Would someone please explain it to me? Yes, even I almighty wise one sometimes come up on the clueless end of the train, for I could not find the source of this unspeakable promo. I suspect foul evil underhanded marketing is at work but I will find you oh demons of misinfo.

Zaphod Beeblebrox
He's the guy you want to vote for
When you get into that voting booth
Put an 'X' next to his name
ZaphodZaphod Beeblebrox for President
Building bridges between the stars
In no way is he stupid, oh no
In no way is his brain impaired
It's just not true
He's smarter than you
And he's better looking too
Zaphod Beeblebrox
Has the longest hair of any candidate
And he's got the coolest shades
And his teeth are white as snow
So let's elect him President
He'll build bridges between the stars
Don't believe the rumors, oh no
Don't believe those vicious lies
They're just not true
He's smarter than you
And he's better looking too
Listen I just want to say, uh, you know, whatever presidents say, you know, things like uh, in the name of the people, and uh, freedom and uh, I dont know, democracy, stuff like that, he he...woooo!
Zaphod Beeblebrox for President
Building bridges between the stars
In no way is he stupid, no no
In no way is his brain impaired
It's just not true
He's smarter than you
And he's better looking too

Well, Zaphod is the President of the Universe in the books (and the movie I presume). IIRC he got the job because he was the only person in the universe *not* interested in being the President.
ReplyDeleteHe also should have two heads, and three arms, so I don't know what's up with the movie.
He makes a good Zaphod.
ReplyDeleteThere's 2 heads and 3 arms in the movie, you just can see them here.
