So Long and Thanks for All the Fish MP3
I searched all over the web and had a terribly difficult time of finding a complete MP3 version of “So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish,” the song at the beginning of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the movie based on the book by Douglas Adams (based on the radio series).
I found a Flash animation of the song, with some dolphins singing it and such. So I finally decided to use my new MuVo to encode it directly to MP3. It worked wonderfully.

So Long & Thanks for All the Fish Lyrics
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around youSo long, so long and thanks
for all the fishThe world’s about to be destroyed
There’s no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolveDespite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant womenSo long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so longSo long, so long and thanks
for all the fish(yeah)
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?(oh dear)
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant womenSo long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so longSo long, so long and thanks
for all the fish
Give credit where due: the mp3 is encoded from this flash animation.

Theres this bit that they missed: “If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learned to sing
Come one and all
Man and mammal
Side by side
In life’s great gene pool”
