Remember that awesome Carl Sagan autotuned music video from a few weeks ago? Everyone's favorite astronomer is back with his second chart-breaking single, and this time, he has a little help from his pals Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Bill Nye -- indeed, the Science Guy. I don't think it's quite as catchy as his previous song, but I will say that no matter how you feel about autotuning, the use of it promote Carl Sagan and his posse is 100% acceptable, correct?

I grew up in love with Bill Nye, but never heard that line of his about the cosmos and the sheer size of everything, even through the autotune you could hear the passion from what he was saying. Gave me chills!
I really like this

I also appreciate the attention to detail with the syncing of the voices and the images. I like that they snap moved the clips when they could to match up the speaker with the audio track. I can't stand it when someone edits a video clip and the image gets out of sync with the audio.

Say what you want, Rob. But I was glued to this one. I think it was far better than the first one you posted. I really thought this was well done. In fact, I listened to it twice.
Thx!

Carl Sagan and Bill Nye are two of the most influential people in my childhood who helped me become interested in science. This video is fucking brilliant.

That shit was BAWLA!!!
I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson give a lecture once he got so excited that he tore the knee open on his pant leg. He was just like "fuck it!", and kept dropping mad astrophysics knowledge.
These guys are what they call the best of the best. We are their fans, and we lvoe their work.

Using autotuning to promote science is a little like feeding starving puppies with ham sandwiches you bought from OCP.

I think Richard Feynman and Bill Nye really stood out in this one. They were much more musical.
Not as good as the first, but good nonetheless.

I loved this (and the previous one) as much as any other nerd. However, I need to point out that Carl Sagan's autotuned singing voice sounds exactly like Ernie's (you know, of Sesame Street). I expect him to sing about rubber duckies. It's slightly awesome, but slightly off putting.

This song is the message that needs to be spread, man. When you start laying down the science, people act like you are trying to drag humanity down to some theoretically un-special level, when in fact, you are only trying to hip them to how RAD and AWESOME the real universe is, and how much MORE special we are to be a part of it. I don't know if that made sense, but it's what I've been living on recently. I'm PUMPED to be a small part of the HUGENESS!!!

So what your saying is that now matter how tiny your cock and balls are, they are actually HUGE since they are all part of a larger thing called the universe and all it's atoms?
;P

These two videos are seriously some of the best things ever. My friend is now addicted to them and has the songs on infinite repeat.
