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.

Real Lyrics

Fake

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!

Trivia

• Right click and press play for an easter egg. The movie also contains the traditional Andrew Kepple commentary.
• This is the first animutation to be "sung" by a text to speech program. The second is 10/26/07.
• The song sings "Oh no no number" because Microsoft Sam mistook the period in the last "no" for "number."
