Nobody’s gonna beat my hovercraft

hs-futuramaApparently the music we all love will still be around in the 31st century. Highway Star (the original album version) was featured in a new episode of Futurama — 2-D Blacktop — that had its premiere yesterday, June 19. In the episode, Professor Farnsworth takes to street racing and beats another two crews to the immortal tune in a race that culminates going through a tunnel, against traffic, with Hammond arpeggios as a sonic backdrop.

Watch episode highlights, including the racing scene, on ComedyCentral.com

    Ages ago I heard an instrumental version of ‘Maybe I’m A Leo’ as the soundtrack for a (German?) porn flick. Needless to say I, er, just stumbled across it, of course.

    I believe the flick was called “Maybe I’m Hung Like Leo”
