h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ermmm, a bit blokey this one(so ladies may not appreciate it...unless you are that way inclined) but a) it's one of my all time favourite songs that doesn't have a video to it and b) she does the song justice and sort of fulfills the lyrics...oh, and 40years old? wowsers!

(turn the speakers up!)

Interesting that this (along with other Kutiman mashups) has caused a bit of a furor on Youtube but here it hasn't even caused a comment.

What most people fail to realise is that he creates original songs from clips (sometimes just individual notes, chords or one beat at a time) from other people's posts. I think it's genius.

One love:

Great Minds clearly think alike!
