In case you thought the Futurama theme song seemed familiar, you may have heard it before back in France in 1964:

As a futurama fan, I found this video historic and fasinating.
Awesome
Freaky video though

Messe pour le temps present
I actually had that album when I was young. That tune (Psyché Rock) was real popular for a while.
pity "Psyche Rock" is just a rip off
Too bad "Psyche Rock" is just an instrumental knock off of Wild Thing by the Troggs.

Oh, I KNEW I know it from
Oh, I KNEW I know it from somewhere! Very nice song, such easy and fun to play.
pity none the more: Wild Thing is just a rip off...
of "Love is All Around." by The Troggs. Nice chord progression in any song. Write your own cool sounding song with this chord progression including tubular bell instrumentation and perhaps you too can create your own cool sounding tune. But, you must share it with the rest of us. And, I do mean ALL, of us. So, freeze yourself until time machine available, go back before time, invent time, music, tubular bells, music videos, cartoons, genetically engineer Matt Groening and, whammo, instant additional coolness for us all. That's how I did it and, you can bite my shiney metal ass!
There are two versions
1. Animated electronic parts that look like like jellyfish
2. Norm McLaren film painting
Both are very different but compelling . . .

Here is another vid where the tune was used, drug in those days was certainly good...
Andre Vandal
That's King Crimson
Huh? The link to the video you gave Cosmic is cover of a King Crimson tune from the album The court of the Crimson King. A 60's staple! Either that was a cut'n'paste mistake or perhaps you were on something when you did it. (Good stuff?) In any case it was a cool link. Don't see that kind of 'ballet' too often.

The court of the Crimson King
About three quater of the vid in it stars playing Psyché Rock
Andre Vandal
My bad!
I guess you figured out that I did not play it all the way trhough. My bad. I'll go in the corner and 'feel shame' for 2 minutes.
