Here's my take on the situation:
Apologies to Monty Python and NASA... but it's waaaay past time that the Galaxy Song had a makeover. Here's my offering.
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

It's a very simple concept I'm afraid to say - nothing very artistic or inspired. I thought it would be fun to illustrate the songs with appropriate pics, as I'm currently bored and sleepless.
Must learn how to sleep again...
How about a thread that involves the 'Brave Sir Robin' song from HG?
I managed to kill the last Python thread by doing exactly that. But seeing as you asked so nicely:
just wanted to clarify, that i said i didn't have anything else to add, because,well, that's it really: i didn't have anything else to say. NOT because i was unimpressed, as you assumed. please don't read anything more into my words than there was.
