Lyrics and then some: Oh freddled gruntbuggly,Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)As plurdled gabbleblotchits, in midsummer morningOn a lurgid bee,That mordiously hath blurted out,Its earted jurtles, grumblingInto a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.

So I asked this of Bing. Could the xenomorph survive Poetry. This was the response: To answer your question, it is unlikely that the drone from Alien: Isolation could survive vogon poetry. Although the xenomorphs are immune to most man-made weapons, they are not immune to sound. In fact, sound is one of the ways that they locate their prey, as they have excellent hearing. Therefore, vogon poetry would probably affect them in a similar way as it does humans, causing them extreme discomfort and distress. It is possible that the drone would try to escape or attack the source of the sound, but if it was forced to listen to the entire poem, it might die from the sheer agony of it. Alternatively, it might go insane and become even more violent and unpredictable.
Actually, Disaster Area is the loudest thing in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It starts at 2:10 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/PQjgMF_20dE/v-deo.html
"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. Amen!" is what I be praying if I was stuck listening to this so called "Poem"!
Excuse me for my obvious ignorance but how is it that Arthur isn't affected or doesn't seem to be affected by the vogans poetry. I've always wondered about this for a long time.
He came from Earth, which made the worst poetry. If humans dont instantly die from the worst poet in the universe, then they wont die, nor be found with severe damage done to them, through any alien poetry...
or maybe its got to do with his brain, the mice were keen to get it by taking it out of his skull. So he should be lucky that he didn't try to break his legs to escape the torture.
I shat on this movie more than I should have. It's a logical mutation of the story as it passes to the film medium.. It mutated from the radio play into the book, and it mutated from the book into the BBC series... it then mutated into a bunch of regrettable book sequels and finally a wide-release feature film. This version is not worse than vogon poetry. it is, in fact, not as good as any fan could possibly imagine it. Myself included, but there are very poetic nods to me (as a longtime fan). Watching it now, I regret being such a bitch about it. I would love to see more movies with this cast. They actually did a good job.
I must say that Poem was pretty good. I especialy loved that middle part, it just flows with Creativity and whatnot. I seriously dont get what they mean with "Worst Poetry in the Galaxy". (Note, i understand nearly all languages not sproken by Humans. Thats why i avoid Alive Animals ... especialy large numbers.)
Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in my Armpit One Midsummer Morning Putty. Putty. Putty. Green Putty - Grutty Peen. Grarmpitutty - Morning! Pridsummer - Grorning Utty! Discovery..... Oh.

This is why the movie was such a disappointment. Even though the original TV series is hilariously dated and Lo Fi by comparison, it understood how to highlight Douglas Adams’jokes and words In a way that this Director did not.

it reminds me of democrats lol

It sounded way worse in the book, this is actually an improvement
Only because we missed most of it from the narrator talking over it...
It was abridged for the audiences' safety. It's a PG movie, after all!
Plus they skipped over the electronic enhancements that made sure not a single nuance of the poets thoughts were lost.
That is because human Ca
NNOT read Vogon Poetry, even if they are dressed up as a Vogon.
It’s vogon poetry the only improvement that can happen is if you stop having eardrums
I recited this for an English teacher who wanted us to memorize a poem. I ended up with a case of stage fright and this was all I could remember.
Good thing you didn’t, some people may have suffered like Ford did lol

i still can't stop laughing about the fact that this is used as LITERAL torture
I know....It's possibly even more funny than the CIA using the Meow Mix jingle to torture their prisoners!
Suckiness is painful.
I get it now😂
I love how Arthur just doesn't even get it
He DID come from the planet which made the worst poetry.... To him, it was plausibly just seen as mildly annoying.
What do you mean. That is the worst part about it.

Its a puppet, its not cgi :-)
Believe it or not the Vogons in this movie are puppets, practical effects

Is that Stephan Fry narrating this?
Yes it is
