Catch the latest video from Professor Karmadillo – a song about the rovers crawling around the surface of Mars.

You can read the lyrics about Curiosity et al roaming around Mars whilst watching the video at the Professor Karmadillo website – or just watch it and pay attention to the David Bowie influenced lyrics here!

I’ve written one Star Trek inspired song, but here (in a roundabout way) is another, though slightly more serious in nature.

The source of the inspiration is George Takei’s hilarious response to anti-gay bully Clint McCance, former Arkansas school board member who called for more gays teens to kill themselves. You can watch that here.

And here is the song it inspired. Its slightly ironic that the video I made a couple of weeks ago was about dead teenagers rising from the grave, whereas one facet of this one is encouraging teenagers not to top themselves.

The Trevor Project, referenced to in the video, is here.
