Excellent use of auto-tune!
And vocoding.
I think Carl would have enjoyed this. He was an awesome guy.
Bump!
Now there is a whole series of autotuned, science related videos all done by the same musician, they are all very well done.
Here are the next two, you can get to the rest from there:

Ahhhhhhhh I remember when I was a kid me and my dad used to watch Sagan's Cosmos series. I was around 12 or 13 and just old enough to understand most of it. Totally blew my mind and still does.
Not ashamed to say that Sagan's voice instantly brings on waves of nostalgia... :)
He really could build that sense of wonder.
I briefly considered attending Cornell because of Carl. Then I learned that he rarely spent time in the classroom. Meh. I didn't have the money anyway, even if I did have the grades.
I read all of his books, though. Especially loved Demon Haunted World. And Cosmic Connection. And Dragons of Eden. And Broca's Brain ...
Sagan has this cadence in his wording that is exceptional, but when autotuned, he sounds like Kermit the Frog with a PhD.
As good as his nonfiction is, I wish he had also written more fiction. Contact is one of my favorite sci-fi books, and it is as far as I know his only work of fiction.
