- Intro song to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Anytime I wanted to listen to the song I'd come here, but an HD version of could never be found. Alas, here it is!
Enjoy.
(Don't forget your towel) - Комедії
When the film was still in development, Douglas Adams wrote a letter to the studio execs saying he’d really like to be involved but had been having trouble reaching them. He ended the letter with, “Anyway, I’ve included a few phone numbers by which you can reach me. If still can’t reach me, I shall know that you are trying very hard not to.” followed by two pages’ worth of phone numbers that included places like “Restaurants I Might Conceivably Be At” and “Supermarkets I’ve Been Known To Shop At”. 😂
No replies? Hell, I've looked at ALL of these numbers as well as all the emergency numbers such as 911 and 000 and oh my and all I want is the phone numbers of the dolphins who are leaving this planet! Help!
Adams co-wrote the screenplay with Karey Kirkpatrick but died in 2001, before production began. Kirkpatrick used what notes Adams had left, finding that Adams was willing to go off the book's narrative to adapt to the film. He considered his screenplay something in the spirit that Adams had set out based on the whole of Adams' work. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was released in 2005.
Silly
And then they had him whacked with the heart attack gun.
By my count, there's the original radio play, the television miniseries, the books, the text adventure video game, and this movie. No two are alike. They pretty much always start with Arthur waking up, sitting in front of the bulldozer, going to the pub and being beamed up by vogons with Ford, then being ejected into space to only be very improbably picked up by the Heart of Gold with Zaphod and Trillian. Paths diverge from there, sometimes going on the same adventures in different orders, or throwing in unique ones.
And yet somehow no version is definitive or "canon." Because somehow it doesn't matter. It's really just a vehicle for Addams to opine and satirize over. @@VladMarkov
In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and has widely been seen as a bad move.
you're a bad move
What? it's not his movie, are you sure your english is alright?
I need to admit the movie is so fucking awesome i loved it but the ones who have read the book may have a good argument about the plot but the music, the camera, the narrator made this movie an awesome piece worth two or three rewatches
Rokdri i read the book then the movie and love both equally. The whole point of both was how hilarious they are!
Don't Panic
You know you're in for a trip of a film, when it starts with dolphins singing about the end of the world
and then proceeding to fly into space
😂❤
AND Stephen Fry's voice.
@@FernandoBarajasOk.
yuh
Given how 2020 has gone thus far, I’m listening real close to the dolphins.
you need a babel fish mate
@Jock McSporran no not yet, that's why they went to space
You should listen to the Chinese, bro.
Man 2022 is even worse my friend and it’s just started
Ayo we made it to 2022 im suprised about that so ya
Important note: The dolphins depicted in this film actually had voice actors sing their lines, as their voices were too valuable to waste on a movie.
Also, as implied in the song, they had not yet learned to sing.
No dolphins were harmed when the Earth was destroyed during the making of the film.
2 defeats - The Miami Dolphins😂
Don’t panic
if i could choose a song to listen to during the end of the world, i would choose this song
Me too
fien Van Dingenen Yep, seriously!
+Malcolm Tucker so long, and thanks for all the fish.
+fien Van Dingenen yep
Seems like the seventh symphony of Beethoven is a popular choice too .
"The world's about to be destroyed, no reason getting all annoyed; Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you"
This destroys me for some reason
yeah humor and sarcasm are great ways to get your point across...this needs to be played at every global warming conference to help make people laugh and want to save the world b4 it's too late :)
Because it's true atm.
Well...
You're the world?
Sylph yeah
I just finished reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Can't believe it took me 42 years before I finally read it.
Sounds like precisely the correct amount of time, units notwithstanding.
42! Perfect timing 😉🙃
Precisely the correct time. I myself read it at 21 which is the half of 42. Hence I must have known the meaning to life, the universe and everything in half the time you did. But now that you know, you know.
But did you figure out why 42 is the meaning to life the universe and everything? 😂😂😂😂
Ok, your comment make laugh.
April 2020: Dolphins leave earth
Does that mean that the earth will be destroyed?
Happy Easter
@@mitzyloulou To make way for a hyperspatial bypass. It really sucks living on a planet that's situated in the unfashionable backwater of the galaxy.
Aprille Heddington There’s no point getting all annoyed
@@mitzyloulou jggjhtn
It had to be extremely fun to record this song
Exactly
I haven't seen any dolphins lately...
they are all here in Italy , far away from *in a croaky voice* the woman from Italy
Italy was just the place for their fair we’ll party
They are self-quarantining in outer space
Just saw a group of them in a bay if the coast of texas. We chillin
Sam Holt in fact, dolphins don’t even exist
This movie was a little hit-and-miss for me, a diehard Hitchhiker's fan, but this opening sequence was absolute gold. One of my favorite intros of any movie, ever.
Duneedon It was a modest success but it's not successful enough.
Crimson Clarity I just wish he'd kept both heads. (Spoilers!)
Hit or miss? I guess they never miss, huh?
I G U E S S T H E Y N E V E R M I S S, H U H?
I thought Ford was miscasted. They needed someone more sarcastic.
I feel like I should play this next time I leave a seafood restaurant
so fucking right

When I was in the eighth grade, I did a presentation on Douglas Adams for this project and I showed this video. A few people laughed but it was arguably the most awkward moment in my entire life. I got ten points taken off for that. Totally worth it, though.
+Meara Phelps Whoever took away ten points from you should have their teaching license revoked.
+NYCPunk it meant so much to me that I think I overstepped the blurred lines of relevance with the addition of the video, at least in her eyes. Thanks for sharing my spite though haha
some people just don't get comedy
if you Google "Meara Phelps Prezi" you can see the presentation haha
The presentation made me sad. I hadn't seen that interview yet. Great work, though. When I was in 7th grade, I did a book project on The Guide. I was given a D because the teacher was convinced, but couldn't prove, that I copied it from NPR. My response (keep in mind I was 13 when I did this), "What's NPR?"
The complete Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is the only book I've ever read that made me giggle out loud while reading it. Hell even the forward is hilarious and will make you laugh. What a great writer Douglas Adams was. R.I.P. for you have made us smile.
I agree. I secretly read it in class. It was my only entertainment in a bus. People thought I was crazy when I laughed out loud. I love this book.
Read My family and Other animals, It will make you laugh to
Dusty Boyd was there 4th and 5th because somebody said there were?
You should read Lamb by Christopher Moore.
It's the gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal.
You’d love 'The Meaning of Liff'
"If I had just one last wish, I would like a tasty fish" I felt that.
Ong. Now I want some fresh tuna or shrimp.
♫if I could have just one last wish ♫ I would like a tasty fish♫
I love singing that bit and pretending I am the dolphin singing it :)
@@teamcrumb that. is. cute.
This is one of those songs you sing in the shower, on a sunny day, when you're in a good mood and covered in bubbles.
Happy Easter to all the people in 2020 April
The narration should have read like this:
On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons.
I can imagine. I attempted to watch the movie and couldn't go through it after about 10 minutes seeing how far off from the book they went.
Um, the movie was meant to be a big middle finger to the original fans in the first place. In his later life, Duoglas became a very toxic atheist because of evolution theory. That's something everyone wants to forget and the movie willingly adapted it. It's even mentioned in this very song.
I like turtles toxic atheist for believing in evolution???
I like turtles Wot?
@@iliketurtles2531 Here we observe a very offended Christian,who is triggered by the fact that atheists exist. Chill out man, atheists are fine as long as they don't harm you. And,might I ask,where did you get the "toxic" part?
When the dolphins fly into the sky we all know
Were f*cked....
They pulled an Echo on us
so long and thanks for the fishhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
That Cook With A Minigun As in Ecco the Dolphin? Loved those games.
Darkenfell Stormfire Yeah, thanks for correcting the name
Global Warming!
I really wish more people would read this book, or actually, just books in general. This is a fantastic one.
OstracizedEmu I order a book which is all 5 books
I just came in the mail
OstracizedEmu The book is amazing. Not just the comedy, but it builds a world around the characters so amazingly. Making it feel like things could go on without those characters, but at the same time making it feel like the characters are the key-element to the story. The movie was disappointing to be honest and I can't say it's just the fact that world building in movies is hard, but the fact they got rid of key comedic moments that built upon the first book's greatness. The casting was--I would say for the most part--good, thought I'm still iffy on Zaphod's performance and special FX. The things they changed weren't terrible, but they weren't good either. And watching it with someone who never read any of the books, I figured it wasn't just me who didn't particularly get a good laugh. Maybe a small chuckle here and there, but nothing boisterous like I commonly would at the book.
Now, I must go. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
person o' stuff Because the movie was decent does'nt mean it's bad. This movie is underrated than other movies that we know today such as IT and other book-to-movie adaptations, which they're overrated at least. Well, the book has many errors when I read the book with the Ñ letter on each word but I believe it's the best. The movie was not bad but the BBC series is much remarkable than the movie.
I read the book it was great
Read the first one. It was beautiful and quite funny
“Sure, 2020’s been pretty bad. But hey, at least April can’t be any worse!”
*April, 2020:* 1:51
Did the book actually say that would happen in 2020? I can’t remember. If so, I find that to be hilarious given the present state of the world
The Aztec’s said that the end of the world would be in 2012. According to the Aztecs, this year is 2012 for them.
Unfold Eighteen 1.) No they didn’t, that was the Mayans. 2.) There is ample archeological evidence to suggest that they were drawing up plans to continue the calendar when they were all killed by rival civilizations. Miss us with your click bait fear mongering.
@@lr4331 Not the end of the world. Just the end of a cycle. The third one in fact
Sorry to disappoint you, buddy. I'm posting this comment right now September 2020, and the world right now is seriously FCKD!
Nice to know the dolphins will bail on us at the first sign of trouble...
but...they will be very grateful for all our fish, so see, there is an upside.
that wasn't the first sign of trouble though, remember they tried to communicate.
L.E.T.C What you mean that double back flip?
wasn't the double back-flip their final message?
Lone Wanderer Yep. Fuck that shit. No point trying to salvage the planet when the silly humans can't even understand them.
no one is gonna mention the AMAZING BRUTAL PERFECT arrangements? The harmonization level in this song is off the charts

You know how respected this song should be?
- It should be nominated an Osar, an Emmy and alot of other things for best song.
- This must be played in every seafood restaurant in the world once a day
- This song should also be played 12 minutes before the end of class, work, etc and the end of the world
- Any water park with dolphin attractions in it should play this song
- It also should win alot of Grammys
Also whenever a animal that eats fish (including humans) is sent into space this song plays louder than the actual rocket
Agree with all of them, except the water parks; those need to close down (and I'm pretty sure the late Douglas Adams would agree.)
@@deltav864 pretty sure that as a libertarian, he would have said that people should be able to do what they like, including going to a water park.
@@joeduffy6851 I think that as an environmental activist he would've despised the parks if he knew the animal abuse associated with it.
@@deltav864 I wouldn't know, I've been to many water parks here in Europe and none that I've been to have had live animals. I'm sure they exist, but live animal performances are not inherent to the existence of water parks. Just a bunch of hoomans drinking each others' pee 🙃
this will definitely be played at my funeral.. don't be sad..so long and thanks for all the fish ; )
Mac Dre same:)
Don’t panic... só long and thanks for all the fish
Right on!!😂😂
Best movie intro ever
I third that
I fourth that
+TheeChosunWun
fun movie, diverse cast, alan rickman as a depressed robot
Exactly.
original bbd six part series is better. jmo
This was where I knew I'd absolutely love this movie, no matter what differences there were from the book.
"So long and thanks for all the fish" was my last words to my father before I moved out.
You are an excellent specimen of the human race.
I'm seeing articles that dolphins have returned to the Venice Canals in Italy due to human inactivity. First thing I thought of was this song.
Same!
Like the movie or not, this song is amazing.
who doesn't like this movie anyway?
Verbindungsfehle movie was shit compared to the book
@@Verbindungsfehle Compared to the radio, book, and TV versions it was awful. It was just way too frantic to be enjoyable.
@@Verbindungsfehle I didn't
@@MagnusSkiptonLLC Really? I've actually read the books too and I thought it was quite good and hit the spirit of the series quite well
Dolphin 1 “hey do you think that our ability to literally leap into orbit would have a better chance of getting their attention?
Dolphin 2- “Nah, just try hitting the football again”
'The world’s most intelligent species'.
Hey now they are the second most intelligent they can make mistakes....haha
...f'n hilarious 😂😂😂
*Second most
Not fair :D lol
i mean there's the rats
Can you imagine how hard it was for them to sing this with a straight face after seeing the lyrics?., you can almost hear them teetering on the edge of just losing it because it was actually that funny. And I am speaking as a die-hard long time Douglas Adams fan
They just fucking left. They jumped out of the ocean into space and just *left*. I love this damn movie.
I don't usually cry during movies, but the fucking dolphins ascending, man. Y'all were my constants and now you've pissed off somewhere. It was actually emotional for me.
You've got to love how this song starts out all awesome and badass, like it's a platoon about to go into battle. Then the lyrics come and it's just 'nope, we gone. BYYYYYE!'
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Editor missing, presumed fed.
I love to imagine our choir performing this song. Once we start, people in full-body dolphin costumes sashay towards middle stage.
I'd like to dedicate this song to the ending year
I played this on 21 december 2012. making my friends scared about the EOTW crap
And the ending of the world.
we are now in that timeline
ptronic I listened to it in November of 2012!
I hope you have a good 2019 😊
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all that your dead
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
Grow around you
So long, so long and thanks
For all the fish
The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve(around you)
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks
For all the fish

I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learned to sing.

You got the words wrong
"We tried to warn you all but Oh Dear

I keep coming back. Thanks for posting.
To all those who might be concerned that the movie doesn't match the books.... Don't Panic!
DA did that on purpose. These stories have existed as BBC Radio, BBC TV, Books, Audio book adaptations, and now a film. NONE of them tell the stories the same way. It's part of the fun! Enjoy.
I've had this song stuck in my head for 7 years and I've finally found it again
No malice, no hard feelings, no hatred for us.
Just acceptance.
Left my job and quoted this😊
This doesn't fail to give me goosebumps every time! It's so good to hear such satiric song after years passed since I read the book IT IS JUST SO GREAT
Recent Sequels made to:
Finding Nemo
Avengers
Ghostbusters
Jurassic Park
Star Wars
Terminator
Harry Potter
Independence Day
etc.
But no sequel to the one movie that actually needs one?
Ghostbusters wasn't a sequel it was a piece of shit remake. A Queef Joke was in the first 10 minutes of the movie........................................................
they can't do a sequal, Alan Rickman is dead, marvin would not be the same
FPSLiverpool gamingchannel They made a remake of Ghostbusters, though.
Everyone'sFavoriteCritic and it was awful
Yeah cause Ghostbusters never had any crude jokes in it...
I've instructed my kids to play this at my funeral!
I routinely tell people to “just lie back and let the planet dissolve around you” and I had honestly forgotten that this is where I got it from
I restarted the movie thrice just to hear this song over and over
Same here....
3 times here. this.is.the.best.thing.ever :)
oh yess
I hope you didn't work as a cinema projectionist.
Same. 3 times (for the movie) on my laptop and alot of time (for only the song) on my phone
I laughed like a little child through this whole movie. Love this song. Need to read the books now
A perfect circle brings me here
Lol me two
Hip hip hooray!
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
And that song had nothing at all to do with this. Pissed me off

I freaking love the fact that the narrator for hhgttg is the same narrator from little big planet. He has such an awesome voice for narration.
Stephen Fry. He also narrated the HHGTTG audiobook (the one based on this film, not the original).
I get this song stuck in my head at least once a month. Why ? I have no idea, but it's living rent free in there.
Art in its purest form.
This song should have won an oscar.
An incredible opening to one of the best films ever.
You might now that there is a software company called "Novell". Our school used its German mail service, called "groupwise". A few days ago, groupwise got replaced with another service. Every user reveived a mail from groupwise, saying goodybe and apologising for all problems such as server crashes, that happened from time to time, formulated as if the service itself wrote it. The mail ended with "So long and thanks for all the fish"
This just pops into my head once every few months and it never gets any less comical
Dolphins returning to Italy be like:
what
For all the people saying the coronavirus is the end of the world, I want to remind you we're seeing *more* dolphins now, not less.
That's all you need on a resignation letter.

2022 isn't looking good for this as well...
how fitting, my wife turned 42 last year.
then later on in the year i see:
“so long and thanks for all the fish”
I thought this was one of the best fun and witty sci-fi movies ever made.
I watched this for the first time last night and just thought it was pure genius
Best intro to a movie ever!! I never get over of watching it
I have watched this 10 times and it never gets old
lol the perfect graduation song
got this song in my spotify discover list and i was so baffled and delighted. Knowing that its dolphins singing before flying into the night has me equally baffled and delighted.
Douglas Adams was the bomb! He wrote two episodes of Doctor Who and then kept it up with this piece of glorious writing. A man seriously missed! LEGEND!!
Last night I watched this movie and have been singing this all day. You know a movie's good when it makes u want to rewatch it over and over again, which is exactly what I want to do now
Same here!!!
When I first saw this movie, part of me was hoping for a reprise when the Earth blew up.
when my younger brother and i were little back in the early 2000s, we absolutely loved this so much, we'd ask mom to turn on the movie so much- we saw this so many times we could practically quote the entire movie by memory.
Dang I loved it when I got to that point in the book and all of the credits rolled and the music played. Best part of the book.
You know, this is not my favorite movie, hell it's not even in my top ten, but god damn this has to be the best intro to a movie at all time.
how can you dislike this masterpiece???
God, Dougless Adams had such an amazing sense of humor.
Time, is an illusion. Lunch time is a double illusion
Ford Prefect
The water looks so lovely...😁
I sent this song to all the employees of a company on the day I quit...
The company desolved shortly there after... so fitting
I've been moving from job to job a lot since covid, this has unfortunately been my anthem for the past couple years
Goddamnit, why didn't we listen to the dolphins...
One of the best opening in a movie ever
I watched it today and it’s my new favorite song
Anyone who says this "isn't as good as the book" missed the entire point of Douglas Adams' humour.
How did I not know this existed?!!
This song comes to mind whenever I leave someone, for one reason or another.
It doesn't make lyrical sense, but it's still satisfying to hum along to.
0:47 Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons.
So relevant currently lol.
I'd almost forgotten how much I loved this movie. And the books too, but... this song just makes me giddy. XD
I wanna watch Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy soooooooo bad now had the song stuck in my head for awhile
"You may not share our intellect,
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow around you"
Boy is that more and more real with every passing day. I keep thinking that it'd be a lot happier of an ending for the species on Earth to be able to escape to space instead of burning up and being choked to death over here.
"It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the third most intelligent. The second most intelligent creatures, were of course dolphins who, curiously enough, had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth. They had made many attempts to alert mankind to the danger, but most of their communications were misinterpreted as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits. So they eventually decided they would leave Earth by their own means. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling "the Star-Spangled Banner", but in fact, the message was this: [dolphin freeze-frames in mid-air] "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
"Things are NOT what they seem to be. The problem lies with the "seeming" part, it can be pretty convincing. And that's kind of the point of the whole thing!"-John Duran
3:31 That should've just easily said "Based on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams", because the franchise originated as a radio series for the BBC before it became a book. And then a six-episode run TV series and then this.
“So long and thanks for all the fish” was my senior quote
Just, for the love of god, don't forget your towel
Gave my two weeks notice at work and have this song repeating in my head all week
Good God this song is catchy
