High Art

Regarding Robinson Crusoe on Mars:
Two songs were inspired by and named after the movie. One was sung by Johnny Cymbal, the other by Victor Lundin. Lundin wrote the song "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" to perform during his highly popular science fiction convention appearances. It became so beloved by fans that he recorded it for his 2000 album Little Owl. A music video for Lundin's song was created by the Criterion Collection in 2007 for the DVD release of the film.[1][2]


The real trick here is rhyming "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" with "I'll be that guy from Mars".

The guy's singing reminds me a bit of the Texas Tornadoes.

I had no idea anyone even remembered that rather forgettable film. I found the space monkey very annoying. And isn't this the one where Adam West of Batman fame gets killed off in the beginning of the film. It does have that going for it....

I'm giving it a shot: space monkeys are cool.

Zeppo, I'd link you but which should I link?
