Oh my, I'd kill for a flac rip of this and the other marvin songs. I wonder if anyone still has the masters or would be willing to do a proper vinyl rip.

RIP Stephen Moore
Marvin, we still love you.
Back in early 80's used to hear this song on doctor demento radio show. Brings back good memories.
me too. had it on one of MANY mixtapes. Hate I lost them.
Literally had a cassette tape I recorded from Dr Demonto with this song on it. The memories!
Don't be sad, Marvin. We all love you.
In 2004 I learned about limewire as a 14 year old. Then I found this because the hgttg movie came out around this time and I was looking for so long and thanks for all the fish. Amazing to always be able to find it again
I feel bad for Marvin and at least there's some loving him out there I hope he can meet her in the future
He is the oldest thing in existence, being many times older than the universe itself through a sting of highly improbable events
Yep ... Dr. Demento is where I first heard this song! Love it!
same
As a human that has no personal beauty; this tale makes me feel happy. Maybe I need a rocket ship.
"Long ago, in another galaxy
There lived a gloomy robot
His name was Marvin
He was getting old and a bit rusty
And nobody liked him
One day, being very bored
He thought it would be a good idea
To tidy up all of his old programs
In his dusty old databank
There were tapes in there
He hadn't played for years
Checking them through,
He accidentally pushed a wrong button
And suddenly he heard
Voice:
Marvin, I love you
Marvin, I love you
Well, he was sure he hadn't
Heard that ever before
He wasn't even sure he'd heard it that time
Because being a bored and gloomy robot
He hadn't really been listening
What was worse, he couldn't remember
What button he'd accidentally pressed
Anyway, he tried a few switches at random
And suddenly
Voice:
Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
I know we're worlds apart
Still you couldn't break my heart
Loving you is all I can do
Well, he heard it that time all right, no doubt about it
Who was singing these strange words?
Was it another robot?
Or some strange lifeform from the distant past
When he was a young robot and people still made
The occasional attempt to like him?
He couldn't make it out at all
So, he pushed a few buttons again
Voice:
Marvin, I love you
Marvin, I love you
That was it
Voice:
I tried to contact Marvin
I don't know why, but he never replied
Perhaps one day he'll answer.
Till then I guess I'll keep on trying
Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
'Does not compute' he thought miserably
But at least he knew where to find it in his databank
From then on he could play it whenever he wanted
Think about what he'd missed
And live miserably ever after
Voice:
Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you
Remember, I'm programmed for you
I know we're worlds apart
Still you couldn't break my heart
Loving you is all I can do
Marvin, I love you
Marvin I love you"
and from there, silence...
Tapes. How quaint.
Thank you, very helpful! I love this song ❤
The Marvin we remember, Androids with genuine people personalities.
2022 and a random comment from a friend made me look up this song I haven’t heard since the 90’s
And now I'm thoroughly depressed. Love, don't talk to me about love...
Perhaps one day youll answer
til then I guess
Ill keep on
trying...
Oh my, I'd kill for a flac rip of this and the other marvin songs. I wonder if anyone still has the masters or would be willing to do a proper vinyl rip.
Still waiting for all of us @ The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, parking cars... ~ ;-} rap.
Makes me sad, actually.
Ditto.
I feel this song very differently from most apparently. =/
long ago in another galaxy!
Depressing as ushual
Sounds Mono not stereo!
