]

This sounds like something you’d read in the books

[@mygills3050]

You’re seeing the credits sequence

[@KeelyBurnMusic]

Just (re)watched this movie last night. Halfway through the credits I realized I recognized this voice... Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy! I love his music and it tickled me to hear him singing a song from one of my favorite stories ever (I can't pin Hitchhiker's Guide down to one medium, it's great in all of its various adaptations).

[@jay_p]

[@noahpitcher]

this is a beautiful creation

[@McPhersonBassMaster]

Technically, even with it being the original, it's Jazzy, thereby making this the Jazz Version of the song, even if it is the original. Which means that the guy who put up this video is still correct, and he doesn't have to change it at all.

[@tami.3806]

This song is beautiful!! :')

[@iangresswell6648]

I got this song on the dvd of the hickhucher guide to the gaxley

[@dspenc3503]

Not necessarily, the original has a different last verse if we remember: If I had just one last wish I would like a tasty fish If we could just change one thing We would all have learned to sing Come one and all Man and mammal Side by side

[@classic952]

Still the one movie that ACTUALLY made me smarter.

[@xxxXLopesXxxx]

I NEED to know who composed this. Someone?

[@Carmen-ze3wo]

+Pedro Lopes Wikipedia says this "The first version of the song "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" is a Broadway-style, lively version sung by the dolphins before they leave Earth. The second plays over the end credits and is in the style of Smooth jazz. The song was written by English composer Joby Talbot, conductor Christopher Austin, and director Garth Jennings and performed by the Tenebrae Choir. Neil Hannon, founder and frontman of the Irish pop group The Divine Comedy, of which Talbot is a former member, lent his vocals to the version of the song played during the end credits. " and this "The enclosed booklet includes acknowledgements from Joby Talbot and notes on the creation of the song "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish", written by Garth Jennings.[citation needed]". Sorry about the block.

[@JackTheCoookie]

I'm gonna say thank you in place of the guy you answered to ;) Helped me too!

[@josephsdale3724]

Er...TENEBRAE Choir??!! Doesn't that mean...uh...Darkness....???

[@MrProtjes]

No, the version used in the film at the start is a remake of this song. This song was made by neil hannon, the original composer and creator of this song. So change the title please to (original) not (jazz version) because it is not.

[@Jay-to7yz]

well i mean it IS the jazz version, original or no

[@atrociousbanana7808]

wait a sec, you're a portal fan... AND a doctor who fan? dude we are, like, brothers or something!

[@mistykohtakangas]

[@janpm1]

I love this song but is there a better version? Maybe a Flac-File? This seems to be 128 kbit and it's really bad on big speakers.

[@MrEriklenn]

3 people don't know where their towels are

[@Streiben]

Streiben has 8 letters. eight has 5 letters. Five has 4 letters. four has 4 letters has 4 letters has 4... so, it's 4. Because 42 = 4+2= 6 =3 = 5 = 4.

[@thebadcriticiser1455]

there are 42 characters in "answer to life the universe and everything"

[@sekirk]

@Liam Manson HELL YES I had the same idea, we could all stand in a chorus and do it

Why are "this", "was", "an", "assignement", "Dutch", "yay" and "meditation" tags lol?

why is there so many videos related to this that involve religion being stupid? why does a good book series and a good movie have to be surrounded by stuff like that? Cant we just accept other people's beliefs and just get over it?

[@gabesantiago3074]

Agreed! (y)

[@LapzPortal]

It's kind of related to Adams opinion about religion. See, he considered himself as a radical atheist and his books are filled with joke about religion, same kind of joke the Monty Python do in their movie.

I see....
