About

WARNING: The following text is extremely Dull. Proceed with caution, o ye with senses of humor.

Although this is not classified by the author as an animutation, it does contain animutational motifs and is heavily influenced by the "look" of animutations.

Animutation buffs will appreciate this movie by the way that it makes fun of a piece of music by reinterpreting it in a different context, as animutations tend to. The way in which the visuals often play amusingly on the lyrics is also of an animutational spirit.

The hidden bonus footage at the end includes a Colin Mochrie cameo.

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour 9:00 a.m.
And I'm gonna be hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
As a kite by then

I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a tiiiiiiiiiimeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, number.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, number.
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Hey, I can see my house from here!
