A popular new YouTube video is turning Carl Sagan into a funky hipster — even in his traditional professorial corduroy jacket and anachronistic mop-top.
"A Glorious Dawn: (Cosmos Remixed)" features the PBS star and scientist joining fellow genius Stephen Hawking in a new age rap ballad about the universe and humankind's effort to explore it. Composed by John Boswell for his Colorpulse website, you can download the track for free here.
The late, legendary Sagan was known for his deliberate, nasal vocal tone, his tendency to describe science in poetic metaphors, and for being pretty much the smartest guy ever to stand in any room anywhere. Period.
You can't help believe that the man who commanded Cosmos' Starship of the Imagination would whole-heartedly approve of hearing his mission sung to the 21st century.
